Athena Michelle Davis

Athena loved spending time outdoors, especially at the beach. She enjoyed listening to birds and music, participating in extreme water sports, and dancing. Above all, she cherished spending time with her parents, snuggling, and holding hands.

Athena stayed active in C.A.S.T. for Kids, Texas Adaptive Aquatics, Wave of Impact, No Limit Dance, Morgan's Wonderland , Moody Gardens' Therapy Hope Adaptive Sports, and Keeper of the Game.

Athena is survived by her parents, Aaron and Tina Davis; her brothers, Ryan Davis and wife Amanda, Josh Davis, Matthew Davis, and Raden Davis; her paternal grandparents, Donald and Barbara Davis; her maternal grandparents, Willie and Sue McClelland; her nieces, Emma Davis and Charlotte Davis; her nephew, Sullivan Davis; her nurses, Georgette Watson-Miller and Caitlyn Greer; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Friends and family are invited to attend a visitation from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at Grace Bible Church in Nacogdoches. A Celebration of Life service will follow at 2:00 p.m. at Grace Bible Church, officiated by Pastor Charles Rikard and Bro. Travis Cox.

To honor Athena’s life and raise awareness of Shaken Baby Syndrome, everyone attending her service is invited to wear purple in her memory. May this small gesture serve as a lasting tribute to her life and a reminder of the importance of protecting our little ones.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests making memorial contributions to The Shaken Baby Alliance, The Parker Lee Project, or the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Athena’s family would also like to acknowledge the love and dedication of all her therapists, dance instructors, and friends who worked so hard for her and loved her, including her occupational, physical, vision, and speech therapists.

Arrangements are under the direction of Cason Monk-Metcalf Funeral Directors.
