During his last 37 years at Bud Davis Cadillac, the dealership won
many awards, including 27 years as “Master Dealer”
and 7 years as “Top 100 General Motors Dealers,” one of its highest
awards. He started his career coaching high school basketball in
Tishomingo and Kosmuth, Mississippi. His last two teams at Itawamba
Community College won Mississippi junior college championships. This
team was named the Itawamba Community College “Team of the Century” in
2000. Mr. Davis was a “leader of men” and prided himself on his love
of family and friends. His customers were the #1 priority in his
working life. He was devoted to his faith and to White Station Church
of Christ. Always active in the communities where he lived, he was
named “businessman of the year”
in several communities. Charities were a huge part of his life with
his latest favorites being Itawamba Community College and the
Porter-Leath Children’s Charities in Memphis. At his fundraiser for
Porter-Leath, he loved interacting with the children and offering his
“lessons for life.” A lifetime joy was playing golf with his buddies.
