Tommy Glen Davis, age 76 of Jackson, passed away on Monday, August the 10th of 2020 at Jackson Madison County General Hospital after a short illness. Tommy was born the middle child of the late Sam and LeeNell Dickson Davis in Senath, Missouri on July 16, 1944.
Mr. Davis was seventeen when he accepted Jesus Christ as his savior and was a member of the Faith Baptist Church of Jackson, Tennessee. Tommy was a long time heavy equipment owner-operator and later retired as a driver for Indiana Transport. He enjoyed several hobbies such as fishing, hunting, gardening and spending time with his several grand and great-grandchildren. If he was listening to music, it was probably being sung by Willie Nelson or Waylon Jennings and if he was watching television it was probably a John Wayne movie, which were some of his favorites.
