A native of Moore Co., NC, Mr. Davis was born November 7, 1941, the son of the late Harrison and Mary Brewer Davis.

Johnny lived a wonderful life, he was a man who was loved by many and gave his love to everyone he met. Johnny spent past time going to Teague store and spending time with the old timers there. If Johnny wasn’t at the store, he was either wandering around somewhere between Robbins and Star visiting family and friends, passing on his knowledge and wisdom or telling the same stories we all heard a million times over.

He loved cooking BBQ and feeding everyone who would eat with him. Family and friends were most important, but as import were his Church family and his trust in God. During his short sickness he told everyone he met that “I’m not at all concerned, the good Lord’s got this.”

The Family Thanks Dr. Ben Herrick and the staff at Alliance Urology for the excellent care and compassion our Dad received over the last year. The ER Staff at Randolph Hospital and Wesley Long Hospitals. And the ICU Staff at Wesley Long Hospital for the Care over the last week. Though we can’t remember every name your care for our Dad will never be forgotten.

In addition to his parents, Mr. Davis was preceded in death by his wife, Linda Sheppard Davis.

Mr. Davis is survived by his sons, Steve Davis, Keith Davis, both of Seagrove; sister, Pat Lankford (Randy) of Robbins; and grandson, Tanner Davis (Brittany). His Best Buddy Great Nephew Cooper Davis. Step-Grand Children, whom he NEVER referred to as step and loved wholeheartedly. Sean Doherty, Shannon Doherty, Kristy Glover, Lora Gattis. And Miss Emily Ann Davis, who awaited her Paw Paw’s arrival to Heaven.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 5, 2023, at Ridge Funeral Home.
