Rob was my older cousin. We might have a separation but i never stopped loving him.
I read this in shock. He was a special person to me and always ways. It seems impossible to me that he as past and breaks my heart that we did not have a chance to patch things up. He was more like a good older brother to me. And as i read this i am crying. And i have no idea how much he meant to his family and so many people. Rob was much like his father a big man but more gental than you could even imagine. I am the one that took the pic of him holding his best bass. I know from first hand how much he loved me despite a little trouble and he was a person that loved his child in a capacity of love i wish i could understand. That is how much he loved his parents grandparents and all his cousins. I will always know Rob forgave me for my issue and always loved me. You are not likely to meet a person that put family first more than anything.
As , i cry i am beyond stunned. To the Davis family i am here for you as i always promised. And God bless your son he was a amazing part of my life and i am devastated he has past. Please reach out to me. I never left the Clark family despite a few minor issues.
Rob Davis, i have and always will love you with all my heart

Saddened to hear of Rob’s passing. I have so many fond memories of hanging out with Rob. We went our separate ways after I got married but I always kept those memories close. Rest in peace Rob!

I am so saddened to read of the death of Robert Davis. I taught Robert English at North Pulaski High School. Robert was a basketball player and a five student. He was always kind and courteous, always saying, "Yes Mam" and "No Mam" to me. Robert's mother, Gladys and I were friends, and I fondly remember sharing stories and maybe a little gossip with her in her office at North Pulaski. I remember Robert's sister, Robyn, for her gentle spirit and beautiful smile. My prayers are with Robert's family, and his friends.
