Corey Davis

Brandon "Corey" Davis was born April 12, 1976, in Irving, Texas, to proud parents Darryl and Pam Davis. On October 13th, 2022, our sweet Corey passed away leaving behind his family and friends. Some of Corey’s best childhood memories were playing soccer, swimming, playing army with his little brother, Kevin, and just being with his family. He graduated from Nimitz High School in 1995 and was voted Who’s Who in tennis during his senior year. He was a huge Cowboys, and hardly ever missed watching a game with his brother Kevin. Corey loved his country and always wanted to join the army when he grew up. That dream was not possible due to a soccer accident that kept him from being able to pass the physical required. He showed his passion for the military by the names he chose for all his pet dogs: Liberty, Freedom, Justice, and Glory. His favorite song was “Proud to be an American” by Lee Greenwood. In 2005, Corey met the love of his life, Jackie, while living in Brownwood, Texas. They married on November 7, 2006, and raised a beautiful daughter whom Corey adopted on November 22, 2010. This day was especially noted as one of the happiest moments in Corey’s life. Corey obtained his CDL license and found that he loved driving trucks. He was quickly advancing his truck driving career when he suffered a seizure, which was diagnosed as a brain tumor. He underwent brain surgery successfully and was recovering for the next seven years, however, this ended his commercial truck driving career. Corey’s dog, Glory, never left his side throughout the cancer treatments and was faithful to the end. His wife, Jackie, passed away in 2020 and Corey’s health began declining both physically and emotionally. Even though each day became more difficult for Corey, he never failed to let his family know how much he loved them and how much he appreciated everything they did to help him. Those left to mourn the loss of Corey forever are; daughter Evelyn Davis of Bedford; mother, Pam Froehner and husband Bill of Irving; father, Darryl Davis and wife Carolyn of Royce City; brother, Kevin Davis and spouse Kodi of Fort Worth; stepsister, Cassie Romano of Richardson; stepbrothers, William Froehner and wife Silvia of Garland, David Patterson and wife Tamera of Rockwall, and Chris Anderson and wife Marcelle of Fairview; uncle Rick and aunt Laurie Gaines, aunt, Sharon Russell; cousins, Steven, Michael, and Taylor and many other family members. Corey was preceded in death by his wife, Jackie Davis; brother, Casey Davis; stepbrother, Terry Patterson; grandparents, Glenn and Gertie Gaines, and John and Anita Drake. A memorial service will be held Saturday, November 5, 2022, at 1 p.m. at Oak Grove Memorial Gardens. 1413 E. Irving Blvd, Irving, Texas 75060. Corey & Jackie’s ashes will be privately interred, November 7, 2022, on what would have been their 16th wedding anniversary. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation to be made in Corey’s name to the Wounded Warriors Project. https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/
