Mr. Jackie Ted "Jack" Davis, Sr., age 83, passed away 12:48pm Thursday, February 3, 2022 at Cookeville Regional Medical Center.

Mr. Davis was born May 7, 1938 in Briceville, Tennessee to the late Norman and Leona Blaylock Davis. For 21 years, he owned Davis Construction, a company that specialized in water line installation in Ootewah, Tennessee. When he retired and moved back to White County, he was well known by his employment at the Bon Air Convenience Center. Jack was fortunate enough to marry the love of his life, Mary Ann Brock, on August 12, 1982 which began an almost 40-year-journey together. He was an avid outdoorsman and deer hunter. His 21pt buck garnered national attention when he was published in a hunting publication. Jack was still able to hunt with Hope Outdoors after his health declined to the point he could no longer go by himself. Above all else, his proudest accomplishment was being "Pa" to his beloved grandchildren.

In addition to his parents, Jack is preceded in death by brothers Junior Davis and Jimmy Davis, sister Virginia Davis and grandson Gary "GW" Evans.
