Jeremiah loved life! He loved fishing. Didn’t matter where! He loved music. He was a very talented pianist and played in several bands during his life. He loved to read, and was an excellent storyteller. But mostly he loved his family.

He loved his many positions with Lowes Companies from Warehouse Manager in the Martinsville store, to Regional Staff, and Store Manager in Maryland before he requested a transfer back home to spend more time with family. He retired from Lowes Home Improvement with nearly 30 years service in 1994. Being a Davis, construction was in his blood. After retirement, he worked for Mod-U-Kraf Homes and Clayton Homes. When Jeremiah built something, you knew it would last! He was very detail oriented and never cut corners!

His creative and loving personality will be honored and deeply missed by his family and loved ones.

A service honoring his life will be held on Monday, December 26, with Pastor Don Reynolds officiating. Visitation will begin at 10:00am at Wright Funeral Services in Martinsville VA, with service to follow at 11:30. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Jeremiah to Merkel Cell Carcinoma research.

"One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the people crowding around Him and listening to the Word of God, he saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by fishermen,who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and askedhim to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, 'Put out into the deep water, and let down the netsfor a catch.'...Then Jesus said to Simon, Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men.* (Luke 5:1-5;10)
