Michael Wayne Davis

1952 ∼ 2026

Michael Wayne Davis

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Michael Davis, who departed this life on September 15, 2026, in Groves, Texas. Michael was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished grandfather, and beloved brother whose presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Michael was a proud graduate of Nederland High School. Throughout his life, he was a self-employed carpenter, a profession he not only excelled at but genuinely enjoyed. His skillful hands and dedication to his craft were evident in every project he undertook.

Beyond his professional life, Michael found immense joy in simple pleasures. He was an avid fisherman, finding peace and contentment by the water. Above all, he treasured the time spent with his family, creating lasting memories that will be held dear by his loved ones.

Michael is survived by his devoted wife, Janice Davis, with whom he shared a lifetime of love and companionship. He leaves behind his two beloved sons, Brian Davis, Aaron and wife Keaton Davis, who were a source of immense pride. His legacy continues through his five grandchildren, Hannah, Izakk, Emilee, Ryann, and Luke, and his two great-grandchildren, Hazel and Ivy, with another great-grandchild on the way Asher, all of whom brought great joy to his life. He is also survived by his brother, Randy and wife Chris Davis.

Michael was preceded in death by his parents, James and Bettie Davis, and his sisters, Paula Adaway and Phyllis Theriot. Though he is no longer with us, the memories of his kindness, his dedication to his work, his love for fishing, and his unwavering commitment to his family will forever remain in our hearts. May he rest in eternal peace.

Visitation will be 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m., Friday, September 18, 2026 at Melancon Levingston Funeral Home, 5601 39th Street, Groves, Texas with a service to begin at 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow the service at Greenlawn Memorial Park in Groves, Texas.

We are all thinking of you, Janice, as well as your 'boys'. Please rest assured that our prayers are with each of you during the weeks and months ahead. This story is from me • Ginia. I remember... I was in the 4th or 5th grade, so Mike would have been in the 8th or 9th grade. I had a little white dog named Snowball, that managed to escape during school hours. We, the neighborhood kids who numbered well over 20, were riding our bikes around the streets calling for my pup. We couldn't find her by the time everyone's Moms started calling "supper time", so we headed home. While we were eating Mike came to the door to say he thought he found Snowball. She had been hit by a car on Nederland Avenue and was dead. Mike said I'll walk with you and carry her home if she is your dog. He did - he walked with and carried her home for me. That was a long time ago but I remember. Thank you Mike for being a kind teenager to a sad little girl. Harold, Virginia Busby Ginia (Burton) Cassie (Robbins) Rhonda (Johnstone)

Janice- Mary & I hold you and your family in our prayers at this time. I know Mike was in extreme pain for a long time and now that pain is over. Although it is never easy to say goodbye to your loved one, know that he is now with the Lord and his pain is gone. Remember all of the good times

Janice, boys and family, My heart breaks to hear the news that Mike has passed. Nathan loved him dearly and I did, too. I’ll always treasure the fun and laughter we all shared, especially, at the Friday night fish fries. I think of the countless hours and hard work that he, Put, Glenn and Nathan poured into building house after house. I’ll treasure his friendship and sweetness. There was no better friend. He was always ready to come to the aid of those he cared about on a moment’s notice. We love you, Mike. My prayers follow you. Karen
