John "Poochie" Davis Sr. was born on January 25, 1942, in Cleveland, Texas.  He attended Hebert High School.  He married Gloria Madison in 1960 in Beaumont, Texas.  A member of the Beaumont community, John devoted 25 years to the City of Beaumont's Water Department, retiring with a legacy of service and commitment.

John was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend whose love for God was the cornerstone of his life. His unwavering faith was evident in his role at Greater Zion Missionary Baptist Church, where he served with grace and dedication as a deacon.

John's hobbies included raising animals and fishing. At one point he had dogs, rabbits and chickens. There were always several animals around.

He is preceded in death by his beloved parents, his wife Gloria Davis, and his brothers Enuc Jackson, Henry Jackson, Jimmy Jackson, and Travis Jackson, and his sister Shirley Ann.

John leaves a loving family that will deeply miss him: his sons, Michael Davis (Stephanie) and John Davis (Cathy), his brother, Elbert Lee, and five cherished grandchildren. Additionally, he is survived by a host of relatives and close friends enriched by his presence and spirit.
