Larry Darnell Davis

Larry Darnell Davis was born May 20, 1945 in Turner, Arkansas to the late Otto and Emma Lou Davis.

Larry accepted Christ at St. Joseph Missionary Baptist Church in Postelle under the leadership of the late Reverend Calvin Jackson. 

On Monday, May 22, 2023, God saw the load was getting heavy, and the hills were harder to climb.  He gently whispered, “Peace Be Thine,” and life’s curtain closed for Larry at the Helena Regional Medical Center surrounded by his family and friends.  He left a void in our lives that will never be filled.
