Born in Greeneville, TN on August 27, 1950, he was the son of the late Guy and Velma Davis. Ken was a member of Nowlings Chapel Freewill Baptist Church. He loved the Lord and his family, and he was loved by many. He worked for many years in textile and furniture.

In addition to his parents, Ken was preceded in death by brothers-in-law, David Mayfield and Jeff Moses; and a nephew, Cody Davis.
The family will receive friends from 1 to 3 p.m., Wednesday, August 14, 2024 at Nowlings Chapel Freewill Baptist Church. The funeral will be held at 3 p.m. in the church with Revs. Darvy Hensley and Bobby Shehan officiating. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of Amorem Hospice for the compassion shown to Ken.

Ken will surely be missed! He was such a marvelous light in this dark world. His smile always lit up the room wherever he was. It is wonderful to know that he is with our Heavenly Father now, and no longer in pain.
