Emblem

With love and remembrance, we celebrate the life of Master Sergeant (Retired) Robert Davis Jr., "Bobby" - a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, coach, and proud veteran who meant so much to so many.

At the age of 18, he joined the United States Air Force and served for 22 years. He was deployed to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War in support of Operation Desert Storm. He also earned a bachelor's degree from Columbia Southern University while serving on active duty.

Following his military career, he taught JROTC at Austin East High School and Heritage High School, where he positively impacted countless young lives.

He found great joy in coaching baseball and football. He loved spending time on the golf course, cheering on University of Tennessee athletics, and was an avid poker player.

Above all, he cherished his family. He is survived by his beloved wife, Amy; his sons, Dustin (Danielle), Jamey (Tarah), and Trey; and his treasured grandchildren, Lincoln, Forrest, Lillian, and Levi, who brought him endless pride and joy. He is also survived by his brother, Jason Wilson (Stephanie); his sister, Barbie Wilson (Steven); and his stepmother, Yvonne Wilson.

He was preceded in death by his father, Robert; his mother, Carlene; and his stepfather, James Earl.

His legacy of service, mentorship, and love will live on in the many lives he touched. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, April 17, 2026, in the Chapel of Decatur Funeral Home & Cremation Services with the Rev. Gerald Jones officiating. Interment will follow in the Walnut Grove Cemetery.

The family will receive friends from 12 noon - 2 p.m., prior to the service.
