The staff and Parker Memorial Funeral Home prioritize the health and well-being of our associates, family and guests. We understand this is a fluid and serious situation that we are in today and that we are monitoring and evaluating developments of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
We and the state still believe that gathering and supporting one another at a time of loss is very important. At this time, we are asking everyone to support a limited gathering and visitation policy. This is a guideline of the CDC and the state board of health. We will be allowing small family groups and limited persons at visitations, funerals and gravesides until this crisis is over.
We do ask that those at risk or those not feeling well stay at home, but reach out to the family via the memorial webpage on www.parkermemorialfuneralhomes.com. Also we are listing family addresses where you may reach out to them and send them a card or a note of encouragement in their time of loss. Flowers and expressions of sympathy are still being accepted.
We also ask those who are attending visitation and funeral services to follow the CDC recommendations to take the usual steps to help prevent the spread of illness. Social distancing is very important in the control of the spread of this virus.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this time we are in with the (COVID-19). When this crisis is over we will resume our normal procedures and operation.
Prayers are with all of you, we trust that God will protect and strengthen us as we get through this crisis together. “Faith does not mean trusting God to stop the storm, but trusting Him to strengthen us as we walk through the storm”.
Michael Elvis Davis, 51, of Bruce, Mississippi passed from this life on March 25, 2020 at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford. Born on April 21, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee, Mike was the only child born to the late Elvis Jewel Davis and Sue Costner Davis.
Mike covered many miles of life in the driver’s seat of a big rig, specializing in the transportation of timber. When Mike wasn’t shifting gears and keeping the road hot, he could be found quietly awaiting a deer. When the weather was right and the fish were biting, he enjoyed the peace he found fishing. Mike didn’t simply pass away, he held in his soul the cure to death, a relationship with Jesus where he worshiped Him at Sherman Baptist Church.
Mike leaves behind one loving daughter Casey (Adam) Keel of Bruce; two grandchildren, Ava Keel and Colin Keel of Bruce.
He was preceded in death by parents; Elvis Jewel Davis and Sue Costner Davis; wife, Pam Neal Davis.
A graveside service remembering Mike’s life will take place on Sunday, March 29, 2020 at 2:00 P.M in the Bruce Cemetery ,with Bro. Johnny Halderman officiating
Parker Memorial Funeral Home of Bruce and Vardaman is honored to serve the family in making arrangements remembering Mike’s life. Online condolences may be made at parkermemorialfuneralhomes.com.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be given to the American Diabetic Association
