Antonio Leon Davis

Antonio Leon Davis, Jr., affectionately known as “Tony” or “Blue”, was born June 18, 1962 in Kissimmee, Florida to Eddie Davis, Sr. and Betty J. (Smith) Gould. He was raised in Orlando, Florida as a child. He enjoyed many sports, such as football and basketball in his early years. He later became fascinated with wrestling which became one of his main sports to watch every Saturday. Wrestling became the Saturday “Matinee” in his home, no matter what was on the television or who was watching it. Antonio represented the saying “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a life time.” He embodied the total essence of this quote. If you knew him, you knew that he was a “true f isherman”. At times, he would much rather fish than watch sports, which was proof of his passion for fishing. He’d say that fishing relaxed him the most. Antonio was also known to be a great dresser. He would always be dressed and clean as a whistle when he would step outside his home. He had a passion for detailing cars and making them shine as well. Tony was always up for a good challenge in dominoes and card games with a dose of wholesome “trash talking”. He loved spending quality time with his family and friends. Antonio was introduced to Christ as a young boy at Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. He later recommitted himself to Christ as a young adult in Orlando under Reverend Murray and continued to serve and love the Lord until his passing. The Lord in His infinite wisdom deemed it timely on May 3, 2024 at 12:28am, that Antonio Leon Davis, Sr. had fulfilled his earthly duties as the time had come for him to join those who preceded him in death; his Father, Mr. Eddie Davis, Sr., Brother, Eddie Davis, Jr.; Maternal Grandparents: Beatrice and James Smith; Paternal Grandparents: Clarence and Mildred Davis; Daughters: Taquanda Davis, Amanda Cull; Great Grandson, I’syer Barner; and a host of loving relatives.
