BLACKSHEAR — Mr. Aaron Connor Davis, 19 of Blackshear, passed away Wednesday afternoon, March 26, 2025, at the Hospice Satilla Hospice House.
Born July 12, 2005 in Waycros, Davis lived in Pierce County all his life. He was a 2023 graduate of Pierce County High School.
Diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at a young age, Davis did not let the disease define him. He was fiercely independent and was an extremely talented artist having won awards at the Heritage Center Art Show in Waycross as well at the Eagle Station Art Show in Patterson.
When Davis wasn’t focusing on his artwork, you could find him playing on his Play Station with his brother, Kyle, for which he was a very serious “gamer”. He also loved to watch Anime shows, going to Jekyll and St. Simons Islands, and swimming.
He attended New Life Assembly of God.
Davis was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Ava Mathis; his maternal great grandfather, Mackie Turner; his aunt, Christina Turner; and two cousins, Brixton Beau Ogden and Kimberly Warren Guess.
Survivors include his
