On July 24, 2018, Johnny Davis was headed to the river for some time with his dad. They were riding their bikes and Johnny’s bike took on too much speed. He was unable to stop at the crossing. A pickup driver hit him while he crossed the street. Johnny was taken home to be with the Lord in the presence of his earthly father, Adam. This GoFundMe account is set up to help the family through this extremely difficult time. These funds will cover hospital costs, funeral expenses, as well as give the family time to grieve together.
