Infant Lester U. Davis IV

Little blue-eyed angel Lester Ulysses Davis IV was born on Monday, March 2, 2015 and was called to be with the Lord on Tuesday, June 16, 2015. His family was blessed with his infectious smiles, his frequent hiccups and sweet squeaks in the time they shared. He was charismatic and his flirty little looks won the hearts of all the nurses and everyone else that cared for him. "Lil Lil Les" experienced hand holding, singing from his family, hugs and kisses (especially those of the Eskimo and butterfly variety from his mommy), and being told "I love you" an uncountable amount of times. Though his time with us was short he will have a piece of our hearts for eternity.

He is preceded in death by paternal great-grandparents Lester U. Davis Sr. and Donald A. Ayers, and maternal great-grandparents Gujey and Dadod and Dorothy Condo.

He is survived by his parents Lester U. Davis, III and Amber Lynn Atkison; brother Chayton U. Davis;  paternal great-grandparents Audrey and Sal Maldonaldo and Carol Ayers of Bath, New York; maternal great-grandparents Betty and Max Atkison of Bertram, Texas; paternal grandparents Jan and Lester U.
