Michael Knight Davis

Big Canoe, GA- Michael Knight Davis died peacefully at home on June 30, 2020.

He was born on January 4, 1941 to Dr. John Thomas Davis and Nell Balcome Davis in Walhalla, SC.  He was a graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology and a member of Phi Delta Fraternity.  On July 14,1966 he married Kathryn Antoinette Davis.  A devoted husband and father, he took great joy in providing a loving home for his family. He was a systems analyst and consultant in his working years and served as Chief Financial Officer for Consulting Services Inc. before his retirement in 2000. His retirement was interrupted when he chose to serve as a tax consultant with H&R Block for eight years. He had a deep appreciation of nature and enjoyed serving on the Mountain Stewards and Big Canoe Trail Committee.  He discovered his hidden artistic talent in the Big Canoe artist club and travelled overseas to find further artistic inspiration.  His life was an adventure that carried him from a small country town to the big city and he later settled in the North Georgia mountains.  We take comfort knowing he is at peace, and he will forever live in our hearts.

Survivors include his wife, Kay, his children Michelle Harvey, Dr. Michael K. Davis, Jr., Maj. Anthony (Tony) Davis, and seven grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his brothers, John T. Davis, Dr. Edward Davis and by his parents.
