My Grandad, one of my best friends on this Earth, completed his journey and went to be with the Lord.
Charlie Davis aka Mr. Beau, passed at 98yrs old.
He was a father to me, the lessons I learned from this man. The mud he came from, the life and legacy, our conversations…it’s truly unbelievable.
I thank God for this man. He saved my life, my fathers life and many others. He lived his life real as real can get but most importantly he loved God and his family with a passion.
My favorite papa quotes:
“I came from nothing. Can’t read or write but look what God can do!”
“Stay away from the crackheads and to hell with the window shoppers, you’ll be alright”
“Boy you sing like a Mexican”
“I held you in my hand, you was no bigger than my hand. I knew you wasn’t gonna make it. I prayed that God would have it his way. Now look at you! Big ass mf’er! You greasssin boy, eating two or three plates! Slow down, shit!”
“You too close”
“However ever”
“It won’t be long now, for any of us”
“She look white!?”
“Everybody in this store 7ft tall. Man and Woman! 7ft tall”
“What in the hell is wrong with you boy”
Thank you so much pops for being my rock. I’m so glad God took you in your sleep. Your with Momma now. Rest well as you lived well.
You loved WWE wrestling even though “you know it was bullshit”
You loved Lee Williams and The Canton Spirtuals
You loved watching old westerns and I loved watching them with you.
The smell of your pipe will forever be my favorite smell.
Your favorite song:
“Heaven is looking down on me. When my friends do me wrong I shake it off and move on. Cause Heaven is looking down on me. When I lay awake and can’t sleep I feel an angel at my feet. Cause Heaven is looking down on me.”
Love you Pop.

You had what so many didn’t. A present and loving Grandfather. May he rest well. Prayers for peace in your heart.

My Grandfather would tell the story of holding myself and my twin, one in each hand, how small we were, how we needed to be microwaved to help us grow. Those are cherished moments. May they continue their power in your life.
