Jake Edmund Davis was born on August 3, 1991, the son of Ed and Kelly, in Grand Forks, ND where he was baptized at St. Michael’s Catholic Church. He finished his schooling, graduating in 2009. He spent most of his time in Fargo where he enjoyed working with his best friend, Jesse Beyers. Becoming a daddy to Chance is the most cherished part of his life – he loved being daddy and was blessed with all the time he had with him. Jake’s love for family and friends filled the hearts of many. His smile, laughter and smirks were infectious and brightened every room he entered. From laughter to tears he will be remembered by all as the fun loving devoted, caring guy he was. Jake’s favorite things were playing hockey, skateboarding, spending time at the lake, late night bonfires and all the knowledge shared, hanging with his buddies or his family. Jake is survived by his parents, Ed Davis of Wyndemere, ND; and Kelly (Mike) Hoffman of Fargo; his son, Chance Davis - and his mother, Samantha Matheson; his grandparents – Gerald and Bernice Davis and Emma Jean Lecy.
