Joseph Edward Davis

Joseph Edward Davis, lovingly known as "Joe," entered eternal rest on Sunday, October 27, 2024, following a brief illness. Joe was born on February 14, 1946, in Vicksburg MS, one of eight children born to the late Wilbert Davis and Hattie Garrett Davis. A dedicated student, Joe graduated from Seneca Vocational High School in Buffalo NY before earning a masters degree from the University of New York at Buffalo. He served his country with pride as a U.S. Army veteran from 1968 to 1971. Following his military service, Joe became a beloved teacher in the Buffalo Public Schools, where he shared his love for learning with countless students over the years. Beyond his career, he was a man of faith and an avid gardener who found peace and joy in the beauty of nature. A dedicated member of Saint Lukes AME Zion church, Joe served as Vice Chair of the Trustee Board and formerly as Vice Chair of the Stewards Board. On July 17, 1971, Joe married the late Cheryl Young Davis, and together they built a wonderful life, raising the four children born of their union Rahman, Rahim, Hasan, and Sharifa. Joes legacy also lives on through his two cherished grandchildren, Landen and Serena. The memories of Joe will forever be embraced by his children, grandchildren, and his remaining two siblings, Julia Davis and Delorus Davis; as well as a host of nephews, nieces, cousins, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and five of his siblings. Services will be held at St. Luke AME Zion Church, 314 East Ferry Street, Buffalo... on Friday November 15th at 11am.
