Wesley Anton Davis '43'

A precious one from us is gone, a voice we loved is still. A

place is vacant in our hearts which can never be filled.

On May 26, 1982, Wesley Anton Davis entered this world in

Marshall, Texas. 

He was blessed with 43 years of life before

being released from his pain on February 17, 2026, in

Longview, Texas.

Raised by faith, love, and respect at an early age, Wesley was

baptized at Concordia United Methodist Church. “Wes”

attended Marshall schools and graduated from Marshall High

School in 2002.

Throughout the years, Wesley worked various jobs, with his

final employment at Applebee’s in Longview, Texas. He formed

many friendships along the way and left lasting impressions on

coworkers and customers alike.

Wesley was preceded in death by his father, Nathaniel Sparks.

To cherish his memory, Wesley leaves behind his loving

mother, Sherry Davis; one brother, Chad Davis-Sparks; and

three sisters, Lesley Davis-Sparks, Angie Davis-Sparks, and

Terri Sparks. He also leaves his playful nephew, Reggie

Garrett; three nieces, Amaya, Layla, and Destiny, all of

Marshall, Texas; and two aunts, including Sherry Weisner of

Marshall, Texas, and Curlie Jackson of Houston, Texas. In

addition, he is remembered by other nieces and nephews, many

cousins, and a host of devoted friends who will forever hold

him close in their hearts.
