MOOREVILLE – Michael Dean Davis, Jr. put down his hammer and nails and entered the glory of Heaven from Memphis-University of Tennessee Hospital. Dean crossed over at 3 PM Tuesday, May 12, 2026 after a period of declining health. Born on October 2, 1973, Michael’s parents were Michael Dean Davis, Jr. who survives and the late Frankie Jean McCarley Oliver, who died February 16, 2026. Michael lived his entire life in Lee County. He was fun loving, always in motion, and had a way of getting things done promptly and thoroughly. Michael was a hard-working master carpenter and builder who was highly sought for jobs and was known as a go-getter.

Michael had a good run over 52 years, was kind to others and cut a wide path of being an above average worker, family man and devoted to the good of mankind.
