Jimmy Davis

January 6, 1965 — February 17, 2025

Hobbs

James Donald “Jimmy D” Davis came into this world on January 6th, 1965 in Tacoma, Washington at Fort Lewis. He departed from it on February 17th, 2025 in El Paso, Texas. Jimmy lived a life full of adventure from his very first breath and has always kept his loved ones entertained and on their toes, no matter his age. 

Despite being awarded countless accolades throughout his life, whether athletic, academic or professional, his greatest accomplishments were the family he built and the friendships he cherished. Jimmy was the epitome of a family man and truly loved nothing more than spending time with his many, many loved ones. Jimmy was a proud Daddy and shared his childrens’ accomplishments with anyone who would listen. 

Coaching was Jimmy’s passion, as he loved all sports and he loved mentoring the youth in Hobbs. Along with volunteering countless hours at the Boys and Girls Club, Jimmy coached his sons’ football and basketball teams. He loved every single one of his players. His ability to light up a room, making everyone in it feel seen and loved, was truly special. The sparkle in his eyes when he told a joke and made people laugh will be sorely missed. 

Jimmy’s love for life was infectious. His passion for his many hobbies was inspiring and led many of his loved ones to pursue the same hobbies - of course, with guidance and mentorship from Jimmy D. The only thing Jimmy loved more than his many hobbies was sharing them with the ones he loved. 

 A semi-amateur break dancer, skater, golfer, Gus Macker baller; a hunter, boater, off-roader, and an amazing storyteller and chess-player. Jimmy D could truly do it all. Jimmy was a lake rat and a mountain man who loved any and all adventures. The number one fan of Dallas Cowboys football, Boston Celtics basketball, and all things Texas Christian University - not to mention his childrens, nieces, nephews and their many friends’ number one supporter and cheerleader. Passionate about music, particularly classic country and old school rap, Jimmy was known to freestyle many of his own raps, and of course he did it well. Jimmy burst into Heaven’s gates wearing camouflage and tie-dye, and was quickly greeted by his best hunting buddy, Billy Middleton, and hunting dog Hunter - they are surely on the trail of a flock of quail. 

Above all else, Jimmy’s pride and joy was the love of his life and his very best friend, his wife of nearly 40 years, his Stacey Lee.

Jimmy is survived by his mother, Linda Davis, of Fredericksburg, TX; his wife, Stacey Lee Davis, of Hobbs, NM; daughter Marissa Lawren Davis and son Tazmen Kenzell Roe of Pueblo, CO; son Stratton James Davis and daughter Annastasia Michelle Davis of Alamogordo, NM; son Dawson Reese Davis of Hobbs, NM. Jimmy is also survived by his brothers and sisters: Kelly Ray and brother-in-law Patrick Ray of Fredericksburg, TX; sister Barbara Blocker of Lubbock, TX; sister Constance Harrison of Clovis, NM; brother Craig Pettigrew of Clovis, NM; brother Chris Foote and special sister, his Sweetie, Karen Foote, of Clovis, NM; numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who became family. Jimmy was met at Heaven’s Gates by his father Jim Davis; his nannie Vera Scrimsher; his beloved parents Lawrence Colliflower & Sylvia Colliflower; and his best friend Billy Middleton.
