Harold Edward "Hobert" Davis

May 20, 1943  -  September 24, 2025

Harold Edward “Hobert” Davis was called home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on September 24, 2025, at the age of 82. He was born on May 20, 1943, in Winchester, Tennessee. Harold lived his life as a dedicated and loyal Christian who loved and served Jesus Christ faithfully. Harold was guided by the principles of grace and integrity. Harold accepted Christ as his Savior at the age of 12. He was a member of the Winchester First Baptist Church. He taught Sunday School to youth and helped various ministries throughout his life. During the past five years, he has shared the gospel by giving away 2,000 of the miniature Jesus figurines. As he passed out the figurines, he would say, “Jesus loves you, and he will change your life.” His faith was his foundation, and his life reflected his belief in Christ’s promises.

Professionally, Harold worked for Sunbeam and Colonial Bread Companies for 40 years. Upon retirement, he worked for Southern Tennessee Regional Health Systems as a courier for 10 years. He was presently working for the Franklin County Solid Waste at the Center Grove Convenience Center. Harold shared his love for the outdoors as a fishing guide for more than 50 years, where many found his companionship as valuable as the fishing itself. He had the privilege to guide professional athletes, Grand Ole Opry members, state and local leaders, and his best friend, the late Supreme Court Justice Ted Chattin. He and his brother Robert fished together weekly.

Harold was preceded in death by his parents, Ivy and Nellie Davis; wife, Annette Finchum Davis; his twin brother Robert Davis, and his sisters Hilda Barnes, Barbara Davis Hawkersmith, and Doris Davis Holland. He leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory, his son, Jimmy (Lynde) Davis; daughter, Becky Davis Campbell; sister Reba Davis Evans; sister-in law Claudia Davis; brothers-in-law, Loyd Barnes and Rudy Holland; grandson, Kaleb Davis; granddaughters, Kaleigh Davis, Haley Campbell, Hannah Campbell; nephews, Eddy Davis, Mark Wimley, Chris Stephens, Justin Scharber, and Jermey Little; nieces, Holly Madrigal, Lisa Allen, Angie Donohoe, Melanie Garner, and April Jackson; and special friends, Courtney Gipson, Paul Tucker, Gary and Karen Mumma, and Keith and Jill Brown. Family and friends will conduct the service and serve as pallbearers.

His life was one of service, faith, and devotion to God, to his family and to his community and to all were blessed to know him. Though we will miss him dearly, his memory and Christian witness will live on in the hearts of many. We find comfort in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection through Christ.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, September 27, 2025, from 12-3 pm at Moore-Cortner Funeral Home. The service will follow at 3:00 pm in the Chapel of Moore-Cortner Chapel Funeral Home. Interment will be at Franklin Memorial Gardens
