John Davis (gather.app)

 

Paul John Davis,III, beloved local florist, died unexpectedly at his home on Monday, November 15, 2021. John was born on November 10, 1966 in Savannah, Georgia. A lifetime member of Calvary Baptist Temple, John spent his youth centered around his family, his church and Calvary Day School. John learned his love of flowers as a teenager and shortly after graduating from high school in 1985, John opened John Davis Florist in 1988. John’s great sense of humor and love of his family and friends helped him create a successful business at 2430 Abercorn, where people from all walks of life would drop by the shop just to see John. Savannah locals called him immediately when they needed support during milestone moments - a wedding, birth of a new baby, funeral or Jewish holiday. John always knew the light hearted thing to say to give comfort and helped spread joy with his flowers. His true home was at his shop where he could create a flower arrangement and talk to you about your family without skipping a beat. Named Savannah’s best florist for over 15 consecutive years, John created his unique arrangements for international dignitaries, Olympians, several Georgia governors and has organized weddings, special events and funerals in 10 foreign countries. John’s ability to make everyone laugh - even if he was poking fun at you - made him one of Savannah’s most beloved business owners. John had a deep love for animals and helped raise thousands of dollars for local pet charities. He loved Calvary football and Calvary girl’s basketball games, his hundreds of friends at Spanky’s and Tubby’s Thunderbolt, and his shop family. Thank you to the hundreds of people who have had the privilege of helping John deliver Valentine’s flowers, help set up for a wedding, or deliver flowers to the sick. His laugh and hugs will be missed but his love of this community and the people he touched will be forever remembered.  As John would say, “Buy Flowers.”

John was preceded in death by his father, Paul John Davis, Jr.

John is survived by his wife, Jennifer Abshire Davis; his stepchildren Phillip and Reilly Abshire; his mother, Jacquelyn Graham Davis; his sisters Paula Branson and Pam Rody (James), niece Jacquelyn Rody, nephew Paul Rody, nephew Ryan Simons (Caitlyn); along with many more family members and more friends than anyone could ever name. 

A Memorial Service will be held Thursday, November 18, 2021, 10:00 am, at Calvary Baptist Temple, 4625 Waters Avenue, Savannah, Georgia 31405.

Private burial will be in Dorchester Cemetery in Midway, GA.

Remembrances can be made to Calvary Day School.

A register book will be available, daily until 5:00 p.m., at Fox & Weeks, Hodgson Chapel or here on our website.

Finally, I told John I trusted him with my order and whatever he decided would be perfect…and it was. Love and Prayers to you!

- Faye Anderson , Pooler , Georgia

John is gone much too soon. He was a very nice person. He did the flowers for 2 daughters weddings and was a pleasure to work with. I loved his Facebook posts in which he never punctuated and always ended with “buy flowers”. Condolences to his family.

- Elaine Blau Becker, Savannah , GA

John always had an instant smile for all of us who talked with him...and he helped me wonderfully with my father's funeral ten years ago... A beautiful soul now with God , in heaven....

Sending lots of love and prayers to my family in Savannah, to Jennifer and all those so close to John. I am still in such disbelief that someone so full of life could just be gone so quick.

The world truly lost someone special and sadly at a time when we more people like him.

You always made everyone feel so loved. The flowers my family ordered for different occasions were always arranged perfectly by you.

Your response was, “You mean for this year?” You never rushed a conversation with me always allowing me to know that you cared. Truly you will be missed. Loved you big!

If you weren’t laughing when you were around John, you weren’t really living. He was the LIFE of every room and situation he was in.

Jennifer, my heart aches for you. Savannah has lost another legend. John will not be forgotten!

- Monica McGoldrick, SAVANNAH, GA

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's a huge loss for Savannah as a whole and just everyone who ever got the privilege of standing next to John and hearing that hearty laugh of his and being surrounded by his big heart. John did the flowers at my daughter's wedding (Amie Schulz) when she married Wesley Dasher. That was the first time I met John. And heard of his dog birthday parties and would run into him on occassion always to feel like he remembered me and he'd just fall so naturally into conversation. I'm sad to know he's gone too soon from this side of heaven. Our loss. Heaven on the other hand....WOW...talk about a big celebration full of such joy.

- Suzie Schulz, Savannah, GA

I graduated from Calvary with John back in 1985 and also grew up in Kensington Park. I was new to Calvary in high school and John was always pleasant and friendly to me. I moved to Atlanta some years ago but still kept up with him at a distance through Facebook. His inherent good cheer and grace always shone through. I send my prayers and condolences to his extended family and friend. I wish you peace.

- Charles R. Bridgers, Atlanta, GA

Condolences to John’s family! I have known John since high school days at Calvary. He was always helpful with flowers under pressure and other occasions. He was an awesome person. I couldn’t just stop in the store to buy flowers…had to spend an hour catching up. He would tease me and I would tease him right back! He has left a hole in my life! May good memories get the family through this time. Love and Hugs Tracy Deemer Chance

- Michael K Dunbar , Garden City , Georgia

Loved John from the first time I walked into the shop when we moved to Savannah. He did both daughters weddings with most beautiful flowers that lasted for forever. He was sweet, funny, talented and an amazing human being. Could not believe it when I was told he had passed away by my cousin Joey Rosen, John’s dear friend. Can still see the beautiful bouquet he sent my cousin Marilyn Cranman to make journey easier. May you Rest In Peace Dear John. Thanks for lovely memories.

- Harriet Simmons, Atlanta, GA

My heart goes out to the family for this great loss! I met John many years ago selling teddy bears and he just love it when I came to visit.
