James "Robert" Davis

James Robert Davis, known to his family and friends as Robert, passed away on June 7, 2026, at the age of 54.

Robert was born on February 24, 1972, in Ocala, Florida. He spent his career working as a heavy equipment operator in the logging industry, a profession that reflected his strong work ethic and dedication.

In his free time, Robert enjoyed fishing, race cars, and UFC fights. He could often be found watching reruns of Yellowstone, one of his favorite shows. More than anything, Robert had a special way with children and was dearly loved by all the kids in his life.

Robert was preceded in death by his father, James Donnie Davis; his grandparents, Dave and Edna Davis; and his grandfather, James Fender.

He is survived by his mother, Marcella Dianne Kenel; his sister, Tina Turner; his grandmother, Betty Fender; his uncles, Joe Davis, and Jimmy Fender; and his aunts, Connie Wilson, Elizabeth Parrish, Margaret Macy, and Donna Lewis. He also leaves behind his 4-year-old second cousin and namesake, James Nocifora, and nephew, Cade Turner, along with many other family members and friends who will cherish his memory.
