Taylor Crockett “Irish” Davis, 30, of Irving, Texas passed away on June 13, 2020 at T. Boone Pickens Hospice and Palliative Care Center. A memorial service will be held at Merit Memorial Funeral Home in Farmers Branch, Texas on June 25, 2020 at 3:00 pm.

He will be laid to rest next to his loving mother Peggy Diane “Dee Dee” Davis. Merit Memorial Funeral Home will be handling the memorial service arrangements. Taylor was born in Atlanta, Georgia to Randy James and Peggy Diane Davis on November 17, 1989. He graduated from McKinney North High School in 2008. He went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Oklahoma State University in 2013. He was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity. He worked as an Engineer in Training in Tulsa, Oklahoma before later working very successfully as an Associate Property Tax Consultant for Marvin F. Poer and Company, when illness cut a very promising career tragically short. He enjoyed cooking, golf, bowling, online gaming, fantasy football, baseball, shooting paint ball and air soft guns, attending Dallas Stars hockey, Atlanta Falcons football, Oklahoma State football, and adored his beloved lab mix dog Ringo. He was a highly respected, capable and intelligent team member in every position he held. He was known to be very caring, kind, empathetic, and a “peaceful soul”. A beloved son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, friend, co-worker and grandson. He was a fine young man and will be truly missed by everyone whose lives he touched. From a very young age, Taylor was never handed an easy life due to his neurofibromatosis, but courageously overcame many challenges. Alas, he fought bravely without complaint against a cancer that could not be overcome. He was so special and we rejoice in his life. He was (and is) so loved and missed. Taylor is survived by his father Randy James Davis, sister Tiffany Johnson, brother-in-law Hunter Johnson, nephew Colton Johnson, and niece Savannah Johnson. He was preceded in death by his loving mother Peggy Diane Davis, grandfather James Davis, grandmother Margaret Brown, grandfather Charles Brown, aunt Connie Morgan, and aunt Patricia Brown.
