Born on October 27, 1956, in Maury County, Tennessee, Rickey was the son of the late Rickey Eugene Davis and the late Mary Jones Davis.
Rickey was a very faithful and dedicated Christian that enjoyed playing gospel music. He was a very gifted bass guitar player with a heart of gold that showed his talent with his church family and choirs around the community. He will be missed by all who knew him.
He had a true passion for reading with his favorite author being James Patterson. He proudly served his country in the Unites States Navy.
He is survived by his wife, Vernal Jones Davis; sons, Rickey Davis (Katrina Christmon) of Columbia, Darwayne Mosley of Texas, Archie Jones of Oakland, California; daughter, Veronica Jones of Oakland, California; brother, Juan (Karen) Davis of Mt.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Irene Davis.
The family wishes to first and foremost thank God for the time we had with Rickey, his dedicated church family, the medical staff at Maury Regional Medical Center, the dedicated employees he worked with at VLS and the many friends that were a part of his life.
