On Wednesday, November 23, 2022, after a long, fought battle with liver cancer, our Lord and Savior called Leon home.

He was preceded in death by his parents Betty and Matthew Davis and two brothers George and Stuart.

He is also survived by many in-laws, cousins, nieces & nephews.

Leon was a farmer and Edgecombe County Deputy Sheriff where he served the citizens of Edgecombe County for thirty plus years. He enjoyed his time with his grandchildren and church family and friends and traveling with his wife prior to becoming sick.
