Moses Davis

August 31, 1940 – November 3, 2026

Celebrating a Life of Family, Love, and Enduring Memories

With loving hearts and cherished memories, we celebrate the life of Moses Davis, who departed this life on November 3, 2026, at the age of 86, following a lengthy illness.

Moses was born on August 31, 1940, in Columbia, South Carolina, to the late Willie and Clara Davis. Raised with the values of family, perseverance, and hard work, Moses carried those principles with him throughout his life.

Moses spent much of his adult life in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he worked for many years as a professional truck driver. He took great pride in his work and in his membership in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, an organization representing the hardworking men and women of his profession.

In the later years of his life, Moses relocated to Northern Virginia to be closer to his beloved sister, Mary Anthony, and his niece, France Saunders. During his final years, France became his devoted caregiver, lovingly ensuring that he received the care, comfort, and attention he needed throughout his extended illness. Their special bond reflected the enduring strength of family and the unconditional love that sustains us through life’s most challenging seasons.

Moses was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Clara Marie Paige; his parents, Willie and Clara Davis; his five siblings, Mary Anthony, Daniel Davis, Elijah Davis, Elizabeth Edmonds, and Abraham Davis; and his stepdaughter, Lucille Paige-Kimble.

He leaves to cherish his memory his beloved niece and devoted caregiver, France Saunders (Vernon); his six stepchildren, Myrtle Braxton, Nancy Robinson, Annette Paige, Leola Paige, Janice Harmon, and Emmett Paige; his step-grandson, Kijuan Paige; cousins Tony Banks, Carl Williams, Deborah Blanks, Brenda Lamar and a host of extended family members and loved ones whose lives were touched by his presence.

Though Moses has completed his earthly journey, his memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His life reminds us of the dignity of hard work, the strength of family bonds, and the importance of caring for one another.

He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished.

May he rest in eternal peace.
