I often stop by your portrait at SIB and think about the type of Investigator you were (narc, highly-decorated, pistol champ) and how to better myself, in honor of your sacrifice. You have set the bar for all of us in that building. Not by how you died, but by how you lived. Rest easy, brother.

Your family has had to endure much for they are one of the law enforcement families who have suffered multiple line of duty deaths. I heard about the murder of your son and Deputy Oliver as I was attending an annual Parents Retreat of our nation's fallen officers. Your families were lifted up in prayer in Arkansas as we heard this terrible news, and our hearts were heavy with grief.

Now your son is again with you...the unbroken circle.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED SON'S OF GOD. (MATTHEW 5:9)

HOW TRAGIC FOR YOU TOO HAVE YOUR SON KILLED AND SHARE THE SAME EOW DATE 26 YEARS APART. I KNOW YOU MUST BE PROUD OF HIM, AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REUNITE, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND YOUR FAMILY HAS TO RELIVE THE EVENTS OF 26 YEARS AGO. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS. NO FAMILY SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE THIS ONCE, LET ALONE TWICE.

Dep. Davis Sr. and I had worked together with RCSD, Indio Station 1982-88. He was relentless, professional and frankly honest deputy I ever knew at that point in my 26 yr. career. He was missed by his co workers. Indeed a tragedy with a high price that was required of his family. We will all understand in the by and by. He paid forward with his life to serve us all. The Lord blesses those peace makers and their families. Words can not express from the rest of us the debt we owe this family and these peace officers. Forever remembered.

I didn't know either Davis Jr. or Davis Sr., but I did know and worked with Jim Mc Sweeney and Roy Chester. They were great guys and they both loved doing their jobs. Their deaths were tragic then and tragic now. Rest in peace Deputy Davis Jr. and may God bless your family.

Twenty Six years to the day, your son has joined you in Heaven. His sacrifice is only compounded by your tragic death. The only good to come of this is that now you are together again, though that really is not good. Neither of you should be there yet.

26 years ago, you gave your life in the war on drugs, trying to make that extra effort. You are a hero as are the men who died beside you, not because of your untimely deaths, but because you all fought the good fight.

God Bless and may you forever, Rest in Peace, Brother.

Seeing the sad news that Michael Davis Jr. was killed in the line of duty today, on the exact same day that his dad died in the line of duty, really struck a chord with me. Obviously Sr. left an impression on his son's heart so big that he followed in his footsteps and became a police officer, too. God Bless the family of these 2 brave men.

I remember the day when he on and the others died in this tragic helicopter crash. I was a police officer in the City of in El Centro, County of Imperial. Now today as a federal officer I learned of the death of his son who followed in his footsteps was killed exactly 26 years later to the day also in the line of duty. May Father and Son rest in peace as we will take it from here.

Tragedy has struck the Davis family once again....Placer County Deputy Michael David Davis Jr. was killed in the line of duty today, the 26th anniversary of his fathers line of duty death. Though those left behind will bear this cross, I pray that you two are together once again in Heaven. God Bless the Davis family.

How tragic and ironic that father and a son would die on the same day 26 years apart, both serving their communities. Prayers to the extended Davis family and their agencies. R.I.P. Brothers.

Mike. It's been awhile. You were a good man. I remember how glad I was one night that you happened to be at JFK Hospital when my DUI went wild, and you took him down.
