Perry Jay Davis age 76 of Swords Creek, Virginia was surrounded by his loving family as he drew his last breath here on this earth on Friday, February 21. 2020 at Commonwealth assisted living home in Cedar Bluff, Virginia. He waited until his 56th wedding anniversary, so he could celebrate it with his wife Carol in heaven.

He wore many hats of trade, retired coal miner from Jewell Smokeless, EMS worker and ambulance driver, basically he was a jack of all trades. Perry was well known for his contagious smile and laughter, and his outgoing personality. He never met a stranger and was always willing to lend a helping hand. He was a proud member of the UMWA Local #2148 and was a lifetime member of the Richlands Rescue Squad and a lifetime resident of the area.
