I will always remember Bubba for his cool, calm & laid back demeanor. He coached me for a few years in baseball & I will never forget those days. Bubba was always straight up & never got rattled. I know its probably a small thing but people that I have met in my lifetime that have that 'vibe' tend to listen more & deliver great feedback. For that, I am thankful to have met such a great man will love & miss him. To Michelle, I certainly to love ya & am sorry you lost your guy. Tiffani, Cole & Tye, y'all are & will always be considered family to me and I am so sorry that you lost Bubba. I will be praying for you all & am always here for you. -Caleb Davis

So sorry to hear of dear Bubba's passing. I enjoyed getting to know him while visiting Jill on Clear Springs Rd. (I believe it was) in Richardson. I know his loss is devastating for his family who loved him so, but know their faith brings comfort knowing he is with our Lord. Rest in peace.
