Harvey Lee Davis

Harvey Lee Davis, affectionately known as “Nipper,” was born on October 17, 1956, in Chicago, Illinois, to the late Jack Davis and Jacqueline Davis.  Nipper peacefully passed away, on July 22, 2025 leaving behind a legacy of laughter, kindness, and resilience.

Nipper was preceded in death by his father Jack, his mother Jacqueline, his brother Kenneth W. Davis, and his brother Almondo Zizzo.

He is survived by his cherished daughter, Melissa Deann (Glenn) Brown; his loving sister, Cindy Loveless of Newburgh, Indiana; his brothers Sandy (Donna) Conte of Chicago, Illinois, and Jimmy (Judi) Conte of Wisconsin. His aunt Alice Greenwood of Marion,KY.

His treasured grandchildren include Mitchell (Adeana) Quertermous of Marion, Dalton Quertermous of Benton, Cristin Anderson of Bowling Green, Kassidy Kirk of Bowling Green, Laken Brown of Paducah, SkyLynn Brown of Burna, and WillaBeth Brown of Burna.

He also leaves behind his devoted nieces, Sheree Bridges and Lashea (Kent) Schmitt of Newburgh, Indiana;  Gina Zizzo from Wisconsin . Nephews Tristan (Ally) Thompson of Simthlland, Kentucky;  Kenny Davis Jr. of Salem, Kentucky; Tony (Crystal) Jennings of Smithland, Kentucky. He is also survived by a host of great-grandchildren and great-nieces and nephews, and cousins all of whom he adored.

Any friend Nipper had quickly was considered extended family,. He never met a stranger and left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.

By his side through it all was his faithful companion, his beloved dog Paco.

Nipper was well known for his quick wit and love for “cutting up” with friends. He had a passion for the open road and could often be found riding his Harley with a smile on his face. As the proud owner of Davis Transport, he formed lasting bonds with truckers across the country, always willing to lend a helping hand to those passing through—often with Paco riding shotgun. 

Harvey faced every challenge with a positive spirit and unwavering strength. He was always happy, full of life, and fought hard until the very end.

He will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Funeral services are scheduled for 1 PM Friday, July 25, 2025 at Myers Funeral Home with visitation beginning at 11 AM and continuing until service time. Burial will follow in Saint William Cemetery.
