I type this with a tear in my eye.....

Gary was a wonderful person, so generous and kind, so willing to go out of his way for others. I met him through this board, and although I did not know him well, I considered him a friend and will miss his presence greatly.

Heaven just got a great person today and will be much better for it, RIP Gary 'Unlawfl' Davis.

BTW, donations are a very thoughtful thing, but I am also thinking of some additional tribute to such a great person... perhaps we can organize a Mopar procession for his send off, one last cruise-in for Gary or something along those lines.

The Mopar parade/cruise would be an awesome statement to be added at the end of what will surely be a huge police procession to the cemetary on the day of his funeral.

If that can't be organized, a mini-show ior fundraiser or something right there in his hometown supported by the Mopar community would be a helluva statement to the guy.

I'm in MO not MI so I don't know enough to organize anything.

This is sad, so very, very sad My son and I finally got to meet Gary in person at last year's Norwalk Chrysler Classic and what a genuine good person Gary was. We had exchanged some PM’s over the past years from everything from boxer dogs to Mopars of course. When my son and I were hanging out at the Moparts BBQ, Gary was who stayed and talked to us the entire time we were there. I went to take a photo of the Moparts banner and Gary Said “We need to get a photo of Christopher, you and your car and the Moparts banner” and proceeded to take a very nice photo of us. I will always cherish this photo and the little time spent with him. God Speed Gary

Here's to you Gary from Christopher and me and the photo through your eyes at Norwalk

Shocked and sad almost begins to describe how I feel. More accurately it feels like I've just been kicked in the stomach.

Gary was one of the finest individuals I have ever met, a friend and confidant and the loss runs deep. His name is on my resume as a personal reference, that is how strongly I felt about the man.

I live 15 minutes away from Gary's place.
Wish I had gone to visit more often

Thoughts and prayers go out to Nicki and his family.

Our DBA here at work lost his 21 year old daughter last night in a car accident.

What a horrible day.

Like alot of the people here I have never met Gary anywhere other than on the board but he always had somethig positive to say.
He will be missed here as well as in his family, commmunity (which he gave his life for).
May God watch over and help his family in this time of loss.

I too am typing with tears in my eyes. While I never met Gary, I really appreciated his sense of fairness and humor plus the levelheadedness that he brought to Moparts. For those of you who knew Gary personally, I am sure this is tearing you up.

I am so very sorry for the tragic loss of Unlawful not only for his family, friends and co-workers, but for the void that his death has created for all that is good in this world.

R.I.P., Gary.

I guess I'm supposed to say something but what do I say? The tears haven't stopped flowing since I got the call this morning that my friend OUR friend Gary is gone.

I keep listening to his voice messages and am having a hard time accepting that he won't call again.

My prayers to his dear wife Nikki who is such a sweetheart. It's no wonder the two of them found each other as loving people as they both are. God bless you and your family.

I'm so sorry.

It wasn't long ago that we were at Johns house. I made us all a big breakfast and Gary drove the RR and took me to the parts store then changed my plugs. It's always a habit to give my friends a hug and I'm glad I gave Gary one before I headed back to Indy. I just never knew it would be our last.

This is not happening...

Words can't decribe how I feel, lost and empty.

They say the good die young though I've never understood why, it surely must be true, as Gary was one of best not only on this board but in life.

God called home a special angle today, I pray that his family can get though this, I can only amagine the pain and lost in there hearts

When tomorrow starts without me

When tomorrow starts without me and Im not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all fiiled with tears for me
I wish so much you wouldnt cry the way you did today
While thinking of the many things we didnt get to say

I know how much you love me as much I love you
Each time that you think of me know I will miss you too
When tomorrow starts without me try to understand
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand

As I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye
For all life I always thought I didnt want to die
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving all of you

If I could relive yesterday if only for a while
I would say goodbye to all, maybe see you smile
But then I realized that this could never be
For my place in Heaven far above was waiting me

When I thought of worldly things I would might miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did, my heart was fiiled with sorrow
But as I walked though Heavens gate I felt so much at home
God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne

Rest in peace my friend
