Vincent Mark Davis
Vincent Mark Davis, 46, went home to be with the Lord on April, 1, 2014.
He was born on August 29, 1967 and was a life-long resident of the city of Akron. He was a 1985 graduate of Garfield High School and later attended the University of Akron for a career in Accounting.
Vincent was a temporary employee of the Postal Service for some time and later transitioned into a sales position. He left those occupations to follow his true passion for football.
