Tyler Francis Davis

Tyler Francis Davis, 32, of Battle Creek entered into the afterlife of which he sang on May 21, 2021. He lived his life an adventurous free-thinker who walked off worry, embracing each day as a gift to be experienced. For Tyler, life was a journey to be enjoyed and he trusted the process that led him.

He graduated from Lakeview High School and earned his Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from Western Michigan University.
