We created a GatheringUs memorial to celebrate the life of Daniel I Davis. Collecting your stories and memories here will offer us great comfort. As we plan virtual and in person gatherings, we will share details here. Thank you for contributing to this lasting memorial.

Our family is heartbroken by your loss and we’re keeping all of Daniel’s family in our hearts and prayers. You will be sorely missed Daniel.
With love,

Daniel, always had a smile on his face. He was positive, funny, encouraging, uplifting and always wanted to help others.

He was positive, funny, encouraging, uplifting and always wanted to help others. He was a great coach, an excellent husband and father and supportive friend, who had his priorities in order. His commitment to HJTEP and everyone involved, showed his passion for tennis. He loved his students and pushed them to be their best daily.
I remember when I started working at HJTEP, many years ago, Daniel and I would hit a couple times a week to get a good workout in on the court. I miss those days. He and Danielle traveled a lot, often to major tournament cities and I would get them tickets for the big matches. I will also miss the times when he and DJ would travel to tournaments and I would meet them when I could. We broke bread together, one Thanksgiving in Chicago and I will cherish that moment. I’ll miss him🙏🏽 less

For the entire 20 years I've known Daniel he's been the same. A wonderful, all around great guy. I've witnessed him evolve from a kind young man to a great coach to an adoring husband and, ultimately, to one of the best father's in the world.

I've witnessed him evolve from a kind young man to a great coach to an adoring husband and, ultimately, to one of the best father's in the world. I've always considered him as my brother. He was also a father figure to my kids. I love Daniel and I'm extremely proud of the man he became. He will be sorely missed but he leaves behind a legend that most people twice his age can never compare. less
