Joshua Aaron Davis' Obituary
Joshua "Josh" Aaron Davis, 46, of Unionville, MO passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully on Friday, May 30, 2025. Josh was born on August 28th, 1978 in Unionville, MO the son of Richard and Sandi Davis. Josh graduated from Unionville High School and began his lifelong journey as a volunteer fire fighter for 29 years. Josh was united in marriage on September 28th, 2023 to Katie Laws. Throughout Josh's short life he always enjoyed driving fast. His best friend was his dad, Richard and they did everything together including hunting and fishing. Katie was amazed at Josh's selective hearing specific to the scanner. Josh had trouble hearing his family in the room but could hear every word coming through the scanner as a fireman, even if the TV was blaring. Josh's shortened time on this earth will be cherished.
