Charles "Eddie" Davis Jr.'s Obituary
In Loving Memory
Charles Edward Davis Jr. ("Eddie")
Charles Edward Davis Jr., lovingly known as “Eddie,” of Huntersville, passed away peacefully with the dignity and grace that marked his life on June 30, 2025. A man whose presence radiated warmth and whose heart overflowed with devotion, Eddie lived each day in service to others—with joy, humility, and unwavering love.
He was born in Mecklenburg County on April 25, 1935.
Survivors include his step-son, Grady Mullis, Jr. (Sylvia); step-daughter, Ellen Roberts (Chris); siblings, Anne McGraw, Joey Fortner, Buddy Davis and Jerry Davis; grandchildren, Alicia and Maggie and great-grandchildren, Jesse, Leena, Ruby and Ari.
His beloved wife, Betty, was his heart’s companion and closest friend; their love story was rooted in faith, laughter, and shared purpose. Her passing in September 2015 left a space only filled by memory, yet Eddie honored her each day in the way he cared for others and carried forward the legacy they built together.
Eddie’s journey was one of steadfast commitment—from his days on the farm to his proud military service, and most memorably, in the quiet and powerful way he loved his family and embraced his community. His stories sparked joy, his smile lit up a room, and his steady presence made every gathering feel like home.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Cadence of Huntersville for their loving care and to Carolina Caring Palliative Care for their compassionate support. Deep appreciation is also given to Independence Hill Baptist Church for their strength, prayers, and abiding support throughout Eddie’s journey.
A celebration of Eddie’s life will be held at Independence Hill Baptist Church. (in the chapel) The family will greet friends and loved ones at 10 AM Wednesday, July 2. The funeral will follow at 11 AM. Following the service, burial will follow in the church cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Independence Hill Baptist Church, a place of faith and fellowship dear to Eddie’s heart.
James Funeral Home of Huntersville is serving the Davis family.
