I'm so sorry to hear of Silas' passing. I always think of him when I ride by the store. You guys are in our thoughts.

My fondest memory of Silas was on the first youth mission trip we both went on to help build a house for a needy woman in Kentucky. I will never forget the tears flowing down his face as Tim McCoy washed everyone's feet before we set out from our Kentucky base camp. We were all empowered by the Holy Spirit on that trip in a way that is unforgettable. Truly a "crystal moment in time" with Silas and Tim McCoy - Shared by Donnie Howell.
I first remember Silas from attending Independence Hill Church when we were growing up. Later in years, I got to know him better when he took over the store. I always looked forward to sitting down and talking to him if i needed something from the store, He will surely be missed. My prayers go out to Junie and his family.
Where do you start to talk about a friend that you have never not known? We were in first grade together and after a memorable school history, we graduated high school together. Once we had done all the after school things, we both ended up back in Huntersville. Marriage, children, lots of life experiences and still friends after 72-73 years of life. We shared children stories, recently grandchildren tales, plus I bought all my chicken feed, seeds and all the whatever’s from Davis General Store. He being my friend, would sell some of my food products, often, we just swapped it out. Where else in American can that be done, only Croft NC. As I reflect on all these years, there is a tear for the loss, a smile for a lifetime of great memories. What an honor to call him “My Friend”. Our paths will cross again and we’ll catch up where we left off. Soar higher than the buzzards we watched in flight training, from the porch of the “old store”.
We purchased our bird seed and many unique items at the Davis General store over the past 30 years. Mr. Davis was somewhat of an icon to our family and we'll always remember his dry sense of humor and seeing him ring up our purchases on his antique cash register. We always left his store with a smile on our face. Our deepest sympathy to his family...
