October 16, 1983 – February 28, 2026
With heavy hearts, we celebrate the life of Johnny Angelo-Devon Davis, affectionately known as “Fu.” Johnny was born on October 16, 1983, to Johnny Davis, lovingly known as “Big Johnny,” and Patricia “Pat” Welcome-Davis. From the moment he entered this world, he carried a vibrant spirit that would leave a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Johnny attended schools in the Atlanta Public Schools system and was a proud graduate of D. M. Therrell High School, Class of 2003. He was also a proud resident of the Adamsville, Flatlands, and Campbellton Road communities, where he built lifelong friendships and was known throughout the neighborhood. Among friends and those who knew him well, he was sometimes playfully referred to as “Fu the Black Jew,” a nickname that reflected his unique personality and unforgettable presence.
Fu had an infectious smile that could light up any room he walked into. His personality was magnetic if you didn’t like him at first, it wouldn’t take long before his charm won you over and you found yourself calling him a friend. Johnny truly never met a stranger and had a natural way of connecting with people everywhere he went.
Johnny lived boldly and unapologetically. This world often felt too small for the dreams he carried, because he believed he was meant for something greater than the world could imagine. He was truly a man about town, known for his love of high fashion, fast cars, and living life on his own terms.
Johnny shared a special bond with his father, “Big Johnny,” and in many ways was a mirror of him, carrying his confidence, charisma, and presence wherever he went.
Above all else, Johnny loved his family. His two daughters, Jalia and Raven Davis, were the love of his life, and he cherished every moment he shared with them. Johnny also had a deep and unwavering love for his mother, Patricia “Pat” WelcomeDavis, loving her more than anyone could ever imagine.
Fu embraced life fully with confidence, style, and a spirit that could not be contained. He lived his life his way and without regrets, leaving behind memories filled with laughter, charm, and unforgettable moments.
Though his journey here was cut short, Johnny’s spirit, energy, and unforgettable smile will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Johnny Davis Jr. was deeply devoted to his family and those he loved. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Patricia “Pat” Welcome-Davis, his grandmothers Lucy Welcome and Annie Davis, and his grandfather William Redd Pickett Jr.
He leaves to cherish his memory his devoted father, Johnny Davis; the mother of his daughters, Tracy Williams; and his two beloved children, Jalia Davis and Raven Davis, who were the light of his life.
Johnny is also survived by his aunts, Lorna Welcome, Brenda Welcome, Bertha Davis, Caroline Davis, and Kamoltip Ahn Singleton; his uncles, Tholen Edwards and Ben Singleton; and his great-aunt, Linda Harriot-Gathright (James).
His memory will also be cherished by his cousins Nicole Davis, Rodney Hill Jr., Tyler Reid, Jevon Edwards, Eric Edwards, William Welcome, and Josh Welcome, a dear friend Angela Stanton King, along with a host of extended family members and other friends who loved him dearly.
The family would also like to extend a special thanks to Future, Trey, and George for their love, support, and kindness during this difficult time.

Postlude
Fu marched to the beat of his own drum not quiet, not ordinary, but the kind that made people turn their heads and smile before they even knew why. He was larger than life.
From Campbellton Road to Flatlands, everybody knew when Fu came around.
Fresh fit, clean shoes, and that smile that let you know he was about to say something funny.
Fu had a way about him.
He could walk into a room full of strangers and walk out with a room full of friends. If you didn’t like him at first… give it a minute. Because before the conversation ended you’d probably be laughing and calling him your homeboy.
Fu lived life his way no apologies, no regrets. He believed he was meant for something big, and if you asked him about it he’d tell you himself.
According to Fu, he was the biggest.
Number one in the world.
Not just on Campbellton Road. Not just in Atlanta.
The world.
And the way he said it with that grin, that confidence, that little lean forward you almost believed it too.
Fu was a natural finesser, smooth with the words, smooth with the style, the kind of person who could turn a quick conversation into a whole moment you wouldn’t forget.
He loved to laugh, loved to joke, and loved reminding people he was living life exactly the way he wanted.
And if you listen close through the memories, through the laughter and the stories, you can almost hear him checking in on you one more time with that smile and that voice saying: We having all the fun, while you suckers ain’t having none!
“Ya digg?”
The Biggest is now our Angel!
