WOW.. that is great. I worked with Davey for a few years. I wont forget him, especially his laugh. We had some good times at the prison in Jackson.

Also a co-worker @ prison. Think of him every time I ride by his Chruch. He gave his life for our freedom on earth. God gave his life for our freedom of sin. I am so grateful.

are they going to come through Lamar Co. Please let the public know so we may pay our respects.

This is a true honor. I know renaming a road will never take the place of Davy, but this is a very fitting tribute to a true hero. I am very grateful for what he did for our country. God bless him and his family!

The ceremony will all take place at Lilla Church on 36 @ 10am. I don't think there will be a procession for this event.

hello. anyone want to answer #12 question
#17 Anonymous on 08/12/09 at 05:48 PM
A lot of us know the answer to the question without posting it on here. They family cant help it and its best to leave it alone.
#18 Anonymous on 08/13/09 at 04:27 PM
Its just a matter of time before someone starts posting stuff on here...if I were the family, I would request that all blogs about him be taken down.
#19 Anonymous on 08/13/09 at 06:02 PM
It is the same person. But, stuff like that seems to be forgiven at a time like this?
#20 Anonymous on 08/14/09 at 10:19 AM
I agree with you there

depends on what stuff you are talking about

Iserved with MSG Weaver as a fellow ETT in Zabul Province, Afghanistan. We were company mentors with fire bases near each other. He always had the best attitude and that southern hospitality! I am so glad that a section of highway is being named in his memory. The fine State of Georgia is doing this right. His family should be proud. He loved Nascar, training the Afghan Army(2/2/205 Corps)and having a good laugh. I, personally, miss my good friend. Billy Ray Reeves II.
