Wallace T Davis Jr

Wallace “Wally” Thomas Davis, Jr., was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on December 13, 1946, and peacefully entered eternal rest on Friday, April 24, 2026, at the age of 79. Wally made his home in Ponchatoula, Louisiana.

He was the cherished son of the late Wallace Thomas Davis, Sr., and the late Shirley Mae Sandras. Loving brother to Glenn Davis Sr (Virgie) and Louis Davis (Deborah). Proud uncle to Glenn Davis, Jr. (Sondra), Jennifer Champagne (Kerry), and Brandon Davis (Alicia), and adoring grand-uncle to Felicity, Cameron, Payton, Brendan, and Allie. Wally is also survived by many dear friends who were like family to him. He was preceded in death by his nephew Connor Patrick Champagne and his niece Rhonda Marie Davis.

Wally proudly served as a police officer with both the Gretna and Jefferson Parish Police Departments for many years and continued serving his community in the police auxiliary force after retirement. He took great pride in his black Corvettes—enjoying more than one throughout his lifetime—and he was a 3rd-degree black belt in Karate.

His funeral services will be held on Friday, May 1, 2026, at Mothe Funeral Home, 2100 Westbank Expressway, Harvey, Louisiana. Visitation will be held from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., followed by a Memorial Mass at 1:30 p.m. Interment will immediately follow at Westlawn Memorial Park, 1225 Whitney Ave., Gretna, Louisiana.

The family would like to thank the staff of Marrero Health Care for their compassionate and loving care of Wally.
