Anthony Fitzgerald Davis was born February 2, 1970 to Lawrence Spiller, Jr. and Muzetta (Davis) Roberts. Our community has sadly lost a great soul Wednesday, December 16, 2020, when Anthony Davis favorably known as AD/Aye Dee passed away peacefully at his residence.

After proudly graduating from Linden-McKinley High School, Anthony then joined the United States Navy, where he served in the Gulf War. He moved back to his home roots in Columbus, where he resided in his childhood neighborhood. AD helped his community while working downtown for Faith Mission, where he poured his laughter on all those he interacted with. AD was the life of the party and created friendships, bonds, and relationships that were full of laughs, love, and great memories. He was a fan-attic, a fashion icon, and a wonderful father who was rooted in his family.

Anthony was preceded in death by his father, Lawrence Spiller, Jr.; grandmothers, Mildred Davis and Carrie Lyte; and brother, Christopher Davis.

Anthony leaves to cherish his memory, wife Natalie Davis; mother, Muzetta Sue Roberts; children, Amber Pankey, Morgan-Anthony (Keyvona) Davis, and Danielle (Chris) Pittman; siblings, Larry Davis, Theresa Davis, Paula Davis, Pamela (Ray) Scott, Aaron Spiller, and Dennis Spiller; and eight grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Visitation 1:00pm and Funeral 2:00pm Tuesday, December 29, 2020 at MARLAN J. GARY FUNERAL HOME, THE CHAPEL OF PEACE NORTH, 2500 Cleveland Ave.
