Prayers for fellow racer and friend Jerry Davis

chlngr73 · 09-01-2017, 10:24 AM

If everyone could please take a moment to say a prayer for Mr.Davis and his family. He has been our family friend, and my mentor since I started class racing, and it's very hard to imagine him in this state. This is a Facebook post from his son explaining what happened, and asking for prayers. Thank you, God bless.

"Thank you so much for the prayers and wish wells

We are safe a lot of things we're not but if I can tell you one thing about myself, material objects mean nothing and never have. They are just that objects and will be replaced.

I do have a big request though, my father the strongest and wisest man I have ever known collapsed yesterday from what is believed to be a seizure. He has been going through chemo and has missed this last week of treatment due to the devastation in Santa Fe, my hometown. He is in the hospital now in Galveston and is not the same man he was yesterday or the last 71 years of his life. He broke his arm and hit his head, and now knows no one around him and has the inability to even talk or understand what is happening. We and the Drs believe he may be in this state for the rest of his life, which is a bitter pill to swallow watching the man who could do everything. My superman!! strapped to a bed and unable to recognize his own family

I never ask but if there is a time to pray please do. I cannot see this man, this strong man in this state of unknown for one more second!

Thank you"

Prayers for Jerry and his family at this most difficult time. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through, but I know it would be hard to see someone you love in that condition.

Prayers are going out to you and your family.
