A TRIBUTE TO THE LEG
I first met Bill Davis in 2007, and what began as a working relationship quickly grew into a friendship that shaped both my life and career. When I started my own company in 2009, Bill became the mentor I could never have afforded, offering his wisdom freely. He had a way of guiding me through challenges by simply asking, “What is your plan?” and then letting me talk it through. He never told me what to do, he just helped me discover the right path on my own. One of my favorite memories is from 2014, when Blaine and I broke down in Kentucky on the way from Georgia to Kansas. Without hesitation, Bill sent a driver in the middle of the night with Gail’s Escalade so we could keep going. That was Bill, always solving problems, never letting anyone see him sweat the details, and always willing to help. Bill embodied a never-fail attitude. He worked harder than anyone he led, with humility that made his extraordinary success in NASCAR, trucking, and ranching even more remarkable. He should be remembered as a model for all dreamers, funny, loving, hardworking, and generous. I admired him like a best friend, brother, father, and mentor. - Wade Fisher
From the first moment I had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Bill, it was easy to realize he was Wise, Generous, and Courageous! From that point forward, he became one of the dearest friends I have ever known. Not just for cattle but for anything in life. I was looking at buying a new house, I called and said what do you think. He said “honestly, I love it.” He always added humor to any conversation or situation. My entire family is better today because we had a dear friend Bill Davis! I would ride with you without anything to eat or drink 1,000 times more if I could! - Nic Cornelison
