In Memory of Ezekiel Davis
/Ezekiel Davis was a young man of many talents and passions. He loved playing chess, soccer, and tennis.
It was as a tennis player that we first met “Zek.” Having lost his grandmother to pancreatic cancer, he first came out to support the Mary Diaz & William Copeland Jr. Memorial tennis tournament in 2014 when he was just 15 years old.
Immediately, he won us over with his quick smile, his subtle charm and his willingness to partner up and play in whatever division we needed him most. In fact, his spirit was so generous, the first year he participated in the tournament he was awarded the Sportsmanship Award.
We are grateful to Zek and will always remember and admire his commitment to helping create hope for those affected by pancreatic cancer. In July of 2024 we plan to celebrate Ezekiel's life at our 18th annual memorial tennis tournament and rename our sportsmanship award "The Ezekiel Davis Sportsmanship Award" in his honor.
