TYLER S. “TY” DAVIS
ROCHESTER-Tyler S. “Ty” Davis, 19, of Rochester, and a student at St. Bonaventure University in Allegany, passed away unexpectedly Sunday (Nov. 24, 2013) in Allegany.
Born in Rochester on July 14, 1994, he was the son of Stephen and Lynn Watt Davis.
Ty attended St. John Evangelist School, the Sienna Catholic Academy and graduated from Bishop Kearney High School in Rochester and presently he was a sophomore at St. Bonaventure University, majoring in history education.
An avid sportsman, Ty was a member of the varsity baseball team at Bishop Kearney High School and for 12 years he played for the Eastside Little League in Rochester. He was a devoted fan of the N.Y. Yankees and Cincinnati Reds baseball teams as well as the St. Louis Rams football; and while attending St. Bonaventure University he enjoyed being a spectator at their basketball games.
He especially liked to fish and hunt and enjoyed spending time with his family hunting at hunting camps in Whitesville and West Union. Ty also collected comic books and loved to read and write and once aspired to become a writer.
He will be remembered most of all for being a very polite, kind and understanding young man who was also very compassionate and showed his compassion to others in many different ways. Ty was a very loving son, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend who had a wonderful sense of humor and was always willing to share a joke. He was dearly loved by everyone he met and will be sadly missed.
His loving family includes his mother Lynn of Rochester; his father, Stephen of Grove City, Pa.; his maternal grandparents, John and Anne Watt of Hornell; his paternal grandparents, Leo and Doris Davis of Hornell; his aunts and uncles, David and Nancy Watt of North Hornell, Michael and Melissa Watt of Mooresville, N.C., James Davis of Cedar Park, Tx., David Davis of Rochester, Laura Davis of Henrietta, Robert Davis of Grove City, Pa., Kathryn and Michael Pavloff of Missouri and Dorie and Michael Landreth of Avoca; also his many cousins and his loving girlfriend, Kathleen Bateman
He was predeceased by his great-grandmother, Doris Moncofsky; his uncle Harold Davis as well as several special great aunts and uncles.
Calling hours are from 4-8 p.m. Friday at the Bishop & Johnson Funeral Home, Inc., 285 Main St., Hornell. Relatives and friends are invited to meet his family at St. Ann’s Church in Hornell where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Saturday. Interment will be in Holy Trinity Cemetery in Webster.

I am so very sorry for your terrific loss. I remember fondly Tyler from 8th grade at Sienna Catholic. I enjoyed Tyler’s quick wit and humor; he was an asset to have in class with much potential ahead of him. My prayers certainly go out to all.
To the Family of Ty,
I don’t know you, but I too have a son at St Bonaventure. I just want you to know my prayers are with you and your family in the loss of your son, Ty. There are no words that I can say to help comfort you, but just know that he was loved by all. “Once a Bonnie, Always a Bonnie”! Rest in Peace Ty!
Ty was the nephew of my Irish brother Dave Watt. I am sincerely sorry for your families loss Dave. My prayers for Ty and the rest of your family as you grieve and learn to cope. God Bless.
Dearest Lynn, From the depths of my heart, I am so very sorry for the passing of your beloved son, Ty….My support, care and compassion for you is without end at this time; my sister, Laura and I went to Bonas and I lived in the same dorm as Ty; He will forever be remembered there and his legacy will thrive for eternity; I want to reach out and hug you and never let go; I wish for your inner peace and that smile and laugh that is your essence…I will never forget these few days and what you must have endured and my being has been changed as a result. I will always be here for you….your son is a beautiful young man and I’m sure you will be forever proud of him. Love to you and your family, Lynn
I will miss Tyler terribly he was hilarious and a true friend. I will miss telling him about my church misfortunes and him trying not to laugh. I will never forget the time in sophomore year at Bishop Kearney high school when I walked into biology class and I said “hey Tyler” and as soon as I opened my mouth he threw a piece a paper in it. We laughed and laughed about that. Though you are gone Tyler my random issues in life will forever continue. Rest in Peace my friend. May God direct your soul and keep your family in perfect peace.
To Tyler Davis Family: I read of your loss and would like to extend my deepest sympathy. Last month I lost two members of my family, unexpectedly, and I understand the grief and sorrow that you and your family are feeling at this time. During this very difficult time I would like to share with you a hope promised in the Bible, the hope of the resurrection. Jesus stated at John 5:28,29 “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his[Jesus]voice and come out.” And at Revelation 21:3,4 it states that there will be a time when “death is no more.” These Scriptures gives us hope for the future as respects to our dead loved ones. They have brought comfort to me and my family and I hope it does the same for your family. May I assure you, I am not trying to change your religion. The pain of loss is felt, regardless of religion. Sorry for your loss.
my dear Lynn and to the whole Watt family: I am so saddened to hear about your son….my heart broke when I heard he was missing…and now your loss. I can fathom what you are going through but know that Jesus is holding you all in the palm of his hands…and he too has tears with you all…but know that he is in a wonderful place and looking down. May the memories sustain you and after the sadness..may those memories bring a smile to your face, when you need it the most. In my heart… I can’t make the calling hours today because of work, but I plan to attend your son’s funeral… Hugs to your whole family……..Love from Kim Clifford Wood and family
