Pastor Davis, who, at the time of his passing served as the Executive Secretary of NJC, also served the Seventh-day Adventist Church as District Pastor, Colporteur and Conference Director in a career spanning over twenty-two years of ministry in Jamaica and the Eastern Caribbean.
“We regret the passing of one of the most dedicated pastor and administrator in the Jamaica Union,” said Pastor Everett Brown, president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Jamaica. His selfless service and warm Christian disposition has endeared himself to both his colleagues and those he served. I believe that he sleeps in Jesus, therefore as we pray for his wife Charmaine and children, we hope that they will take comfort in the precious promise we have in Jesus of a glorious resurrection of the saints who are asleep in Him. He will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him”
Pastor Karl Archer, president of NJC who was among those at Davis’s bedside when he passed, expressed deep sadness of his (Davis) passing. himself has been deeply moved by the death.
“His passing comes as a great, great loss to the conference and his contributions will be missed. Given his hope in Christ, we are confident that we will meet him again if we remain faithful to the end,” said Archer
The Service of Thanksgiving for the life of the Pastor Omri Davis will be held on Sunday, March 11, 2018 at 11:00 am at the Seventh-day Adventist Conference Centre in Mount Salem, St. James.
He is survived by wife Charmaine and three sons: Theodore, Timothy and Charis.
