Dicky Davis

Our Pop, Dicky Davis, passed away peacefully on April 25, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and kindness that will not be forgotten.

A Funeral service will be held Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at Houston Funeral Home, at 2:00 PM with Bro. David Upshaw officiating. Visitation will be Monday night from 6PM-8Pm at Houston Funeral Home and will resume Tuesday, one hour prior to service. Houston Funeral Home is honored to serve the Davis family.

He was a devoted husband who loved his wife with every ounce of his being—a love that was evident in everything he did. He was also a proud and caring father to his two children, and his family continued to grow with four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, all of whom brought him immense joy.

Known for his daily jokes on Facebook, he had a special way of brightening people’s days. Friends and family looked forward to his humor, which reflected his warm spirit and ability to make others smile no matter the circumstances.

He had many friends and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. Whether big or small, he was always willing to step in and support those around him. In his quieter moments, he enjoyed simple pleasures—walking, spending time outdoors, and riding around in his truck.

He is survived by his wife, Betty Davis of Houston; his children, Tracy (Tim) Sullivan of Houston, MS and Jason (Wyndi) Davis of Vardaman, MS; his grandchildren, Caroline (Jerritt) Alford, Mary Kansas Sullivan, Mary Grace Davis and Reed Davis; and great-grandchildren, Rutt, Litty, and Laura Baker Alford.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Palmer and Ola Davis and one sister, Faye Davis Neal.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but his memory will live on through the laughter he shared, the kindness he gave, and the love he poured into his family and friends.

John Richard Callahan

John Richard Callahan, affectionately known as Killer or Uncle Rick, passed away on April 16, 2026, after a prolonged illness. Born on October 12, 1958, to Clyde Anderson Callahan, Jr. and Lou Ella Gore Callahan, Ricky was the sixth of seven children. His journey through life was marked by an unwavering individuality and a steadfast loyalty to those he held dear.

Ricky’s formative years were shaped in Houston Schools, where he received his education before answering the call to serve in the Mississippi National Guard. There, he proudly served alongside his father and brother Reggie, exemplifying dedication to both family and country. He was a member of Parkway Baptist Church.

Professionally, Ricky was widely respected for his exceptional skills in electrical work, a craft he honed over many years and for which he earned widespread recognition. In his later years, he embraced the life of a cattleman with passion and expertise. Known among his peers for his unique bond with each of his cows—each named and cared for with affection—Ricky’s love for his livestock was a testament to his character and gentle spirit.

Ricky was also a fervent supporter of the Ole Miss Rebels, passionately following the team and reflecting the spirited person he was throughout his life. His life was nothing short of an adventure, as from his early days through to his final breath, he lived true to his own rhythm, guided by his heart and fierce loyalty. Those who were privileged to know him always knew exactly where they stood with Ricky—his honesty and integrity were cornerstones of his relationships.

He was a loving son, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing him.

Ricky is survived by his son, John Richard Walker of Brandon, MS; his beloved grandchildren Caleb Walker of Auburn, AL, Kacey Walker of Huntsville, AL, Sophia White of Brandon, MS, and Crew Walker of Brandon, MS; his sisters Jane (Steve) Pearson and Ella (Sonny) Spencer, both of Houston, MS; his brothers David (Vicky) Callahan of Woodland, MS and Dale (Patsy) Callahan of Vardaman, MS; and a host of nieces and nephews who were cherished parts of his life.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clyde Anderson Callahan, Jr. and Lou Ella Gore Callahan; his sister Lynn Harmon; his brother Reggie Callahan; and nephews Patrick Pearson and Casey Harmon.

Family, friends, and all who knew Ricky are invited to honor his memory and celebrate his life through a visitation at Houston Funeral Home, located at 443 South Jackson Street, P.O. Box 689, Houston, MS 38851. The first visitation will be held on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The second visitation will be on Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, followed by the funeral service at 2:00 PM, with Dr. Randy Rinehart officiating. Interment will take place at Chickasaw Memorial Gardens, 1500 Mississippi 8, Houston, MS 38851, immediately after the service.

Pallbearers will include Ricky’s son, John Richard Walker, along with his nieces and nephews, who hold a special place in his legacy.

Houston Funeral Home is honored to serve the Callahan family during this time of profound loss.

John Richard Callahan’s life was truly unique, marked by a profound love, loyalty, and a remarkable spirit. He leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to have known him. His memory will remain lovingly cherished in the hearts of his family and friends forever.

Bobbie Jean Williams

With grateful hearts for a life well lived, we celebrate the life of a beloved matriarch, Bobbie Forrest Williams, who passed away at the age of 98 on March 8, 2026. She leaves behind a legacy that spans five generations. Her celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at Houston Funeral Home at 12:00 PM with Bro. Eddie Wiggs and Bro. Jerry Walls officiating. Visitation will be from 11:00 till time of service and burial at Memorial Gardens in Houston, MS.

She was born on February 17, 1928, in Calhoun County to Edward B. and Joyce Cole Forrest. She later moved to Houston with her husband, Jess, to begin a new chapter of life together. It was there that they helped build the foundation and legacy of Forrest Auto Parts, a place that became not only a family business but also a gathering place for friendships and community.

She was a devoted wife and a loving mother of two children, a proud grandmother of four grandchildren that called her "BobBob", a cherished great-grandmother of eight, and a great-great-grandmother to seven. Her family was her greatest joy, and "BobBob" took pride in being present for every stage of their lives.

In her earlier years, she never missed a single ballgame her grandchildren played. Whether it was hot summer evenings or cool fall nights, she was always there cheering them on from her chair, faithfully keeping score in her own little notebook.

She also loved her time working at the family parts store, where she greeted customers with conversation each day. One of her greatest joys was climbing into the little red truck and delivering parts to mechanic shops around town. Those simple drives and daily visits created friendships that lasted a lifetime.

Her coffee breaks were a treasured part of her routine for many years. From Pearson’s Drug Store to New Orleans Famous Fried Chicken, Moore’s Restaurant, and later Hardee’s, these stops became places where laughter was shared, stories were told, and lifelong friendships were formed.

Though her family will miss her dearly, they find comfort in knowing she is whole again and at peace. Her 98 years were filled with love, hard work, and laughter. She was the heart of a family that now stretches across five generations — a legacy that will continue because of the life she lived.

She is survived by her son, Larry Williams (Agnes), and daughter, Lynn Brasher; three grandchildren: Jim Brasher (Kelli), Kim Ferguson, and Kristi Gann (Shane); eight loving great-grandchildren: Vance Gann (Lauren), Mallory Gibson (Travis), Chase Ferguson (Brooklyn), Blaize Gann (Georgia), Shea Brasher, Jacob Brasher, Sam Brasher, and Mary Elizabeth Brasher; and six precious great-great-grandchildren: William Ridge and Lennon Gann, Addy and Emmy Gibson, Rowdy Gann, and Logan Ferguson.

She has been reunited with those who went before her. Waiting to greet her with smiles are her husband, Jess Williams; her parents, Edward B. And Joyce Cole Forrest, her grandson, Steven Brasher; her son-in-law, John Brasher; and her great-great-grandson, Axl Gann.

Pall bearers will be Shane Gann, Vance Gann, Blaize Gann, Chase Ferguson, Travis Gibson, and Jim Brasher

Honorary pall bearer will be her great-great grandson, William Ridge Gann.
