One of the oldest and largest funeral homes in the state of Georgia, Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors began in 1882 when John H. Fox opened an undertaking establishment at 106 West Liberty Street, in what is now the Downtown Historic District. Weeks, moved their business to 112 West Liberty Street. They remained at that location for the next fifty-six years. The firm, having outgrown the facilities on Liberty Street, moved in 1953 to the Kayton-Grainger-Huger House at 700 Drayton Street. This beautiful brick and terra cotta structure, facing Forsyth Park, was built between 1887 and 1888 by the Lewis Kayton family. Elmo Weeks and his two sons, S. Elmo Weeks and Will D. Weeks, son and grandsons of the founder, purchased the property in 1953. In 1984 plans were begun to open a second location on the Southside of Savannah to accommodate the many people who had begun to migrate to that side of town. Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Hodgson Chapel, located at 7200 Hodgson Memorial Drive opened in 1986. In 1987 the Weeks family made the decision to sell their business to The Sentinel Group, a national funeral service acquisition company. That same year S. Weeks, Sr., the two brothers who had guided Fox & Weeks for the past forty years and brought it to the place of prominence and respect it holds within the industry today, retired. Elmo’s twin sons, Jim and Steve Weeks remained to manage the Savannah operations. In 1991, the Sentinel Group sold Fox & Weeks to Service Corporation International. Jim and Steve Weeks held various management positions with SCI and in February 1998, they opened Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors, Islands Chapel on Whitemarsh Island. In 2004 Jim and Steve decided to purchase their family’s business back from Service Corporation International. Since that time, Steve’s son, Scott Weeks and Jim’s son, Matt Weeks have joined the family business as the fifth generation of the weeks family to serve the people of Savannah. Their grandfather, S. Elmo Week, Sr., is still active in the business.

Fox & Weeks is privileged to serve the family and loved ones of Randall Eugene Davis, Sr., 59, who peacefully passed away at home on February 16, 2026, after a long but valiant fight against kidney disease. A lifelong Savannahian and proud resident of Wilmington Island, Randy was steadfast in his love for his family, his friends, and fresh produce. He was a man known for his unmistakable laugh, tireless work ethic, generous spirit, and unforgettable antics, many of which involved a banana suit.

The heart of Randy’s life was his beloved wife of 35 years, Sherry, his high school sweetheart and partner in every sense of the word. The pride and joy of his life were his two sons, Randy, Jr. and Riley. Every decision he made and every hour he worked was rooted in his devotion to them. He was wholly dedicated to his family, always putting them first and making sure they knew how deeply they were loved.

In 1994, Randy and Sherry opened Davis Produce on Highway 80 in Savannah, Georgia. What began as a simple table on a street corner grew, through determination, faith, grit, and the very best fruits and vegetables in the South, into the Wilmington Island staple it is today. Known as the “Home of the Killer Tomato,” Davis Produce became more than a fruit stand; it became a place where joys were celebrated, burdens were lightened, and everyone who walked through the door felt like family. Customers came for the freshest produce and the best boiled peanuts around, but they stayed for Randy and Sherry’s warmth, generous spirit and welcoming smiles. For 31 years, Randy and Sherry poured their hearts into their business, and the community poured its love right back into them.
