Prattville Police Corporal Dakota Davis, 25, was killed in a motorcycle crash in Autauga County, Alabama, just two and a half weeks after marrying his wife, Chloe Greiner-Davis. His family describes the wreck as a freak accident with no one to blame, and loved ones say motorcycles had been his passion since childhood.

His wife said she is still “waiting for him to walk through the doors,” while his father, Paul Davis, remembered him as “a man of few words, and he meant what he said.” His funeral is planned for Halloween, his favorite holiday, and a community fundraiser has already raised thousands of dollars to help his widow with mortgage and moving expenses.

For Suncoast listeners, the story is a reminder of how quickly life can turn, and of the importance of sharing the road with motorcycles.
