ore than just a hobby. He created many timeless pieces that family and friends will treasure for years to come. Beyond that, his mark has been left in the cabinetry, the trim, and the home that he extensively remodeled for his family. There was always a project to do, and when you find the time to custom create your own iceboat, you get to reap what you sow. Jeff loved the lake, and unlike most, he preferred it covered with ice so he could go sailing. As a child, he enjoyed collecting baseball cards, and continued that hobby in later years. A transplant from Wisconsin, he enjoyed traveling back to his home state to see family, and he was an avid Green Bay Packer and Milwaukee Brewer fan. Jeff loved playing football and baseball with his son, Braxton, and he treasured the time he spent with his family and friends. On Saturday, November 18, 2017, Jeff passed away in his home after a courageous battle with cancer. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Tina and son, Braxton of Emmetsburg; father, John Davis of Emmetsburg; brother, Jay Davis (Heather) and their sons, Jack and Carter of Everly, IA; mother and father-in-law, Jim and Helen Carrigan of Emmetsburg; brothers and sisters-in-law: Julie Carrigan of Des Moines, Pam Meyer (Mark) of Mallard, Scott Carrigan of Emmetsburg, Kenneth Carrigan (Pam) of Riverton, Utah, Don Lemley (Cari) of Tea, South Dakota, Kim Carrigan of Emmetsburg, Rhonda Grusecki (Rich) of Glendale, Arizona, Gary Carrigan of Emmetsburg, Jamie Swift (Andy) of Dell Rapids, South Dakota, and Jim Carrigan, Jr. of Emmetsburg; aunts and uncles: Barbara Bloedow (Bob), David Klemp (Mary Al) and Sue Hoehne-Bate (David Bate) all of Wisconsin.
