With heavy hearts, we mourn the passing of our beloved VUU Panther, William Davis — a proud alumnus and former member of the Virginia Union University football family.
Will wore the Maroon & Steel with honor, heart, and dedication. He was more than a player — he was a leader, a Panther, and a light that touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.
To his family, loved ones, teammates, coaches and all whose lives he graced along his journey — please know that the entire Panther Nation stands with you in this moment of grief. May you feel the warmth of our love and the strength of our community surrounding you.
Rest easy, #0. Your legacy lives on in every heart you touched. 🙏🏾
“Once a Panther, Always a Panther.”
All hearts, minds, thoughts, and prayers to the Davis family and all who called him friend
