Benjamin "Ben" Foster Davis was a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend.  On December 5, 2024, at the age of 29, he was tragically taken from us in an automobile accident, but his generous, fun-loving spirit lives on through the many lives he touched. He was a lifelong Apex resident who never met a stranger. He loved his family and friends deeply and was always there for any of them. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, sports, and anything with an engine. He owned his own business building and modifying custom cars, hot rods, race cars, repairing construction equipment, or anything else his customers needed.

Ben had a passion for cars, racing, and always helping others. He watched countless hours of YouTube videos on many topics, including WWII, airplanes, motorcycles, boating, racing, and much more. Ben retained everything he heard or saw and wanted to share his knowledge with anyone who would listen.

Ben could fix anything with an engine. He had a brilliant mind for tuning drag cars, building hot rods, and custom cars. He opened his own business with BDE Racing Solutions and worked so hard doing what he loved. He was in his element being at the racetrack helping his friends who raced. He raced some himself as well, but truly enjoyed working on cars and being a part of the team. Being at the racetrack with his friends was definitely his “Happy Place”.

Ben had a BIG grin, contagious laugh, and mischievous soul. Ben’s quirky sense of humor kept us all laughing. His sweet smile will be missed by everyone who knew him. To continue his legacy, we have created the "Ben Davis Memorial Scholarship" at Wake Technical Community College to help students complete an education in automotive and diesel repair to keep our hobby and passion for cars alive and strong for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers and support.
