Patrice Davis and members of Mr. Davis’ family will be on hand to assist in the dedication of a bench with a plaque honoring Davis on the courthouse portico.

The bench was donated by the staff of the Augusta County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office.

Davis passed away in January as a result of complications from surgery. He was 69.
