“We missed a big one this time!!!” Frazier mentioned. “RIP TO @vontaedavis man nothing but good memories of that guy at school!!”

Davis’ childhood friend, Bobby’s Mazealso confirmed Vontae’s death with an emotional Facebook post… saying Vontae was in good shape and will be greatly missed.

“Life will never be the same without my brother,” Maze said. “Those FaceTime calls and lots of other noises, I want us to have another conversation.”

“You beat the percentages, you did it. You probably did this from your method. It just wasn’t supposed to end like this.”

Davis began his football career at Dunbar High School in Washington D.C. and was ranked as the 33rd cornerback recruit in the country.

He abruptly retired in the middle of a payout game in 2018.
