Ellettsville council offers condolences and funeral details for longtime firefighter Jim Davis

Ellettsville — Council members and town staff on Feb. 23 publicly extended condolences to the family of Jim Davis, a longtime firefighter and former town manager who died the night before the meeting.

An unnamed council member recalled Davis's decades of service to the department and the town, noting the municipal building is named for him and calling his legacy "unnoticed" only in how much it shaped the community. The police chief, who led the opening prayer, reiterated the council's condolences and provided funeral arrangements: visitation Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. and services at 1 p.m. Monday at Chandler Funeral Home, followed by a procession; the chief said additional details would be posted on the police department's Facebook page and the town website.

Council members and staff emphasized Davis's long tenure and leadership within the fire department and municipal government. The transcript does not list biographical details beyond his roles as firefighter, fire chief and town manager nor does it include family contact information.
