GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Former members of FOX 17 News crews, guests, friends, and loved ones turn out for Mike Davis' final day.
First up, former longtime FOX 17 Morning News anchor, Mike Avery!
Former anchor turned City of Walker public information extraordinaire, Nicole Didonato joined Walker Mayor Gary Carey to proclaim January 12 as Mike Davis Day in the City.
"Whereas it should be noted that Mike Davis has made an indelible mark on the West Michigan Community with his own unique style of humor and wit," Mayor Carey read. "I encourage all our citizens to join me in expressing gratitude for Mike's dedication, professionalism, and lasting impact on our community."
Sarah Broadhead and Jon Shaner fought back tears during the 8 a.m. broadcast to surprise Davis.
Instead of taking a bow, Mike Davis ended his 40-year career at FOX 17 with his iconic gag, throwing his hat to the ground before triumphantly strutting off set.
Davis, you're clear.
Thank you for everything. It has truly been an honor.
