MACON, Ga. — Bibb County Sheriff David Davis announced on Wednesday he won the fight against cancer in a post on the Bibb County Sheriff Office's Facebook page.
13WMAZ talked with Davis in February when he first announced he was diagnosed with leukemia.
Davis said in February the cancer diagnosis was something he was going to overcome and be better for it.
One of the people cheering him on is Mayor Lester Miller. In a statement to 13WMAZ, the mayor said, "We are keeping Sheriff Davis and his family in our prayers and are thankful this was caught early and he's receiving expert treatment."
Sheriff David Davis has worked with the Bibb County Sheriff's Office for more than 40 years, serving a community he's called home his entire life.
"This badge is supposed to stand for honor and integrity and character," Davis said.
According to the sheriff's office website, during that time, he's served in many roles, from corrections to patrol, to investigations and special operations.
He first became sheriff in 2012 and has served in the position for three terms now. He most recently won reelection in 2020.
"I'm just looking forward to doing great things and continuing to work, and continuing the partnerships we have with this community," Davis said.
Congratulations Sheriff David Davis from 13WMAZ.
