WFMY News 2 - Davis Fountain

he Natural Science Center's Animal Discovery features many attractions from the wallabies, gibbons, tigers and their newest addition the maned wolves. For one Piedmont family, the attraction holds something even more special, a lasting memory of their son.

The Davis Kelly Fountain of Youth and Discovery is dedicated to a Greensboro boy who had a love for the outdoors and nature.

"Sometimes i just come and sit in one of those chairs and just watch the children and watch the people come up and look at the statue and they don't even know who davis", says Karen Kelly, Davis' mother. "It brings me a little sense of peace if people can realize how precious life is"

In 2002, the Kelly's lost their son Davis to a crash on Interstate 85.

"After we lost our son 6 years ago the community and friends and family got together and we really wanted to create a place that was a memorial to him"

Davis played at a fountain like this one before the accident. His family envisioned a tribute to their son.
