Davis Ozier became the fifth Allen-Lee Honors recipient on Sunday, October 15, 2017. Davis received this recognition for thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. Although thousands attempt a thru-hike each year, only about one in four makes it all the way. A thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail requires a strong body and a strong mind.
Davis began hiking the trail on March 18, 2017, at Georgia's Springer Mountain, the southernmost point of the trail. He was able to complete the trail in 120 days, reaching Mount Katahdin in Maine on July 15, 2017. Davis is a December 2016 graduate of Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology at Kennesaw State University. Hiking the trail provided life lessons about patience, endurance, and determination. It provided him with breathtaking views and up close encounters with wild animals and the best of humanity.
Davis attended the service on October 15, and he was accompanied by his grandparents Bill and Frances Lowery, his mother Julia Ozier, and his sister Lydia Ozier.
