The DeKalb County School District’s bus maintenance facility was named Monday for a mechanic who collapsed and died at a school board meeting in June.

The school board voted unanimously to name the facility, which is next door to district headquarters at 1701 Stone Mountain Industrial Blvd., the Gregory K. Davis Fleet Service Center.

“He knew he stood for a lot,” said Teaonne Davis, 28, one of his three daughters. “I’m glad he was recognized.” She said he died of an aortic vein rupture.
