For over a century, OT Davis Monuments has been crafting lasting memorials that honor lives, history, and community. Based in Gainesville, Florida, this family-owned business is dedicated to precision, craftsmanship, and the art of storytelling through stone.
Their work speaks for itself. From intricate headstones to large-scale memorials, each piece is a testament to their commitment to quality and detail. Their latest achievement? A 1,000-square-foot custom-engraved memorial wall, celebrating generations of students at Lincoln Middle School.
A monumental undertaking, the Lincoln Middle School project required:
• 49,822 lbs of granite (India Red and Jet Black, all polished).
• 2,869 names inscribed in red granite. Honoring classes from 1925–1970.
• 31 panels, 9 top caps, and 3 end cap pieces.
• A stunning 40ft x 20ft memorial wall.
Positioned at the heart of the school’s bus loop, this project ensures that the history of Lincoln Middle School is permanently etched in stone. More than just a memorial, it’s a tribute to education, legacy, and the lives that shaped the community.
For a project of this scale, precision was key. That’s where U-Blast came in. OT Davis Monuments relied on U-Blast stencils for their flawless execution.
✔ Easy to work with: Stencils that handle high PSI without shifting.
✔ Large format printing: Essential for large-scale inscriptions.
✔ Precision material rolls: Uniform thickness for consistent results.
✔ Exceptional customer service: Support every step of the way.
✔ U-Blast merch love: “We wear our U-Blast hats every day—even on the news!”
At OT Davis Monuments, every project is more than stone. It’s a story, a tribute, a piece of history. Their work at Lincoln Middle School is a testament to their dedication to preserving memories for generations to come.
