DUNEDIN, FL— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Dunedin, meet Eric Davis.

If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly, or thoughtful texts your way, you’re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting smiles on our faces — and this Father’s Day, we’re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Jayla Jones who nominated Eric Davis of Dunedin.

What makes your dad extra special?

My dad is special because he is my bonus dad! From day one of being a part of my family when he married my mom, he has pushed me to be the best version of myself in all that I do. He gets up every day and works hard to care for me, my mother, my sister, and everyone in our family. He's more than a dad — he's a father, a husband, a grandfather, and so much more! He's the absolute best!

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

Because all great dads need to be known! They bring hope to the world!

Happy Father’s Day to Eric Davis, and thank you for all you do!
