South Carolina authorities have identified the two 23-year-old victims of a fatal boating crash that occurred on Lake Greenwood in Laurens County on July 6.

The Laurens County Coroner’s Office identified the two deceased victims as Thomas Chandler Davis and Abby Katherine Davis, a young couple who attended Clemson University together, as FOX Carolina first reported.

“On June 6, officers and investigators responded to a boating collision on Lake Greenwood involving two vessels. According to initial reports, an Alumacraft boat carrying five individuals was struck from behind by a Yamaha boat with two individuals onboard,” the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources said in a July 6 statement.

The SCDNR added that two of the individuals aboard the Alumacraft boat died in the crash and two others were transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for their injuries.

“Abby’s adventurous spirit led her to travel, always eager to explore new places and cultures, often accompanied by her cherished friends. Known for her easy-going nature and warm personality, Abby never met a stranger. Her love for animals, especially her beloved dog, ‘Motley,’ was evident to all who knew her, and she found great joy in their companionship,” her obituary states.

Thomas Davis was also a recent Clemson graduate, where he studied civil engineering.

“Chandler was a fitness enthusiast who loved going to the gym. He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and boating on the lake. Chandler also loved the thrill of riding SxS and cherished every moment spent with his family and friends, creating memories that will be treasured forever,” his obituary reads. 

Both Abby and Thomas Davis were born in Greenwood, South Carolina, according to their obituaries.
