John Davis, the 55-year-old creator behind the daily kitchen videos known as Coffee Time with John and Momma, died Wednesday, June 10, at his home in Jellico, Tennessee after a medical event that occurred during a livestream.
A Campbell County Sheriff's Office deputy responded to a report of a male who had stopped breathing at the residence and pronounced Davis dead at the scene, law enforcement records show. Davis’s channel had attracted a large following — 215,000 followers on Facebook and 8,000 YouTube subscribers — who tuned in regularly for his videos with his mother.
Social media posts from the Coffee Time accounts indicate the medical event happened during a June 10 livestream, but the specific nature of that event has not been disclosed. The last publicly available livestream from the pair was June 9, when John and Frances Davis filmed together and prepared a tomato parm dish with ranch dressing for dinner.
Notably, the June 10 livestream referenced in social posts no longer appears on Coffee Time’s social pages. The removal has left a gap between the timeline of the reported medical emergency and the publicly accessible record of the broadcast that followers watched or cited after the incident.
Frances Davis, who had appeared alongside her son in their routine kitchen videos and was present in the June 9 livestream, has not issued a public statement through the Coffee Time channels. The accounts remain the primary place where Davis’s audience—hundreds of thousands on Facebook and thousands on YouTube—had gathered each day to watch the family's videos.
The immediate consequence for that audience is practical as well as emotional: a daily stream that once posted recipes and conversation is now without its central host. The size of the audience underscores how quickly a local death during a streamed moment can ripple outward; the numbers show why the removal of the June 10 video raises questions about what exactly viewers saw in real time and what was later taken down.
The single, consequential unanswered fact is medical: the reports and the scene response confirm a medical event and a death, but they do not specify what kind of medical event occurred. No coroner's finding, autopsy result, or additional investigation outcome has been released to identify the cause of death or to explain the contents and status of the June 10 livestream.
Local authorities handled the on-scene response and the pronouncement, and the Coffee Time channels provided the timeline tying the event to a livestream. Beyond those converging points, the documentary record is incomplete: the June 10 stream is gone from the social pages, and no further official statement has been issued that fills the factual gap about the medical event itself.
The next step for anyone seeking clarity is a formal release from the county medical examiner or a statement from local law enforcement or the family. A coroner’s report or other official documentation will be the source that can confirm the specific medical cause and reconcile what was posted to social feeds with what remains available online.
