John Davis Obituary

I am a step cousin who has known John all his life. I and my Smith relatives always thought so highly of John. In recent years we have had dinner together when he visited Washington but I did not hear from him last year and I missed him. We mostly spoke of earlier days. I had no idea how involved he was in helping others. John was a real gentleman and a fine person. He leaves a void in our lives. My sympathy to you all.

John was my absolute hero, my idol at Harvey School. As a person more senior to me at school, he never hesitated to take the time to give me assistance or advice and I treasured all of it. I am so disappointed that I did not see him all these years. Michael Hard, Tucson, Arizona

I Knew Johnny Davis as a youngster, such a long time ago. We played ball together - Later I played against him in high school when he became a catcher. I can tell you that he caught some great ballplayers and was one himself. Always a gentlemen, he was devoted thoroughly to numbers of organizations putting himself last and others first. A great man!

I met John Davis on several occasions and my heart broke hearing of his loss. He was someone who if you met, you remembered. I'm thinking of the family during this time.

Karen and Ian, our love and prayers are with you. We are so sorry for the loss of your incredible dad. Love, Brad & Catherine Allan and boys

Ian, Karen & girls -
I was so sorry to hear of John's passing. What a generous, kind man and his spirit lives on through you and your girls. So glad you were able to be with him and let him know how truly loved he was. All the best. Trish

First and foremost what I cherished about John was his friendship. Being able to spend time with him the day before his passing was a gift I'll never forget. - Channing Proctor, Founder of the Charleston Miracle League

I will miss John's joy in living, his enthusiasm, passion and strong voice. He made me laugh and touched my heart.

John was truly an amazing person. He will be missed by the multitudes he has touched, including those he worked with at the Charleston Concert Association. We extend our thoughts and prayers to his beloved family.

Words cannot express our heartfelt sympathy for your family. We will miss John at the Miracle League Field. He was instrumental in what we have been able to do for our players and their families. His legacy will live on at Joe Griffith Field! Our thoughts and preayers are with you! Evelyn Turner, President Charleston Miracle League

So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and your beautiful family...

Ian, (a/k/a "Squeaky"), there are so many cherished moments of your Dad at Onteora, (impromptu softball games on the golf course, for one~~) and I was lucky enough to reconnect with him in Charleston a few years' back--I even got to see his fabulous art gallery on Queen Street. I am so sorry for your loss: he was so very proud of you and your family. John was a truly lovely man. With Love and Remembrance, Kathy (Nay) Clay

A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. Please accept our condolences. From my family and I.

A Gentleman and a Scholar - John will be well
remembered by his many friends.
Rest in Peace, John.
Bill and Nada Arnold

I was very sad to hear the news of John's passing. I met him through Rashida, John's neighbour in Vancouver. John kindly let me stay in his beautiful home for a month with my partner, Ian, whilst John was away on holiday. I met him only briefly but his kindness, generosity and sense of fun were striking and memorable. He'd left details of his dear friends for us to meet. He will be very sorely missed. Pattie

Sending our deepest sympathy to your family. May you be comforted to cope and endure this difficult time.

John was a wonderful man, and what a blessing to this community! He will be sadly missed. My thoughts are with the family, and with Rainey. Harriet McDougalMcDougal
