Keith Davis Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Keith John Davis at his home on April 3, 2018 at the age of 63. He is survived by his son Max; brothers Peter, Mark and Alan; sister-in-law Cindy and former wives Robbie Davis and Jude Anderson.
Keith was a graduate of Yale University and the University of WA where he received a PhD in experimental nuclear physics. From there to his retirement at the Boeing Company, Keith worked on a variety of innovative research topics leading to the award of 17 U.S. patents and many patent applications.
A long time resident of the Wallingford neighborhood, Keith enjoyed daily coffee gatherings, trivia, Scrabble and music. Many adventures were shared with family and friends -- hiking on Vancouver Island's West Coast Trail, camping up at The Enchantments via Aasgard Pass, trips to Florida, Mexico and Hawaii and road trips to Moab in his R.V. with Max.
Keith was a friend to many and will be more than missed.

Keith was a wonderful man and housemate. I always will remember him when he first moved to Seattle to pursue his PhD at UW. We shared several hiking and skiing adventures over the years. Kieth always brightened up a room with his jovial manner and will be dearly missed.

The loss of Keith, way to soon, brings much sympathy to his family and the many friends I had the pleasure to meet and get to know over the past few years. I consider Keith my best friend, who brought so much to my life. He will be greatly missed. Much love....Sue
