October 4, 1927 – August 9, 2014

Don Davey from Westlake, California, beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend has passed away peacefully on August 9th, 2014. Wonderful loving husband to Sandy, loving father to Camille and Scott, stepson Mark, stepdaughter Karen, and grandfather to Alana, Erik, and Katrina.

Don started his distinguished career at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. He has served on the faculty of the Academy of Art in San Francisco and was instrumental in the formation of the Society of Illustrators for which he served as president. On invitation of the United States Air Force, he toured the Orient in return for his subsequent painting. This artwork went on a world tour and became part of the permanent collection of the United States Air Force documentary art program. An award winning artist with both gold and silver medals to his credit, Mr. Davey's technique, at once factual and impressionistic, has won him a following the world over.

Don was a generous, kind, and honorable man who will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered. There will be a private memorial service held for family members only. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Cancer Society may be made in his name.

Arrangements are under the direction of the Ted Mayr Funeral Home, 3150 Loma Vista Road, Ventura, CA. Condolences may be left at TedMayrFuneralHome.com.
