Jason Davis

Jason Stuart Davis, 53, passed away on July 17, 2025, in Walnut Creek, California. Born on July 2, 1972, in Concord, California, Jason lived a life rich with creativity, passion, and unwavering devotion to his family, friends, and community.

Jason is lovingly remembered by his wife of 25 years, Lisa, and their two children, Aidan and Finn. He also leaves behind his father Doug; his brother Matt and sister-in-law Becky; and his cherished niece Willow, who brought him immense joy and was a beacon of light in his life. He now joins his beloved mother and grandfather in eternal rest.

From an early age, Jason's artistic spirit shone brightly. He attended and graduated from Mt.Diablo High School in Concord, where he played the trumpet, and became a top tier drum major. After graduation, he performed with the Blue Devils Winterguard, pursuing a lifelong passion for performance and pageantry.

His dedication to these activities extended well beyond his performing years and was far reaching-he later served as a staff member for the Mt.Diablo Red Devil Band & Winterguard, Glenbrook Middle School, Glenbrook Independent, Legato, and Amador Valley High School, as well as the Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps, and the San Jose Raiders Winterguard. His contributions over the years helped to shape a generation of performers with the same enthusiasm and precision that defined his own time on the floor.

Jason attended Diablo Valley College, and later graduated from Cal State East Bay (Hayward). Following graduation, he began teaching at Glenbrook Middle School, later moving on to the Seven Hills School in Walnut Creek, California, where he spent nearly 18 years guiding students in the performing arts, including his own children, Aidan and Finn.

Jason was not only a musician and performer but also an author, scholar, and artist across multiple genres. His creativity knew no bounds-whether composing music or crafting stories, painting, or abstract art of his own creation, he approached each endeavor with boundless avant-garde. Across all genre, Jason's artistry inspired countless students to find confidence through movement and self-expression. His legacy lives on in every flag tossed skyward, every step taken in rhythm, and every performance, by those he mentored.

Jason's love for Disney was undeniable. Disneyland was more than just a destination-it was his happy place where imagination and creativity are brought to life through innovation, and countless memories are forever anchored here.

He was also an athlete and avid sports fan whose loyalty never wavered from the San Francisco 49ers, Golden State Warriors, and Oakland A's. Whether cheering from the stands or from home surrounded by loved ones, Jason found joy in every game. He particularly found joy coaching youth sports.

Jason had a theological mind and heart, and his Christian faith was a guiding force-- along with his abiding love for family and friends, his faith grounded him through all seasons of life.

Jason will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know and love him. May his memory bring comfort to those who carry it forward in their hearts and through the love they share with others.
