Jonathan Davis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 15, 2024.
Jonathan B. Davis, age 48, of Marshfield, passed away, unexpectedly, Sunday, May 12, 2024 at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth.

Jonathan was born in Boston, raised and educated in Braintree. He was a graduate of Thayer Academy, Class of 1994, and earned his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Skidmore College in Saratoga, N.Y., Class of 1998. He lived in Marshfield for three years, previously in Scituate.

He was employed as a strategic account executive for Vercel in the Boston office for the past three years. Prior to that, Jonathan worked for Udacity in Boston.

As a young man, Jonathan was a talented athlete. At Thayer Academy, he was a three-sport athlete, as captain of the soccer team and as a varsity baseball and basketball player. At Skidmore College, he was a scouted relief pitcher and still holds the school record for most relief appearances. He maintained his love for all sports as an avid Boston sports fan.

Jonathan enjoyed gardening and working around his home. He liked golfing and recently, with former Skidmore ballplayers, joined a senior baseball league. He was well-know amongst his friends as being a "foodie," sampling different foods and local restaurants.

He loved animals, especially his two rescue dogs, Gambi and Raven, and his late West Highland Terrier, Jasper.

Beloved son of Kathleen R. "Bobby Kay" (Smith) Davis of Weymouth and Harold R. Davis and his wife Alida of Douglas.

Devoted brother of Erica Davis of Weymouth.

Loving fiancé of Shauna Caisey of Marshfield.

Dear nephew of Sally and Stan Miller of Canton.

Jonathan is also survived by many cousins, friends, and their families.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated in Saint Francis Xavier Church, 234 Pleasant Street, South Weymouth, on Monday, May 20, at 10 a.m. Relatives and friends are invited to attend. Visiting Hours will be held at the Dolan Funeral Home, 460 Granite Avenue, East Milton, on Sunday, May 19, from 2 - 5 p.m. Interment Blue Hill Cemetery, Braintree.

Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet Jonathan except for a few small interactions, but I heard many great things about him countless times over and over. He was respected and admired by many, leaving many individuals in awe of his talent. I've heard him called the "Steph Curry" of what we do; helping customers and improving the lives of people at work. As a growing professional, I looked up to him as someone to be one day, knowledgeable, excellent at his craft, and an amazing human being and coworker. He's an inspiration. I'll always regret not knowing him more, may he rest in peace. He'll forever be in our hearts and minds.

I have known JD since I was in college in Boston and then had the pleasure of being part of his San Diego framily while he lived out here with Mandy. JD and I would spend hours talking about our philosophy on life and being sarcastic ( things we did best )
