Kingsley Davis Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 25, 2024.
In loving memory of Kingsley Davis, born on June 2, 1945, in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and found eternal peace on January 21, 2024.

Kingsley, a cherished son of Joyce Constance Joshua (nee Davis).

Nurtured during his formative years by a resilient woman-his grandmother Maude Davis, "Mama", a cherished presence he carried in his heart each day.

Kingsley was a devoted father to Wayne (Megan), Azure Dee, Keira, and Raymond, and a beloved grandfather to Drew, Millie, and Tremaine.

His brothers, Leslie and Bernard, stood by him during his last years, sharing trips to the gym, Costco, and early morning breakfasts. Lavorn Davis, his most beloved cousin, loved him like a brother.

Kingsley found deep love and unwavering support with his partner Pat Walcott, sharing a passion for gardening and exploring the world together.

Kingsley's absence leaves a void that will be deeply felt by numerous extended family members and friends across St. Vincent, Scotland, England, and Canada.

As a teenager, on a solo journey from St. Vincent to England, Kingsley embraced the unknown with courage. Welcomed by Auntie Katie and Uncle Richard, he found a new beginning that instilled in him a profound desire to help others find their footing, particularly as they landed in Canada.

As a licensed engineer in Britain, Kingsley took pride in maintaining his professional license while working in the Aerospace industry with McDonnell Douglas and Bombardier.

Kingsley took immense pride in sharing the story of his managerial success at Bombardier, ensuring the timely and cost effective delivery of an aircraft. This achievement led to a significant career highlight, with him later representing the company in Japan to oversee the assembly of another aircraft.

His professional journey culminated at Ford Motor Company, where he managed a business unit.

In retirement, he worked even harder, joyously driving his adored grandchildren to various activities. Kingsley's love for his grandchildren was evident, as they reached for him with delight from their mothers' arms.

With Pat by his side, Kingsley explored the world, with an unforgettable journey to China and zip-lining in Costa Rica.

Kingsley will be fondly remembered by his friend Sam, with whom he shared his loved of motorcycles and a memorable trip to Italy.

Special gratitude to friends and family who supported him during his illness, calling frequently and delivering comforting food and treats.

Kingsley Davis will be deeply missed, his spirit forever alive in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.

To pay tribute to Kingsley, the family will gather privately in his memory.

My darling Kingsley

Today marks a year since you left this world, but not a moment has gone by without you in my thoughts. All our efforts were to enable you to live with dignity and intention during difficult times. I know you felt loved each day that we had together. Your love, laughter, and dignity continue to guide me through the darkest days. I miss you more than words can say and cherish every memory we shared. While the pain of losing you remains, so does the joy of having had you in my life. Thank you for everything. You are forever in my heart.

Forever Pat

I am so saddened to have found this.
I met Kingsley on my first trip to Canada in 2019. He was a friend of my family and that's how I met him. He had a calm, inviting and pure demeanor. He took me around to get some essentials, visited with my friend who had recently welcomed a baby and even took us to Niagara Falls. He was the tour guide I never expected, but grateful to have had. He spoke about his life, his children and grandchildren. You could tell the latter role brought him great joy. He was very insightful and wise.
I returned to Canada in 2022 and thought I would reach out. I have been trying the numbers I got up to last week with no response. I left a message last week for the first time, and to my continued disappointment, no response. I went back and forth with my family contemplating if the numbers were correct, it was only yesterday when I searched his name, my biggest regret was realized.
I needed more time, to let him know how selfless and kind he was.
It's hard to fathom that his short purpose on my journey has come and gone, never to be extended.
People like Kingsley are a blessing and the world needs more like him.
He is terribly missed and will always be remembered.

To his family:
Thank you for sharing Kingsley with us. We share your pain, but hold onto the memories you're holding dear.
Sleep well Kingsley.

Kingsley has always been my "big brother" who I looked up to and was always there for me whilst growing up. Our grandparents (Mama and Daddy) raised us both after having 16 children of their own. Uncle Richard always say´s that he helped in looking after us, as he was one of the last uncles to leave home. How often he has said ` we were always spoilt growing up´, I suppose in comparison to their tough upbringing, we were!

We came together again when I arrived in England, March 1965. Kingsley guided me through my journey of settling into a new country and culture, along with family he set me on my path.

Kingsley joined the Royal Navy, I Joined the Army. We stayed in contact with each other throughout our lives, seeing each other when opportunities allowed, but always in stayed in touch. So many happy memories, things I could say .

Kingsley was more than a cousin, he was my "brother", my family and dearest friend. Rest In Peace Kingsley.
Love Len and family.

Our condolences to his family.I met Kingsley when we moved to Reynier Drive in 2016. He was a pleasant and friendly person who was happy to share his words of wisdom. We bonded over our shared love of plants and flowers and we’d exchange plants occasionally. We visited him often and we shared lots of stories. Our last trip was to Prince Edward county.I lost a friend when his condition caused his memory to deteriorate rapidly so I was terribly surprised to learn of his passing. Kingsley you are missed and will be missed. Rest in peace! Jay, Fiona, Matthew & Noah

My heart felt condolences to Kingsley's children,grandchildren and Pat and anyone that really knew him.

Kingsley was my cousin but my 3rd parent when he lived with my parents Katy and Alec and i when I was a very young child in Reading England. He was very strict but loving and caring.
He would give me rides on the back of his precious motor bikes and make little model airplanes and hang them from our bedroom ceiling.

When he moved to Canada we were very upset and missed him,but kept in contact.
He loved nothing more than talking about his children and grandchildren and was very proud of all of them.
He loved his garden and we would send photos/video to each other of various plants that brightened our day.

Last time we were together was in 2018 in St.Vincent when we spent precious time together,not knowing it would be the last time! Those we love don´t go away,they walk beside us every day,unseen unheard,but always near,still loved still, missed and very dear!
Always in our heart dear Cuz Kingsley!
