Kevin Davis Obituary

KEVIN DAVIS Kevin "Pepper" Davis, 51, of Las Vegas, passed away May 13, 2009. He was born June 22, 1957, in Long Island, N.Y., and was a 38-year resident of Nevada. Kevin was working for Bell Transportation before he retired in 2004. He had worked in the hospitality industry since the mid 70's at places such as the Hacienda Hotel, Caesars Palace, the Aladdin, the Riviera, and most recently, The MGM Grand and Venetian resorts. He was the recipient of many commendations for providing excellent customer service. Kevin was known as "Pepper" to many guests and co-workers. The nickname was a result of personality traits shared with his father, comedian Pepper Davis. Like his father, Kevin had the ability to make people laugh and smile. His personality could light up a room. He was preceded in death by his father, local celebrity, Pepper Davis. Kevin is survived by his mother, Betty Davis; former wife, Lisa Wolfgang Davis; brother, Dean Davis; sister, Jody Regenhardt; nephews, Dean Paul Davis, Kevin Charles Davis, Sean Davis and Joseph Davis, all of Las Vegas; and nieces, Shannon Manista of Ladera Ranch, Calif.; and Nicole Luby and Lauren Regenhardt, both of Las Vegas. Services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 23, at Hope Baptist Church, 180 E. Pebble Road, Las Vegas, NV 89123. Donations can be made to the Hope Baptist Church Building Fund. Kevin will be missed by many.

I just recently heard of Kevin's passing and I'm so saddened by the news. I have such fond memories of times spent with Kevin and Don Eisentrout and great photos of them goofing off in the "smoking area" at Chaparral High School back in 1974/75. Kevin was always bouncing with positive energy and he had the most wonderful smile and spirit. My heart goes out to his family and all who loved him.

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with Kevin. We had a lot of "talks," and I remember that he loved music. I loved his sense of humor; also the ability to be funny and then serious and wise beyond his years, often within the same sentence! I moved away but saw him at Chaparrel High School's 20 year reunion, and he was still the same wonderful person I remembered. He was a remarkable man.
May God bless you and comfort you.

Kevin and I were in the same graduating class. The first graduating class of Chaparral High School. I recently heard of his death through another classmate. Some things never change. It sounds like Kevin maintained his happy personality throughout his life. When I heard the news I pictured his face immediately. We will miss him at our class reunions but will remember him always. Best wishes to his family. Denise Gammon Allen and the Chaparral High School Class of 1975.

We were hitch-hiking home in the rain in 1974 from the California Jam in Onterio California and there were so many poeple doing the same we thought we would never get a ride. Then a car pulled up and Kevin stuck his head out with an ear to ear grin and said get in. That was just typical of times with Kevin. I just happened to google his name today and found he had passed. Just an awesome human being. He will be missed.. My condolences to his entire family.

My heart and prayers are with all those whose lives will forever be changed by Kevin's absence. Today, a friend of ours told me of the news. I looked online and sadly, here, I saw an old friend (and a familiar face) that I knew decades ago at Key Jr High.

Again, I am SO sorry for your loss.

Jody and Family, We were deeply saddened to hear about the death of Kevin. Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Kevin, we know he was an important part of your family. Remember, When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. May God bless you and your family during this time and always,

Uncle Kevy, I love you so, so much, and things will never be the same. Movie nights and midnight premiers, all the things you taught me, all the days relaxing in the house will always be engraved in my memory. I'm sure you are looking down on us as I write this, and are encouraging us to celebrate your life, rather than mourn your death. Your happiness, brightness, and exuberance will be missed. I love you, and may the adventures of Scooter Boy and Super Niece live on!

My husband Alan and I used to work with Pepper at the Aladdin, he could light up the room and make you laugh out loud. I bet he and those who passed before him are having a great reunion. My deepest condolences to your family.

We were so saddened to hear of Kevin's death, but know he is now in the presence of the One he loved -- Jesus Christ. What an honor that must be! Kevin was a very special person, and always greeted me with a big smile, and hug! Our prayers and love go out to his wonderful family! His mom Betty, and sister Jody have become very dear friends of ours, and I know they need our love and prayers!!
