Kenneth Davis Obituary
Kenneth Robert Davis, affectionately known as "The Count," passed away Thursday, February 20, 2020, at the age of 73. Ken was born in The Bronx, New York on March 1, 1946 and was one of three children born to the late William W. Davis, Sr. and Doris Ann Armistead Davis.
Ken devoted his life to his family and career. A tireless advocate with his own law practice, he still managed to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. When he wasn't at the office or at the courthouse, Ken relished being at home. He also enjoyed reminiscing about his childhood and his glory days as a softball coach, talking sports with his son (his favorite teams were the Giants and Knicks), engaging in the occasional debate with his daughter about any and everything, reading and listening to music (he loved the Temptations). But what Ken enjoyed the most, was watching his family achieve their goals. Whether it was starring in a play or graduating from a prestigious high school, it always brought the biggest smile to his face.
In addition to his parents, Ken was preceded in death by one brother, William "Butch" W. Davis, Jr. and one nephew, Michael William Davis. Ken is survived by his children, Ira Jerome Cobb of Bridgeport, CT and Nicole Shereese Cobb of Stamford, CT; one sister, Joyce Lynn Davis of Santa Clara, CA; three nieces, Nicole Denise Davis of Concord, NC, Khalia Simone Davis of Brooklyn, NY and Ahjali Dorann Davis of Queens, NY; and one grandson, Justin Alexander Cobb of Naugatuck, CT. Ken will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved him. The family will be receiving condolences on Saturday, March 7, 2020 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Graves Medley Funeral Home, 31 Stillwater Ave., Stamford, CT 06902. A memorial service will follow at 12 p.m.

Ken I remember you playing Babe Ruth Baseball and the excitement I felt watching you play.
I was still in Little League but you were one of my favorite Baseball Players in Stamford.
I truly enjoyed playing softball with you at Rice School Playground.
Later in life, when I did The Radio Show Black Viewpoint, you came on and brought a professional View to the field of Law since you were studying to be an Attorney.
In my estimation you were a top shelf guy who always exuded professionalism and a thoroughly positive attitude about life.
Godspeed my old pal and Pax Vobiscum.

To Kenny's family,
He was such a kind and gentle soul. Always on the positive side of every issue. Usually I had called Kenny with a question, often about our high school years and later about his professional career. He called me a few years ago and we had our most heartfelt talk....one of those talks you don't want to end.
To our SHS '1963 classmates, we have lost too soon the special gifts Kenny brought to the turbulent national and world times we lived in, a calmness and reassurance unique even in the world today. We have lost the leadership, devotion and love of our dear friend.
May Kenny rest in a well earned peace,

Kenneth and me go back a long ways since Junior
High School. Kenneth use to play quarter back at Cloning along with Willie Mouzon as his running back. I played at Rogers Junior High as running back and line backer. Kenneth, Shelley Ragsdale,
Willie Mouzon and myself use to hang together until I left Stamford to join the Army. Kenneth was a good brother I am sorry to see him leave so soon because he was still young and have much to offer.
I want to give my condolences to his family members during their period of bereavement.
Rest in Peace my Brother!
