Wayne Omar Davis

Sunrise: December 11, 1951
Sunset: December 22, 2025
Wayne Omar Davis, age 74, of Norwalk, Connecticut, was lovingly welcomed into eternal peace on December 22, 2025. Born in Stamford, Connecticut, to Abraham Trowbridge Davis and Sarah Alexander Davis, Wayne lived a full, vibrant life defined by love, laughter, service, and an unmistakable presence that filled every room he entered.
A proud graduate of Rippowam High School Stamford, CT Class of 1970, Wayne answered a higher calling soon after by serving in the United States Navy via Vietnam from 1970 to 1975. His military service was a lifelong source of pride, reflecting his strong sense of duty, discipline, and love for his country.
Wayne carried that same dedication into his professional life, building a respected career in the dry-cleaning business then with Pfizer Incorporated and later as a precision linear positional machinist with Universal Thread in Fairfield, Connecticut. A man who valued knowledge and growth, he also attended Norwalk Community College, always striving to better himself and his craft, up until this year still practicing Korean, Mandarin and Cantonese.
On the morning of December 19, 2025, while preparing for another day of work, Wayne experienced a sudden cardiac event. Though his physical journey ended, his spirit remains alive in the countless lives he touched, the laughter he shared, and the love he gave so freely.
Wayne was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved siblings: Yvonne I. Roberts, Abraham T. Davis Jr., Frederick P. Davis Sr., and Lawrence R. Davis Sr.
He leaves behind a legacy of love through his brother Bobbie L. Davis; sisters Nancy Davis and Betsy L. Davis; and his cherished children: Dawn Smith of Baltimore, Maryland; Trinia Gray of Greenville, North Carolina; Steven Ferguson of Norwalk, Connecticut; and Wendy Davis of Mesquite, Texas. Wayne's greatest joy was his family, which grew to include 16 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and a large circle of nieces, nephews, cousins, and lifelong friends.
Wayne lived boldly and freely-what you saw was what you got. He was famous for his playful spirit and quick humor, and anyone who spent time with him knew to guard their food and drinks because his finger would be in it. If cookies, chocolate cake, and a cold glass of milk were around, Wayne was right at home and staying awhile. He loved good company, good laughs, and good times-and he made sure everyone around him felt included.
Wayne Omar Davis loved life, loved his family, and lived each day his way-full of intention, joy, and heart. His laughter echoes, his stories live on, and his love will continue to guide us until we meet again. Take him home, country roads.
A memorial service celebrating Wayne's life will be announced at a later date.
