Ronald Davis Obituary

Davis, Ronald AMSTERDAM Ronald Davis, of Amsterdam, N.Y., died peacefully on Saturday, July 2, 2022, at Albany Medical Center Hospital, a few months after being diagnosed with colon cancer. He was 65 years old. Ron was born to the late Willie Myers Davis and Bernice Davis on November 12, 1956, and grew up in Hudson, N.Y., where he attended public schools. He worked for many years as a supervisor at the NYS Dep't of Taxation and Finance in Albany and then at Davis Vision Center and Beacon Health Options after his retirement from the state. Ron was a highly intelligent and deeply caring man who made a strong impression on all who knew him. He loved Jazz music, good food, basketball and football, reading, and beautiful surroundings.

He is also survived by two sons, Kellen of Albany, and Quentin of Latham; best friend, Angeline Riccardi of Amsterdam; six siblings; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends.

Met Ron while working at NYS Tax. He was a real straight shooter. Friendly, personable, never had a bad thing to say about anyone, great character, one of the few better people to work with in NYS service. I was saddened to hear of Ron`s passing at so young an age. Too many good people leave this earthly realm far too soon. My condolences to Ron`s family.

I am unable to make Ron´s service but please know I cared about your dad and wish I could pay my respects to your family. I met Ron through words with friends and we would get together once in a while for dinner or to listen to live music. He was funny and kind. He never forgot to send a card for birthdays and holidays and always included a sweet message. He loved his family and spoke of you all often with pride. I will miss him.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Ron. I
Worked with Ron at Wade Road. We would have many conversations about his family and what a devoted father he was. His family was very important to him. His family is in my prayers. May he RIP.

Ron and I agree up together in Hudson. Ron was a kind caring friend with a great sense of humor. I shared many a meal with him and his family growing up and was always made to feel that I belonged. Ron taught me the true meaning of loyalty and friendship and I will miss him.

Had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful man years ago while working at Norstar Bank. Then once again years later upon his entering his job with HESC. What a true human being. Such a loss for all. Condolences to his family. May he be at peace.
