Robert Henry Davis, Jr.

Robert Henry Davis, Jr. (Bob) passed away at the age of 67, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on June 3, 1957 in Hollis, Queens, to Robert Henry Davis Sr. and Audrey Dains Silvey Davis. Bob grew up in the Long Island town of Bay Shore, New York where he formed lifelong bonds with his younger brothers Gregory and Theodore, and many dear relatives and friends.

From childhood, Bob lived with a zest for life. Whether skating on the frozen canal, fishing in Cape Cod, spending countless hours on his clam boat, or sprinting to a county track title. He brought energy, humor, and heart to everything he did. He earned his Eagle Scout badge at a young age, which is a true reflection of his determination and spirit.

Bob went on to attend West Chester State University where he achieved great recognitions and honors which helped to shape and inspire his future career goals and aspirations. He would spend the next 40 plus years growing and molding other young go-getters to do the same, in the hopes of them reaching their truest potential.

Bob's life was rooted in love and family. He married his lifelong friend, Donnajean Kellner, on September 20, 1986, and together they raised two wonderfully intelligent and accomplished daughters, Daniele and Jessica. Together their family blossomed and memories were created in their home in Bayport, New York.

Bob lived out his dreams as a Father, never missing a beat as he coached Daniele on the softball fields and connecting with Jessica on her love of literature. He was a proud Grandfather, and a constant presence in the lives of those he loved—always ready with a story, a laugh, or appropriate movie line.

He found joy in the simple things: grilling in the backyard, watching and quoting classic films with his brothers, listening to his carefully curated music collection, cheering on his beloved NY Rangers and Mets, and making memories that stretched from the beach tothe snowy mountains. Bob made people feel welcome—his door was always open, and his laughter filled every room.

Bob departs this life survived by his wife of almost 40 years, Donnajean, daughters Daniele and Jessica, son in-laws Brett and Agustín, grandchildren Harper Jean, Jaxon Myles, Remi James—with another granddaughter on the way—loving brothers Gregory and Theodore, sister-in-law Darla, nephew Liam, nieces Ainsley, Kelsey and Lily, cousins, and a multitude of friends who felt like family.

Though we wish we had more time with him, Bob’s love remains deeply woven into our lives. He lived fully and gave freely. We miss him dearly, and we carry his spirit and legacy forward with every story told, every smile shared, and every moment of joy we pass on.
