Tribute
August 26, 1940 – December 2, 2025
Larry Davies (aka: The Gentle Giant or The Big Guy), passed away peacefully on Dec 2, 2025 at LMH – with his family and their love surrounding him. Larry leaves behind a family who loved him deeply – his wife Karen of 57 years: his two sons and their wives – Brad (Deana), and Ryan (Rachelle). He was blessed with four beautiful grandchildren – Jessica, Kaitlyn, Trevor, and Maxwell. His love and gentle strength will live on in each of them.
He was born in Mission BC on Aug 26, 1940. Other than 4 years spent in Terrace BC, Larry moved to SSI in 1973 to work for BC Hydro. He raised his family enjoying the laid back, peaceful lifestyle the island provided for the last 52 years. He played almost every sport available on the island, coaching women’s softball, and his son’s softball and soccer teams.
Next to his family – Larry’s greatest love was golf, and cars! Both his sons inherited his passion for cars, and rumour has it that they were raised on the golf course – when mom worked. He had his last game at the SSI golf Club with the men’s Fickle Fingers group on Sept. 26, 2025. We know he’s now resting peacefully – but is also busy looking for the nearest golf course.
He will be sorely missed by family and friends, but never forgotten.
A celebration for Larry’s life will be planned in the spring.
