Gilford ---- Jamaica Johnny (John) Kevin Davis, 70, of Lake Shore Road, passed away on Friday, July 7, 2023 at Concord Hospital in Laconia.
John was born on September 30, 1952 in Salem, MA, the son of Walter and Marie (Brintnall) Davis.
After moving to Gloucester, he spent several years as a commercial fisherman, and always could be found at Mitch’s, Praddy’s or the Crow’s Nest. Or he could be seen on his skiff with his family at Wingaersheek Beach.
Since he married, John enjoyed being with his wife, Nina, living in Jamaica and their cottage on Lake Winnipesaukee. Boating, motorcycling, and spending time by the water were his passions. Another joy for John was music in all of its forms—reggae, musicales, heavy metal, and classical—his next goal was learning to play the violin.
John is survived by his wife Nina (DiIanni) Davis, his daughter, Erin King her husband David, their children Anthony, Riley, and Nolan, his daughter, Lonnie Russo her husband Michael, and their daughter, Mikayla. John’s many buddies, friends and extended family will miss him terribly. John was predeceased by parents.
There will be a Celebration of his Life at a later date.
