Timothy P. Davis of Medford passed away on Monday, July 13, 2026. He was 68 years old. Timothy was the beloved husband of Susan Shaw Davis. Born in Boston, he was the cherished son of the late Paul W. and Janet (Ryan) Davis.
Prior to his retirement, Tim was the Director of Safety for the MBTA. He was a 1975 graduate of Medford High Vocational School, concentrating in the electrical trade. Tim loved to travel and the occasional visit to the casinos, but visiting Hampton Beach in NH was one of his favorite spots. Scouting America was a lifelong passion for Tim. At just 16 years old, he became the youngest member of Troop 425 to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. He later gave back to the organization by serving for many years as Scoutmaster of Medford's Troop 425, mentoring and inspiring generations of young Scouts. He also spent many years volunteering at St. Francis of Assisi Church in Medford. He gave his time to the youth of St. Francis Parish through the Boys CYO Basketball teams and the youth program. With Susan, he led marriage preparation classes welcoming soon to be married couples to the sacrament of marriage. Tim was also a volunteer coach for Medford Youth baseball for over 15 years. Above all, the moments that brought Tim the most joy were spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.
Timothy was the devoted father of Jenna D. LaBissoniere and her husband Steven of Medford, Ryan W. Davis and his wife Francine of Stoneham, Christian P. Davis and his wife Lisa of Gilbert, AZ, Kyle T. Davis of Fitchburg and Michael S. Davis of Medford.
