Herbert John Davies

September 6th, 1931- April 5th, 2026

It is with great sadness and loss in our hearts that we announce the passing of Herbert “Herb” John Davies who died on Easter Sunday, April 5th, 2026 at the age of 94.

Family was a valued cornerstone of Herb’s life. He was the beloved and adored father of Paul (Marwin), Grandpa of Morgan, Brooke (Jason), and Malcolm (Jealinn), great-grandpa of Maevyn, brother of Rene (Tommy), Pat (Derek), Arthur (Carla) and Pauline (Alan) and the caring husband of his late wife Marlene; with whom he is now reunited.

Herb was sentimental and reveled in recounting memories of growing up in Wales, living through World War II, past Christmases, New Year’s Eve dances, golf games, vacations, and gatherings spent with his cherished family and friends.

Herb had a great sense of humour and was quick witted, a quality enjoyed by those around him up to his final days. He had a spirited laugh and an uplifting and comforting smile.

Herb’s work as a painter/decorator was important to him and he used his meticulous skills to decorate his home and many others. He took pride in the fact that he lived independently in his home, which he lovingly referred to as “Marlene’s House”, until the age of 93. We would like to thank the staff at Bloom Retirement and Caressant Care long-term care home in Lindsay, Ontario, who cared for him in the last year of his life.

Herb’s legacy is one of generosity, humour, story telling, singing, dancing, love, faith, family, and fun.

A private Catholic committal ceremony and interment will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations in Herb’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
