Dear wonderful and supportive fans of Don S. Davis

On behalf of Don�s wife Ruby, son Mathew and family, we would like to thank all the fans for all of your kind words, love and support you have given us. Don passed away from a heart attack on Sunday, June 29th, 2008 at the age of 65.

Don was born and raised in Missouri Ozark in Aurora, Missouri in August 1942. His picturesque home is made up of towns and farms, rivers and lakes. This was the perfect artistic inspiration that sparked a love of drawings, paintings and carvings found on his personal site www.donsdavisart.com. Although Don�s fulltime acting career did not start until 1987, he received his bachelor degree in science and achieved a double major in theatre and art from Southwest Missouri State College in 1965. He went on to serve in the army, and upon leaving his duties had achieved the rank of Captain.

Don completed his Masters Degree in 1970 and achieved his Phd in 1982. He then taught for a number of years at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC before starting his acting career.

Don was a veteran character actor in the film and television industry. He is best known for his roles as Major Garland Briggs in the series, TWIN PEAKS, and for his portrayal of General George Hammond in the series, STARGATE SG-1. You can view his filmography at www.donsdavis.com.

In July 2003, Don married his soul mate and the great love of his life, Ruby Fleming-Davis. Don and Ruby along with their three dogs, Teto, Ming and Charley resided in Gibsons, BC before his untimely passing.

A private family memorial where Don's ashes will be scattered in the ocean has been planned. If you like to make a donation in Don�s memory, please donate to the American Heart Association.

Thank you all for your support and emails.
