The family of Eric Davies is heartbroken to share that Eric passed away suddenly at home in the early hours of January 14, 2023 with his son Ben. Eric is survived by his daughter, Erin Bakas (Alex) and his former wife Catherine Harris (Jim Wellington). He is predeceased by his mother, Christine B. Davies (Wolverton), his father Benjamin Davies, sister Mary Ann Davies, brother Stephen Davies, and his uncles Carl and Warren Wolverton. Eric leaves behind cousins and nephews in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Alberta.
Eric graduated with a BSc in Biology and a BA in History from the University of New Brunswick after which he spent two terms in Africa as a teacher for CUSO in Sierra Leone and Zambia during the 1970s. Following that he moved to Ottawa where he worked for the Red Cross as a biomedical research scientist. This is where he met and married Cathi Harris. In 1988 they moved to Mississauga, where Erin and Ben were born. He worked as a biomedical research scientist there until 2007. He moved back to the Ottawa area in 2008 where he lived until 2011. He retired to Woodstock NB to help care for his mother.
Eric was an avid reader who loved cooking and music. He had many interesting stories from his days in Africa and in the biomedical field which he loved to share over a glass of wine. He was a generous soul who loved his friends and family.
Interment will be at the Woodstock Rural Cemetery. A celebration of life will be scheduled at a date to be determined.
Donations in his memory can be made to a charity of your choice or the Canadian Cancer Society, Heart & Stroke Foundation, or CUSO International.
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
