We Remember

DAVIES, Keith William

December 4, 1939 — September 25, 2026

It is with heavy hearts that we share the peaceful passing of our dad, Keith William Davies, on September 25, 2026, at the age of 86.

Born on December 4, 1939, in Portsmouth, England, Keith built a remarkable life rooted in education, community, and an enduring love story. He was predeceased just two years ago by the love of his life, his wife of 66 years, Gail Anne Davies (née Haszard). Keith and Gail’s story began in Grade 12 at West Vancouver High School, and they were married just a year later—a lifelong partnership defined by caring and devotion.

A proud UBC alumnus with a Bachelor and Master of Education, Keith dedicated his professional life to shaping young minds. He served as a teacher and administrator in several North Vancouver elementary schools before spending his final, impactful years teaching math at Handsworth Secondary.

Keith leaves behind a family who loved him: his three children, Karen Borring-Olsen (Dennis), Bruce Davies (Wendi), and Geoff Davies (Bernie); his 5 grandchildren; and 4 great-grandchildren, who will all carry forward his memory and sharp mathematical mind.

A private family celebration of life is planned to honor both Keith and Gail.
