RIP: Ron S. Davis (General Hammond)

Post by Sionnach Glic »

Dear Fans and Friends of Don S. Davis,

So many of you have been touched by not only the work and art of Don S. Davis, but by the man himself, who always took the time to be with you at the appearances he loved, that it is with a tremendous sense of loss I must share with you that Don passed away from a massive heart attack on Sunday morning, June 29th.

On behalf of his family and wife, Ruby, we thank you for your prayers and condolences. A family memorial where Don's ashes will be scattered in the ocean will take place in a few weeks, and should you wish to, please make a donation to the American Heart Association in Don's memory.
RIP. :(

That sucks.

Son of a bitch. How old was he, late fifties? Early sixties? To echo Graham, that sucks.

RIP. :(

Don S. Davis was 65 years old when he died. He will not be forgotten.

Wow..I'm...surprised. I only really saw him in SG-1, but I've seen him guest starring in other shows. If he guest-starred I generally watch the show.

He will be missed.

To echo Graham and Tsuki, yeah. That sucks. He was one of my favorites in SG: 1. Way too soon... :(

Is it worth Graham or Ian merging this thread with the one in the Stargate forum?

In any event, Davis was definately one of the best actors the show had.

RIP.

Yeah, he died far too young. :(
