Homer R. Davis

COLEBROOK – Homer R. Davis, 59, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly early on Tuesday morning, Dec. 31, 2024, after being stricken at his home. He was born in W. Stewartstown on June 2, 1965, a son to the late Robert G. and JoAnn (Parker) Davis. He was raised and educated in Colebrook, and was a 1983 graduate of Colebrook Academy. While in school, Homer was very active in the cadet program of the Civil Air Patrol. He then attended the White Mountain Community College in Berlin and obtained a degree in surveying. Homer worked for a year in the southern part of N.H. doing surveying work, but being a true Colebrook boy, he returned home. He always said that he had no regrets returning because if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have had the family that he did. He also worked for a time for a road construction crew, at The Balsams Wilderness ski area making snow, and for several years at the old NAPA Auto Parts store for Weldon Brooks and later Jim Biron. Following his time at NAPA, Homer took a job as an automobile salesman for Brooks Chevrolet, which later became Don Noyes’ Chevrolet, and where he worked for many years. Freemasonry was important in the Davis family, and Homer was a long-time member and Past Master of Evening Star Lodge, #37, F. & A.M. For the past several years, he served as the Treasurer for the Lodge. He was also a Royal Arch Mason in the York Rite. Earlier in life, he was a member of the Jaycees in Colebrook, and later joined the Kiwanis Club in Colebrook, always enjoying the community service events that the club was responsible for. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and his entire family. Homer lived life to the fullest, had an unforgettable and contagious laugh, and was always the person who could light up a room. He loved to be with his friends and family, and had countless friends that were also family to him. He is survived by his wife of 29 years, Sonia (Cotnoir) Davis of Colebrook; twin sons, Robert and Richard Davis; a daughter, Brianna Davis; and a sister, Deanna “Dee Dee” Dion and her husband, Roger, of North Carolina. Memorial calling hours will be on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook, immediately preceded by a Masonic Funeral Rite at 9:45 a.m. A celebration of Homer’s life will immediately follow at 1 p.m. at the American Legion Hall in Canaan.
