LAKEPORT, Calif. — Daniel Johnny Davi was born to Ignatius and Isabel Davi on May 15, 1947, in South San Francisco and died in Lakeport on Feb. 23, 2025, at the age of 77 from NET cancer.

He was a lifelong visitor to Lake County then moved to Clearlake in the 1980s, eventually settling in Lakeport in 2000.

Dan proudly served in the US Navy for four years during the Vietnam War. After his service, he attended college at UC Berkeley, majoring in business administration and worked in the computer industry in Silicon Valley for 30 years.

He then took an abrupt change of careers and came to Lake County to work in health care as a CNA, LVN and phlebotomist. In 1998, he changed careers again and worked as a travel agent where he met and married his wife of 23 years, Cindy Giles.

During his retirement years, he volunteered with most (if not all) the veteran organizations in Lake County. He loved giving to and advocating for veterans from all branches of the services and did so proudly for almost twenty years.

He and Cindy volunteered their time, hearts and strong backs to the local food bank for many years.

Dan is survived by his father, Ignatius; his loving and caring wife, Cindy; his daughter, Melissa (Matt) Norris; stepdaughter, Megan (Gary) Pedro; grandsons, Tristan Davi, Leland Norris and William Pedro; sister-in-law, Connie Brewer; brother-in-law, Ross (Miriam) Giles; and many nieces and nephews.

He will be missed by his favorite cousins, Rick (Dianne) Gervasi, Dianna (Joe) Palmer and Bryan Palmer; his loving friend, Vivian Bucknell; all his vet buddies and all the guys at the lake.

He will be sorely missed by his three cats and all his fur buddies who adored him.

He is predeceased by his mother, Isabel, and his sister, Linda Pagano.

Per Dan's wishes there will be no funeral or memorial service.
