Br. Eamonn Davis S.J.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Eamonn. I knew him for many years through An Oige hiking and really enjoyed his company. He was such a lovely gentle person and was such an inspiration to me on the calling to be Christian. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

It’s with deep sadness we have heard about the passing of Br Davis he was a great friend to our Mother Peggy He will be remembered near and far He was a gentleman with a heart of gold

Brother Davis was my inspiration growing up in Gardiner street. He taught me so much about life and chess strategy. I loved our chats on hikes in the Wicklow mountains. Goodbye old friend . Rest in Prace.

He epitomised everything that is good about Belvedere College.
He was understated in the way he did things but his impact was immense.
A true once in a generation player.

Deepest sympathies to the Jesuit and Belvedere communities on the recent passing of Brother Eamonn. I knew Eamonn through the Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes. The breadth and depth of respect the Belvedere lads had for him was so evident over the decades - they held him in the highest regard. He touched the lives of so many in a very understated manner. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílís.

Condolences to the Jesuit community and Eamonn's family. While our boys were in Belvedere (1989-1998), I met Eamonn from time to time and found him good company. While they were not involved in Life-Saving, my late Padraic SJ (d. 1956) was also involved in Life Saving when he taught in Coláiste Iognáid in Galway. This was a basis for a very tenous family connection to Eamonn.

Deepest sympathy and condolences to Bro Eamonn’s extended family and the Jesuit community on Bro Eamonn’s death. He was a small man who cast a long shadow. His quite unassuming way is a lesson to us all in life and in Christianity.
We are the better in having known him and our lives are diminished by his passing.

We were saddened to hear of the passing of brother Eammon Davis. May he rest in eternal peace!

Brother Davis was such a great down to earth man who was dedicated to helping others. Our two sons did Lifesaving and the VDP all throughout their time in Belvedere and had the height of time and utmost respect for Brother Davis as did we. It was lovely bumping into him at so many of the rugby matches after the boys had left the school. He was a unique unassuming human being. He will be sorely missed in so many ways but very fondly remembered. Thank you for all you did and the important impact you had on our boys. May you rest now in eternal peace.

Br. Davis was hugely respected and admired by all the student body, including those who were not involved in the VdP or the lifesaving. He was smilingly no-nonsense and cheerful with an energy that shone out of him. He was one of those authentic people who make life - and how to live - look extremely straightforward: be kind and help others. It seemed like he would go on forever, but he has surely earned his rest. RIP

Br. Eamonn Davis was probably the most dynamic person I have ever met. He had an amazing bias towards action, and all that action was anchored in his deep-seated commitment to serving God. He was no-nonsense, but was perceptively kind to young people finding their feet. He had a genius for selflessly creating communities that changed people's lives for the better. Through the conferences of the Vincent de Paul in Belvedere he built deep and dear relationships between people that might otherwise have never met each other. I owe him a great deal for many things - the opportunity to serve as a brancardier in Lourdes, the chance to be part of the Conference of St John Berchmans, and the good fortune to know Josephine McHale from George's Place who became a great pal. St Francis of Assisi said to his followers 'Fratres, dum tempus habemus operemur bonum'/ 'Brothers, while we have time let us do good'; not many use their time as productively and as well as Br Eamonn Davis did. God bless him. Condolences to all Eamonn's family.

Today ,Br Eamonn Davis was interred after a life time of giving and assisting people in need .
Br Davis was a shining example of man’s humanity to his fellow man .
Requiescat in Pacem

Always smiling and never complaining - he only cared about making life better for those who were on hard times - a great example to us all and may he rest in peace.

RIP, a beautiful and gentle soul

What a Beautiful Mass & Tribute to Brother Eamonn. May he Rest in Peace. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

Sincerest condolences to Alma and all the extended family

Br. Eamonn will be sadly missed by many, many members of the Belvedere community. He was a mentor and friend to generations of students, and he truly embodied the Jesuit philosophy of being a man for others. His gentleness and kindness will be long remembered. Rest In Peace Br. Eamonn. Rob Kearns

Sincere sympathy to Eamonn's family and friends, and all in the Jesuit community. A life well-lived by a humble man of active faith. He will be remembered by the thousands of students he cared for, counselled, and inspired. Always smiling, always giving, the quintessential Man for Others.

We all in Rahan and Tullybeg have fond memories of Br Eamonn throughout all his years in The College in Tullybeg. We have often talked, about him throughout the years.

"Well done, good and faithful servant." (Matthew 25:23)
Br. Eamon's legacy lives on in all who take time to listen to and care for those who are marginalised in our society. He consistently reminded us to try to make a difference for the better. He inspired us because he was so actively engaged in life, never taking it for granted and always humble in everything he did. Our deepest sympathy to his fellow Jesuits, his family and all those who shred his friendship. May he rest in peace.

A privilege to have known you - a true educator and inspiration.
We all learnt so much from you.
Rest in Peace.

My deepest sympathies to all of Brother Eamonn’s family and the Jesuit community. What an amazing, inspiring genuine man. I first met him when he started lifesaving as a beginner in CRC and then had the privilege of meeting in Lourdes and our paths crossed at different times.I will always remember him fondly. May he Rest in Peace.Brenda

Brother Eamonn will be sorely missed by all the Belvedere Community.His passion and energy for helping others knew no bounds.Condolences to his family and all who knew him.Ní bheidh a leitheid arís ann.Go mbainfi sé taitneamh as solas na bhFlaithis.

May his gentle soul find peace and rest in the loving embrace of his Creator.

He was the epitome of a man for others. Much missed, never forgotten.

Rest in peace a great man. Trained so many young men in swimming and live saving skills.

Our deepest condolences to all of Br Eamonn’s family, the Jesuits and the Belvedere community at this very sad time. He was a lovely man and we were privileged to know him when our sons were in Belvedere. There can be no doubt that he is now at rest in the loving arms of Jesus.

My deepest sympathies to Br. Eamonn’s family and community. He was inspirational in the commitment he had to the students from Belvedere College who were part of the Dublin Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes. A man of practical advice always leading by example. May he rest now from his labours in the gentle embrace of the Good Shepherd.

As a cherished Jesuit and a truly thoughtful man, his loss is felt profoundly by all who knew him. Br. Eamonn's kindness, wisdom, and unwavering faith and sense of fun have touched countless lives. His legacy of compassion and dedication to serving others will continue to inspire us all. He and John will be reminiscing together about all the wonderful work they achieved with Berchmans. Though words may offer little comfort in the face of such sorrow, we will find solace in the memories of the love and joy he brought into the world. You will be missed, Br. Eamonn. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Our deepest condolences to all of Br Davis’s family, the Vincent de Paul and Belvedere College communities, at this very sad time. Ár dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.

It’s hard to know what you can say about someone who could inspire thousands of teenagers so simply through his tireless devotion to others. The most extraordinary person I’ve ever met. RIP Brother Davis, the epitome of a man for others.

You have well and truly earned your rest, brother Davis. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. You taught us life skills while having fun. Our swimming days and trips up the mountains is the stories we tell our children. Not forgetting our christmas party in the Belveder where you made sure every child was looked after. Your generosity was unmeasure. Harwdicke Street will always be grateful.. Thank you ❤️

Sympathy to Brother Davis sister and all the Davis family and his fellow Jesuits Brother Davis was so supportive to our family at all times

Br. Eamonn Davis through his ministry to the poor and marginalised helped to bring a beacon of light into so many people's lives. His acts of charity and humility demonstrated Christian solidarity and social justice in simple yet profound ways. As a past pupil of Belvedere College S.J. I knew him both as a swim coach with a skill for teaching water lifesafety as well as the convener of the St. Vincent De Paul St. John Berchman's weekly conference. In many respects Br. E. Davis brought a breadth to my schooling extending the Jesuit education and values of being men for others literally into the streets of Dublin's North East Inner City. We are all the richer for having known him. Ar Dheis De go raibh a Ainm dílis.

Eamonn, your zest for life and your tireless desire to help everyone in need will live on in the thousands of lives you have touched. Your good deeds have gone before you, may you now Rest peacefully in the nearer presence of the Lord whom you loved and served. AMDG.
