He grew up in Santa Fe, attended Cristo Rey, St. Mikes & graduated from SFHS. Davy followed his dad’s footsteps in becoming a master jeweler. He moved to Bloomington, Ind. where he worked in various high-end jewelry stores. He returned home after 10 years & worked with his dad at Santa Fe Goldworks. He crafted beautiful jewelry which he generously gifted to his loved ones.

Davy had a good sense of humor & a crazy laugh which quickly lifted the spirits of everyone around him. He loved any kind of music going to concerts & always had his headphones on. Davy always said “Music is what keeps me alive”. He loved taking early morning walks to see a beautiful sunrise & taking photographs of the city he loved. He enjoyed fishing with his son Andrew & watching his grandkids participate in various sports & attending their birthday parties. He never hesitated to share & open his beautiful heart & spirit with his family, friends & even strangers, never putting himself first.
