David Richard Davis was born and raised in Lewiston, Maine. He was active in outdoor activities particularly hiking and mountain climbing. He enjoyed building electrical and mechanical devices. He came to St.F.X in 1963 to study physics. During the summer of 1966 after his third year of study he worked in the Physics Department for Father Clarke. At the end of the summer he was on his way home for a short visit before classes started when he was killed in a car accident. The David Davis prizes for first and third year physics were established by his parents and uncle and were awarded for the first time in 1982.
