Remembering Rick Davis: A Dedicated Advocate and Friend
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Rick Davis, a beloved and longtime member of the Oley community. Rick’s connection to the Oley Foundation began in 2001, and over the years, he became a guiding light for many. Before his health challenges, Rick served as the CEO of the Salt Lake City Convention and Visitors Bureau for 16 years. Following a stroke that left him unable to swallow and dependent on tube feeding, he turned his personal journey into a source of inspiration and advocacy. As Oley President from 2006 to 2011, Rick was a dedicated leader, always ready to support and mentor those new to therapy. His generosity and passion for raising awareness were evident in all he did—including his incredible achievement of hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim. Rick’s kindness, resilience, and unwavering dedication to the Oley community will not be forgotten. Our hearts go out to his family during this difficult time.
