Tolland Obituary: TFC Stephen Davis, 50

Trooper First Class Stephen Forbes Davis, 50, tragically lost his life on Saturday, February 6, 2016.

Born in Quincy, MA on August 9, 1965, the son of Carolyn Davis and the late Arthur Davis. Stephen was the beloved husband and soulmate of 24 years to Jeryl Davis and cherished father to Jorden Davis. He was a graduate of East Catholic High School and the University of Hartford. He entered the State Police Academy and graduated with the 98th Training Troop on September 2, 1988. Most recently Stephen was assigned to Troop C in Tolland. During the 27 years with the State Police, he served as the Tolland Resident Trooper, a DARE Instructor, Field Training Officer for new Troopers, and earned a Medal for Lifesaving award.

Stephen was one of a kind: a thoughtful, loving husband; a father that cherished his daughter; a devoted son; an adoring brother; a wonderful colleague; and, the absolute best friend anyone could wish for.

In addition to Stephen’s wife, daughter, and mother, he leaves his sister Kim Carino and her husband Francis; his parent-in-laws John and Joyce Vullo; his brother-in-law John Vullo; his brother-in-law Jeff Vullo and wife Carol; his sister-in-law Judy Vullo; his sister-in-law Jane Meserlian; best friends Brandon and Tracy Hawthorne; Dazee the family Jack Russell; and a large extended family of nieces and nephews. May his brilliant, kind spirit shine down upon all those grieving this significant loss.
