On Sunday, October 17, 2021, Lindsay Davis, loving daughter, sister, aunt and friend, passed away at the age of 37.
Lindsay was born November 29, 1983 in Helena, MT. She attended school in Helena and lived many adventures between Montana, Idaho and Washington. Lindsay was a talented artist and loved different forms of self-expression. She loved to draw, paint and craft, as well as create one-of-a-kind gifts for friends and loved ones.
Lindsay had a spark that was undeniable. Even in adversity, she loved to brighten a day with her compassionate spirit and infectious smile. Her kindness and beauty left a lasting impression wherever she went – whether it was friends, family, people she met at her job or a stranger who may have looked like they needed a friend. Lindsay also had a heart for animals and children that was incredible to watch. She was always known to offer to help and care for those who needed it most.
When you lose someone in an instant, you realize that the little things don’t matter unless they are the little ways we show our love. Lindsay showed us every day the little ways to show love.
Lindsay was preceded in death by her Grandma Betty, Grandpa Jack and Uncle Jackie. She is survived by her father Bill Davis and his love Tammy Rivers, her sister Keila (Marco) and brother Jake (Kirsten), niece Madison and nephews Tristen, Messier and Bernie, as well as many aunts, uncles and cousins. In addition to family, Lindsay had a way of making friends like family whom she also leaves behind.
No funeral or memorial service is immediately planned. The family will notify loved ones in the future when a service is scheduled.
In lieu of flowers or donations, please do something kind for a stranger in Lindsay’s name and brighten someone’s day just as Lindsay did.

My heart is aching for the Davis family. May they have solace in the sheer number of lives that Lindsay touched with her kind, giving heart. Lindsay had a way of leaving her mark on all who she met, whether a lifelong friend or a stranger needing a hug. Her laugh and smile was infectious. A truly beautiful soul that would do anything for anyone. The world is a little bit dimmer with her passing.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten. We love you Lindsay, may you rest in peace and fly with the Angels.
Kyle Davis Campbell says
R.I.P. Lindsay. You were always so sweet and caring whenever we spoke, and always were trying to make me laugh or smile. I know you’d gone through a lot, now you can lay your burden down.
<3 to all the family. :'(

Lindsay was one of a kind. She was also a hero. I barely knew her and she sat and listened to me talk and she really listened. She saved my life, as I was suicidal. I never saw her after that day but I thought of her often. It takes a real Angel to listen to a stranger, cry with them, and mend a little piece of my heart. Fly high sweet girl. I will think of you often and light a candle in your memory.

Lindsay quite literally taught me how to be happy, at age 27. I had no idea how she could come to work everyday with a smile on her face, through all of her health issues and hardships she faced. She took me under her wing and opened my eyes to the beauty of life. She taught me how to love, she taught me how strong I could be, how to show strength, happiness, and grace all at the same time; all the while being the clumsy messed we both were. She taught me how to laugh at myself, and how to love myself. She taught me that it is okay to make mistakes. The world lost such an amazing, beautiful soul the day you passed away. I am so thankful for the time I was able to share with her, and I only wish we all could get just a little more time with her, and I am so entirely grateful for her presence in my life. I can still hear her laughter, and see her wiping the tears off of my face, telling me to quit being so serious.
I am going to miss you so much, Lindsay Renee. You meant so much to so many.
Fly free, sweet angel.
Cynthia Folsom Mason says

There are no words that can express the sadness in my heart for Lindsay Rene’s family. I smiled a bit at the photo, as it was one I took of her as we took a drive out to Wawawai Park for the afternoon. Lindsay Rene and I often took drives after having one of our weekly lunches. She was always mindful of what the special was at Jollymore’s restaurant, one of her favorite places to eat, naturally to keep the cost down. 🙂 At that particular stop, on our way to the park, before we hit the road again she found a small oh maybe 5 or 6 inch piece of wood. It had a definite shape, and she asked me who does this look like? I thought about it for a few seconds and then it came to me; it looked like the tree figure from Guardians of the Galaxy. She was so delighted that I saw it, her smile went ear to ear. With that, she said, I now needed to keep him(s) in the car and take him(s) with me everywhere I went. There was no point in arguing about it.
While driving our conversations were all over the place, from her talking about her cat Bootsy, to talking about Justin’s dog Trapper and how he would help her up and down the front steps to the house. We shared a lot of stories of our of youth and adult lives. Of all the stories we shared the one that bonded us the most (and we talked about the most, perhaps an omen)) was experiencing the loss of a loved one. Lindsay Rene losing her dear friend Derek Reed, and me losing my first wife at the age of 30 to cancer. Then silence. After a minute or two she would ask me if I would miss her if she died. I would look at her and say that’s not going to happen anytime soon, so don’t even think about it. Silence. But would you miss me? Of course I would, and so would Justin, all of your friends here and back in Helena and most of all your family would miss you. We would have many conversations about this and each time the lines were the same except now. I do miss you Lindsay Rene, and I would give anything to hear you ask me; are you sure?
You had a heart of gold when you had no gold to give, and you were always worried about others, no matter how difficult your own situation was. You can now sing your songs with the angels. I’m sure there is a civic theater in heaven.
I miss you dear friend, Love always Nick
