Rick Davies Obituary

Few are the popular musicians who touch us as deeply in old age as youth but Supertramp fans benefited from the depth of Rick and Roger's inspired lyrical messages that grow in meaning as our outlook progresses, widens, deepens. Supertramp music is perhaps the only collection I can't overplay, never had to set aside for rejuvenation, across half a century. Long Way Home still transports me across time and Downstream remains a favorite love song. Vale Rick and condolences to family, band, friends."

May you rest in peace Mr. Davies. You left us mortals richer indeed with a bountiful catalog of music. Thank you for your contribution to the soundtrack of our times, which will continue to delight future listeners as long as they have ears.

Heartfelt sympathy to Rick´s family and friends. May Almighty God comfort you all in the coming days, months and years.

No Thanks is great enough to offer you and the profound music in all it's soul,insight and memorable themes bestowed among us all !
Bloody Well Right ! Sail on in peace and contentment !!

Rick Davies was a life saver for me, Thank you Rick, Thank you for your beautiful voice

Thank you Rick for accompanying my coming of age with your edgy yet comforting music. You will always remain in my heart and my headphones. Peace!

I am so very sad to hear of Ricks' death. He was an incredibly talented and naturally gifted musician who was solely responsible for the keyboard which is immediately identifiable with his famous group and used by many groups afterwards. Wonderful strong voice too. A lovely man who enjoyed jazz, especially Horace Silver. Thank you Rick....Swindon is in mourning.

One of my all time favorite bands, the legacy Rick , leaves behind, is amazing, his talent and music, will live forever, Thank You for Entertaining , the world with song, and the privilege of writing my thoughts on the legacy.

The world lost a beautifully talented musician and person. Rick and Roger have had a profound affect on my life. Their music often got me through difficult times. Rick will be sorely missed. RIP Rick!

My sincerest condolences to Sue. It was a pleasure meeting Rick, a great guy and terrific musician. RIP

To the family, friends and fans please accept my most sincere condolences for this huge loss of such an amazing talent. We grew up with the sounds and music of Supertramp. They became the soundtrack of our coming of age into this world as teenagers and also later as adults. His unmistakable voice and talent will be cherished for years to come. May God grant you all His peace through saving faith and eternal salvation through belief in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Such a wonderful musician, such a wonderful man, we enjoyed every moment we spent with Rick and Sue. Lucy and Steve Cookson

His music will forever be in the memories of all who knew him and this will bring comfort. As our Heavenly Father will also give you comfort through his word the Bible.

So sad to hear.

So sad to hear. Supertramp will always have a deep place in my musical memories. Breakfast album was one of my favorites all time and I saw Rick at the Universal Amphitheater in LA when I was a teen back in the late eighties. Even after they had parted as a band Rick was still epic and the band sounded awesome. God bless the family as they mourn.
