Comedian Donny Davis Dead at 43: Demi Lovato & More Stars Pay Tribute

“@donnydavis1 was a dynamo, with more confidence than I could ever hope to have,” he captioned his post. “It was impossible to be around him without having a good time. His energy was boundless and he got everything he could out of life with the time he had here. A good lesson for us all.” 

The actor continued, “Miss you already, bud. Rest In Peace and wreak some havoc in heaven. You’re unforgettable.” 

Phillippe also shared what appeared to be multiple text conversations with Davis on his Instagram Story, including one where the comedian seemingly texted him, “Your an animal. I love you. Had such a great time hanging out with you. Friends for ever.”

Lovato and Phillippe were also joined in their mourning by comedian Jeff Ross, who remembered Davis as a “rock star.”

“He was so funny and made so many people happy,” the comedian wrote on Instagram. “I searched my phone for pictures of Donny and these were the only ones I could find where he wasn’t completely naked. I’m gonna miss my beautiful generous friend. My condolences to his family and his big brother.” 

In the comments of Ross’ post, both Paris and Nicky Hilton shared their sadness over the news of Davis’ passing. While Paris shared a broken heart emoji, her sister Nicky commented, “We lost a legend.”
