Quindrey Davis Obituary, Death – The Spokane Jazz Orchestra (SJO) is mourning the sudden and tragic loss of one of its own, Quindrey “Drey” Davis, who has left a void that will be impossible to fill. Drey, an exceptionally talented drummer, captured the hearts of the SJO audience with his captivating solos and his infectious passion for music. It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of his untimely passing. Drey’s journey with the Spokane Jazz Orchestra began just two short years ago when he made his debut during the December 2021 Christmas concert. From that moment, it was clear that his presence and musical talents would be an invaluable addition to the ensemble.

His performances left an indelible mark on the SJO, inspiring both fellow musicians and the audience. Drey’s musical talents extended far beyond his contributions to SJO. He was a dedicated music teacher at Northwest Christian School, where he inspired countless young musicians with his passion and expertise. He also offered private drum lessons, sharing his knowledge and love for music with students eager to learn. Drey was a pillar of strength for his family, including his wife Allyson, his son Cairo, and their unborn daughter, Rhythm, who is expected to arrive in just ten short weeks.

Tragically, Drey’s journey took an unexpected and devastating turn. After feeling unwell for nearly a year, he finally sought medical attention and received a devastating diagnosis of leukemia. In a matter of days, he began experiencing brain bleeds, leaving us all in shock. It is almost incomprehensible to think that just a week ago, Drey was gracing the stage, playing the drums to the enthusiastic applause of the SJO audience. In his final moments, Drey shared a heartfelt sentiment with Ally’s mother, expressing deep regret for not seeking medical help sooner.

He revealed, “I am so sorry. I was trying so hard to provide for my family that I didn’t go to the doctor.” This selflessness and unwavering commitment to those he loved was a hallmark of Drey’s character.  For those who wish to support Drey’s family during this difficult time, his mother-in-law has established a GoFundMe page. Your contributions will help provide financial stability to Allyson, Cairo, and their soon-to-arrive daughter, Rhythm.

His music will continue to resonate in our hearts, and his legacy will live on through the notes he played and the lives he touched. Drey, you will be greatly missed, but your memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing you.
