In Loving Memory of Erin Davis

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Erin Davis, who passed away on June 5, 2025.

Erin’s journey with the Victoria Disability Resource Centre began in August 2008, when she was hired to provide administrative support for the newly launched Personal Supports Centre. She quickly became an integral part of the team, going on to serve as the Information & Referral Coordinator, where she provided care, guidance, and compassion to countless individuals.

In 2014, Erin stepped away to focus on raising her family, but her connection to the Centre never faded. We were fortunate to welcome her back in 2022, when she returned with renewed energy and passion to help develop and lead two of our most meaningful programs: Lived Experiences Around Disability (LEAD) and Disability Inclusion & Awareness Training (DIAT).

Erin was instrumental in shaping both programs, bringing creativity, integrity, and a thirst for learning to everything she did. She especially loved presenting in schools, where her talent for engaging students shone brightly. Through imaginative and hands-on activities, she gave students powerful, real-world insight into what it means to live with a disability—always delivering sessions with warmth, humour, and a remarkable ability to connect.

Though she often said that speaking in front of groups was something she never imagined doing, Erin became a natural. Her thoughtful, respectful, and often funny approach left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of learning from her.

Erin had an incredible work ethic and a gift for collaboration. She was admired by all who worked with her—not just for her professionalism and insight, but for her kindness, humour, and the joy she brought to the workplace. She treated everyone with respect and left each person feeling seen and valued.

While we are heartbroken to lose her, we will forever be grateful for the time we shared. Erin’s impact on our team, our volunteers, and the broader community will not be forgotten.

Our deepest condolences go out to her two children, and to all of her family and friends. She was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed.

With love and remembrance from all of us at  Victoria Disability Resource Centre.
