Relatives, friends and admirers have been sharing their recollections of the “Scouse storyteller”, who claimed the accolade of Liverpool’s best new comedian of the year back in 2012.
His daughter Olivia Ashworth paid an emotional tribute, saying: “Oh my beautiful dad you are at rest now, I hate that them words have to be said. I really looked forward to what came in the future. Even though I’m filled with memories of a life time, I still had a lifetime or more memories waiting to be made.”, reports the Liverpool Echo.
“You always told me one day I’ll look back on our day outs and times together and appreciate them and say ‘I have a boss dad’ so thank you for dragging me out of my pit on a Sunday to have our dad daughter time. I am so thankful for you dad. Even though I can’t accept what’s true I can still accept I had the best dad in the whole world.
“If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be where I am now. You were such a strong minded, funny man. One thing apart from his family he loved his comedy.
“Hot Water Comedy Club will forever be a important part in his life. I can happily say I got to see my dad doing what he does best and I’m proud of him always and forever. I could say a lot more about the man who made me who I am today but for now goodnight god bless dad till we meet again.”
Tributes continued to pour in from those whose lives Davey had touched. Dionne Mcshane said: “I’ll forever remember him when I have brown sauce on my brekkie. In the words of Davey “what flavour is brown sauce though”. An absolute legend of a man and those who knew him were privileged. Gbnf Davey.”
Gareth Wolstenhulme said: “Had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back, he absolutely smashed a gig I did, a genuinely lovely fella I was lucky enough to meet, so so sad.”
Roz Wicking added: “Sending all my love to your family and loved ones beaut. You are one in a million Davey and it is a true pleasure to have known you. Gone far too soon, rest in peace.”
As news of his passing spread, the Hot Water Comedy Club announced it will be holding a fundraiser comedy night in his honour on Thursday, March 26, with all ticket proceeds going directly to Davey’s family.
