The Derbyshire native, famous for his 334lb frame, retired early due to multiple health issues, including kidney complications. After enduring dialysis for years, Davis became a vocal advocate for organ donation following his own transplant in 2009. The cause of his death remains undisclosed.

Amidst the mourning, his close friend Kuldeep Bhardwaj and local councilor Richard McRae shared heartfelt messages online, recognizing Davis's inspirational life and contributions to his community.

Described as a 'gentle giant,' he was beloved for his friendly nature and community involvement. Davis is mourned by his partner Helen Burrows, their daughter, and the extended bodybuilding world.
