Passed away peacefully and surrounded by family February 4th, two days after his 50th birthday, due to complications relating to covid. Eldest son of (the late) Evalds Jermacans and Daina Jermacans, beloved husband and best friend of Andrea Lewandowski, treasured father of Vivian Jermacans, and big brother of Andrew (Arlene), Elizabeth (James), and Laura (Skylar). He will be missed tremendously by multiple nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends.
Davis will always be remembered for his quirky sense of humour, his passion for camping and gardening, his prowess in cooking and creating fermented food and drinks from scratch, his faith in God, his interest in politics and travel, and his larger-than-life love for his precious little girl. Davis was a frequent champion of his family’s annual chili competition, our top choice in the 2014 Ottawa municipal election, and in our hearts, he will forever be King Davis of the Osgoode Medieval Festival.
Friends and Family are invited to visit at Beechwood Cemetery and Funeral Services, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, from 6pm to 8pm on Thursday, February 10, and Friday, February 11. The Funeral Service will be held in the Sacred Space of Beechwood at 1pm on Saturday, February 12. Due to capacity restrictions, guests are invited to reserve their attendance.

I've had the privilege of acting with Davis, working with Davis as a volunteer, and being friends with Davis. The phrase that first comes to mind when I think of him is "gentle giant". Davis was a big man, physically, and even bigger in kindness, generosity and dedication to his family and his community. My heart aches over his loss. Klaus and I are sending wishes for comfort and healing to his amazing wife Andrea, his cherished daughter Vivian, and his entire family.

Our Deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you, Andrea and Vivian and the Jermacans Family. Davis was one of a kind. His huge bear hugs, boisterous laugh, the twinkle in his eyes while spreading a mischievous grin across face, will be greatly missed. We considered Davis family and will hold him in our hearts as family does. We hope that you find peace and comfort, knowing what a huge impact Davis had on so many people. He will be missed and loved always.

Best wishes and sympathies for the family and friends of Davis.
What a loss to his family, his friends and the communitiy. Davis was such a lovely person. He could fill the room with his smile. We remember the times set buiding at ITR where we all hoped Davis was coming because he could easily screw in the top flats without even using a ladder. A gentle giant with a heart of gold. We will miss him. Our deepest condolences to Andrea, Vivian and the family.
