Rob started working in radio back on the pirates and was a well-known presenter with Alternative Radio Dublin in the 70s. Most recently he has been broadcasting a love show on 90s Network and on hospital radio.

The 90s Network posted the sad news of his death on their Facebook page. They said: “Today we received the very bad news that our friend and colleague Rob Davis passed away suddenly. Rob was a radio man through and through and loved presenting 90s Love on The 90s Network. We are all in deep shock and are filled with sadness. We would like to say a big thank you to Rob and our sympathies are with the Davis family at this time.”

Phil Fagan, CEO at Dublin Hospital Radio Network and colleague at The 90s Network, writes this tribute: “It is with great sadness that I tell you that one of my good friends and all round great guy Rob Davis has passed away suddenly overnight. Rob always had a warm welcome and he encouraged many presenters who started out on the journey of media and presenting especially during his time at Beaumont Hospital Radio. His radio career stems way back to the ARD days.

“He had a wonderful voice. He was a wonderful talent and most important he was a wonderful person and his family always came first. He was quite content working as a volunteer presenter and his presence will be missed by all who knew him, worked with him and listened to him. My deepest sympathies to his wife Jactina and his son Jordon.

“Rest In Peace Rob”.
