Samantha Davis, actress and activist from the UK, passed away on March 24 at the age of 53. Her husband, Warwick Davis, paid tribute to her memory in a sweet statement expressing all the love, admiration, and gratitude he owed his late wife.

“My wife and soul mate, best friend. Devoted mother, My favourite human. My most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career, has passed,” begins the Harry Potter actor.

“She instilled such confidence in me. With her by my side, I was sure I could achieve anything. It was like having a superpower. Without Sammy, there would have been no Tenable Quiz show, no “Willow” series. No “Idiot Abroad Series 3. (It was her suggestion that Ricky Gervais send me off with Karl — I think she wanted me out of the house for a few weeks!)”

Samantha was also co-founder of “Little People UK”, a charity dedicated to helping individuals with dwarfism and their families. The charity was established in 2012 with the goal of helping build a positive future for individuals with dwarfism.

The Davis children also shared memories of their mother: “Our Mum is the kindest, most inspirational and loving Mumma we could’ve wished for,” they stated. “No matter the time or place, she was there to answer our silly questions, tell us what to do, and to listen when we needed.”

Our thoughts are with the Davis family through these difficult times. We hope Samantha’s kind soul can rest in peace.
