Darrell Dean
Davenport was born July 11, 1937 in Merced, CA. He went home Saturday evening,
March 20, 2015. He was welcomed there by Jesus Christ, his beloved wife, Eunice
Oliphant Davenport, his parents Roy and Bessie Davenport and many, many others.
Darrell served his country in the U.S. Air Force for six years. After returning
to Norman he tried out several different occupations and finally found his niche
at Tinker Air Force and retired from there after 25 years. He then became a hay
farmer, growing and cutting hay on many places around southern Cleveland
County. Finally, he decided he wanted to do more fishing so he and Mom bought a
little place down at Lake Texoma to where they could escape whenever they
wanted.
Darrell didn’t attend church services very often, but we could often find him
studying God’s word. He knew God was NOT finished with him yet. After our Mom
died he started going back to church. He joined Mead Baptist Church down by
Lake Texoma and made many friends there. But this recharged faith made Dad even
more determined to “go be with momma”.
But for now we are left behind: Dad’s brother and his wife, David and JoAnn
Davenport of Mead, Oklahoma; his daughter and her husband, Valarie and Robert
Harshaw of Oklahoma City, his son and wife, Jeffrey and Kim Davenport of Norman
and Dad’s baby girl, Phyllis Davenport of Norman and Darrell’s sister-in-law and
her husband, Dean and Lena Minnick of Nacogdoches, Texas. Grandchildren are
Michelle McMahon with her daughter Rebekah, Daniel and Victoria Dillon, Jason
Davenport and Sarah Harshaw. Also left are nephew and his wife, Matt and Kelly
Minnick of Houston, TX, nieces Sara Siegfried and Lara McClure, and nephew and
his wife Lee and Toni Trammel of Durant, OK. And if you were to open a seed
packet of petunias and look inside, you’d get an idea of the number of cousins,
Dad has.
Darrell will be sorely missed by all but we rejoice at his homegoing.
