Obit for Darrell posted by Janet Laubhan Flickinger
Jul 11, 1937 - Mar 20, 2015

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.

Thank You For Your Service!
