Eldon Lynn Davis was born July 9, 1951, at Gainesville, Texas to Mr.
Eldon Bud Davis and Mrs. Oma Ruth (Morton) Davis. He crossed over
Monday, March 4, 2024, at his home south of Wilson.
Lynn was a native of Love County, residing there all of his life. After
graduating high school at Turner in 1970, he was employed with the Love
County Maintenance Barn, driving a truck. On February 2, 1971, due to a
truck malfunction, Lynn suffered the loss of his right leg. Since that
time, he has persevered with determination and true grit and never
considered himself disabled. Lynn welded for Emmitt Morris, drove a bull
wagon, water-skied, ran equipment for Harold Lester, and went endless
miles trapping hogs with his cousin and dear friend, Mike Morton. He
never slowed down, retiring from the Oklahoma Department of
Transportation after 25 years of employment as a mechanic.
Lynn married the former Sue Ann Tucker on July 19, 2002, at the Saint
Andrew Methodist Church in Plano, Texas. They have resided happily south
of Wilson, where you would often find Lynn working in the shop. Lynn was
a member of the Eastman Baptist Church and had been attending worship
services at the First Methodist Church of Wilson.
Preceding him in death is his father, Bud Davis in 1991; grandparents,
Edgar and Sis Morton; stepfather, Wayne Alexander; and stepsister,
Aletra Stuart.
Survivors include his mother, Oma Ruth Davis of Wilson; loving wife, Sue
of the home; daughters, Christi Hallum and husband Lee of Enville, Kim
Richardson and husband Eric of Ardmore, and Staci McKinney and husband
Clay of Marietta; stepdaughter, Kristin Nicholson and husband Jase of

stepbrother, Terry Alexander and wife Ellen of Grand Prairie, Texas;
grandchildren, Dylan, Jade, Kelsi, Hailey, Alice, Paisley, Waylon, Zack
