Troy-Mary-Sam, During this tough time, it is best to dwell on what a hero and true patriot your father was. You know that I am always bragging about my service time, but it pales in comparison with his. There aren’t many like him left. He has left us a great legacy.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Davenport Family. May you find healing and peace and may the joy that Mr. Davenport brought to all of you be his living legacy and memory.
We were deeply saddened to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. May your memories give you strength.
For many years our paths in life ran side by side,we worked many hours together,we traveled many miles together,we shared many of lifes trials and tribulations and had common friends and in doing so created many memories,some good some not so good but still memories some only the two of us could enjoy,May he rest in the peace of God
Troy, Kris,& Lisa, Sorry to hear of the loss of your father, my friend. In my book he was a GREAT guy and devoted sailor. My prayers will be for him and you. God Bless
We both are so sorry to hear of the loss of your Father and Grandfather. Dave was a sailor through and through and we will cherish our memories of the Naval Reserves in Pueblo. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Ken and T.J. Ogawa
It was obvious to me that Dave was very proud of his service to the military. The fact that he left us on Veteran’s Day will remind me of him every year on this special day. May God’s Spirit be with the Davenport Family during this time of grief.
