Our beloved Daddy, Herbert Hoover Davis, age 95, left his earthly home to advance to his Heavenly home on Wednesday, December 4, 2024. He had a peaceful homegoing. Herbert "H.H." was born September 14, 1929, in Sunkist, Oklahoma to Gertrude Oma (Anderson) and William Ross Davis.
He attended school in Antlers, Oklahoma. On September 22, 1949, he married the love of his life, Reba, whom he affectionately called "Kip". They were married for 62 years and 9 months. To their union was born four children, Deatra, Rickey, Deborah, and Fara.
During his ministry, he and Reba pastored churches in Oklahoma, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and Arkansas. During the time they spent pastoring, they made friends of a lifetime. Many people had stayed in close touch with them throughout their lifetime. They treasured people. His pastoral ministry spanned 42 years, after which he dedicated his life to Evangelism and Foreign Missions to Mexico, Africa, Russia, Vanuatu and five of the Native American Indian Reservations. In his pastime he enjoyed Big Game Hunting in Utah and Colorado and spending time in his woodworking shop where he created many gifts for his friends and family. After his wife's passing in 2012, his neighbors became part of his family. He loved the outdoors hunting and fishing. If you were fortunate enough to spend time with him on his front porch, you walked away with more wisdom and joy for having spent time in his presence. He cherished relationships with his loved ones and the many friends he made worldwide. He was a devoted husband, father, Papa, and brother. Above all, he loved and served faithfully his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
