Nov 23, 1950 – Jul 6, 2025
Roy Alton Davis, age 74, passed July 6, 2025 in Denton, TX. He was born November 23, 1950 in Big
Springs, TX to parents Wayne and Thelma Davis. He is proceeded in death by both of his parents and mother-in-law Wanda Cooper.
He is survived by his wife, Linda Davis, and was married for 42 years. They have 3 children; daughters
Delinda Davis and Beverly (Bryan) Ewing, and son Wayne (Courtney) Davis. Granddaughters Elissa,
Jenna, Bailee, and Nikki White, grandsons Isaac and Simon Ewing, and Truman Roy Davis, and great
granddaughter Lyla White. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, LaDonna Earley, Aunt Opal Vide, and
Kenai, his favorite dog.
Roy moved around often through his childhood with his father being a Preacher. Roy followed in his
fathers steps by serving as a pastor, and working in law enforcement. Roy earned his associates degree from Ranger Jr. College. He attended Tennessee Temple where he studied music. In Tennessee, Roy
met his "brother" Heavy Montgomery. After College, Roy served as a police officer with several different
communities including as a constable with his father in Harris County. After his time serving, he worked
security for Texas Instruments, Raytheon and Frito Lay. He retired from Frito Lay after 20 years. Roy was
passionate about his spiritual duties, riding motorcycles, singing along at live performances, and doting
on his grandchildren and dog. Roy could be seen at all the Toys for Tots events in North Texas with
Linda, making sure that all children could participate in the Joy and Love of the holiday season.
Roy will always be remembered for his big, friendly laugh that could light up a room. His sense of humor
helped everyone feel welcome. Roy was truly an inspiration to us all as he fought though many different
illnesses in his last years of life, and he never let it dim his smile or cool his handshakes.
Services will be lead by Roger Spears of Kemp Baptist Church.
Pallbearers will be Bryan Ewing, Joe Hammers, David Bemiss, David Maples, Pat Robinson, and Donald Coonard.
Linda, my sincerest condolences on the loss of Roy. He was a great man, and I loved his sense of humor. He will be sorely missed. May God be with y’all during this difficult time.
“Lil Brother,” Gene
