John Davenport Obituary
John loved to drive and dedicated his work career for over 25 years at Ross Express as a truck driver. He was also a loyal New England fan and loved to watch the Patriots, Celtics, and Red Sox. John had a fondness for family vacations at York beach. (Lasting memory of him wearing his favorite cowboy hat and boots while sitting on the beach). During the winter seasons, he loved to spend time in the woods hunting and fishing with his son John. Since his retirement, John grew fond of playing cribbage with close friends.
John is also survived by his sister Teresa Earley and brother Gene Davenport. John also had a predeceased sister Linda McKenney. John cherished his grandchildren Alex, Cameron, Brooke, Hunter, Mackenzie, Austin, John King Jr., and Megan. John also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. Everyone was fond of John and the memories he left. He was a very kind person who always put family and friends first.

Dear Ann & Family:
Was so sorry to hear of John's passing.Always had great times with John golfing, going to see the Celtics and Bruins and being in the Jaycees together.
I got to see John in early September at the Nursing Home. Lee Owen told me he was there and we was able to visit him. I am so glad that I did.
May your many memories help you through this sad time.
