ARTHUR DAVIS Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Alternatives Cremation and Funeral Service - Oklahoma City on Feb. 2, 2026.
Arthur Gerald Davis, age 82, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, passed away on January 31, 2026.

Arthur was a man who lived life with his hands, his heart, and his own set of rules. A carpenter by day and a rebel by night, he spent his life building-not just homes and birdhouses, but a family rooted in loyalty, laughter, and love. His craftsmanship was matched only by his independence and his unmistakable dark sense of humor, which kept those around him laughing and on their toes.

He found peace in life's simple joys: casting a fishing line, working with wood, and spending time surrounded by family. Arthur was deeply family-oriented and took immense pride in the generations that followed him. His presence was steady, warm, and unmistakably his own.

Arthur was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Betty Davis; his son, Danny Davis; two sons-in-law; and one cherished granddaughter.

He is survived by his children, Tonia, Geraldine, Tommy, and Clayton; his three daughters-in-law; 26 grandchildren; and 32 great-grandchildren, all of whom carry forward his legacy of resilience, humor, and heart.

Arthur Gerald Davis will be remembered as a builder, a fisherman, a rebel, and above all, a devoted family man whose love and laughter will echo for generations to come
