Allen V. Davis

Allen Vincent Davis, aged 71 of Ponca City, Oklahoma, died January 1, 2024 after complications caused by a series of TIA strokes. Allen was born January 20th, 1952 in Blackwell OK to Milo and Edna Davis. He was their third son of four—Milo, Dwayne, Allen, and Larry. He graduated from Blackwell High School in 1970. At the age of 19, Allen married Cynthia Jane Horinek of Blackwell on January 29, 1971. In April, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. By the end of July, his son Keith was born. While in the Navy, Cindy gave him another son, Micheal Davis. Allen was honorably discharged on August 1, 1977. Allen earned an associates degree in electronics technology from Northern Oklahoma College in 1979. He began his electronics career with Control Data in Oklahoma City making magnetic storage devices. After 20 years in private electronics, he changed careers to photography which he continued for the next 8 years. In 1999, Allen and Cindy moved to the Northwest and settled in the Fox Island and Gig Harbor areas outside of Seattle. Allen returned to electronics in the late 2000’s as a consultant to Microsoft. On Feb 13, 2013, Allen lost Cindy to a ruptured brain aneurysm. In 2014, he left Microsoft and the Northwest to return to Blackwell briefly before moving to Florida. Allen then returned to Kay county Oklahoma and settled in Ponca City—less than 30 minutes away from Blackwell. In early 2023, Allen’s untreated TIAs had begun to impact his health dramatically. He suffered various aspects of dementia, atrophy of his upper body, and was prone to falls. Allen was placed in a nursing home in Blackwell in July 2023. This provided the constant care he needed. It also allowed his brother Larry to visit him daily which Larry did with much love and patience. Allen died in the early hours of January 1, 2024 at the age of 71. Allen is survived by his 2 sons, Keith and Micheal; 5 grandchildren, Emily Goodart, Kathryn Carey, Nicholas Davis, Brianna Davis, and Beau Davis; 2 brothers, Milo Davis, and Larry Davis. He is predecessed by his parents Milo and Edna Davis; his wife Cindy Davis of 42 years; and his brother Dwayne Davis. His desire was to be cremated and to have his ashes mixed with Cindy’s. They are to be buried at sea near Seattle where many of their favorite memories were made.
