Dennis Denver Davis, 66, of Oliver Springs, passed away Thursday, March 7, at his home at 145 Patricia Lane in Oliver Springs following a long battle with cancer.

Dennis was born Aug. 10, 1946, in Oliver Springs. He was the son of Charles and Louise Davis, now both deceased.

Dennis is survived by his wife of 46 years, Patricia Ann Davis; his daughter, Shellia Ann Lane and husband Floyd Lee Lane of Oliver Springs; by a son, Steven Davis of Oliver Springs; and three grandchildren, James Floyd Lane and Peggy Anne Lane, both of Oliver Springs, and Margaret Denice Ally Davis of Kingston.

He is also survived by four brothers, Carl Ray Davis and wife Mary of Kingston, Mitchell Davis and wife Elaine, Wayne Davis and Alford Davis, all of Oliver Springs; and two sisters, Joann Lampton and husband Howard of Knoxville, and Judy Hypes and husband Howard of Montgomery, W.V.

In addition to his parents, a sister and six brothers—Glenda Davis, Ronnie Davis, Kenny Davis, Clifford Davis, Jack Davis, Dale Davis, and Harold Davis—died earlier.

A graveside service was held at 4 p.m. Friday, March 8, at the home. “P.J.” Paul Jackson said a few words and granddaughter, Peggie Lane, recited a poem for her grandfather.

No other services will be held. Sharp Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
