Oscar C Davis, 87, of Silver City, entered eternal rest Thursday, November 12, 2020, in Las Cruces, after a short illness. He was born in Pima, Arizona on February 1, 1933, to Delwin F. Davis and Doreen Taylor. He grew up in Arizona and married his lifelong sweetheart, Verna Lorett Vice on November 11, 1951. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the LDS Mesa Temple in 1957.

He joined the US Navy in 1951 and served during the Korean War for 4 years on the USS Juneau antiaircraft cruiser. In October 1956 he moved his then small family to Silver City, NM and became the manager of Antennavision Cable TV. He worked as Manager of the Cable TV system in Silver City for 37 years and retired in January 1993. Throughout his career, he was offered the opportunity to relocate to other places to manage a Cable TV system, but he always turned it down because he didn’t want to leave his beloved Silver City.

Oscar was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served in many leadership capacities over the years. He worked with the youth through the Boy Scouts and other youth organizations. He served as Bishop of the Silver City 2nd Ward for 3-½ years and touched the lives of many widows and others in need.
He enjoyed spending time with his family - they were among his prized possessions. There was the traditional deer hunt with his boys every November followed by the trips in December to the mountains in search of the perfect family Christmas Tree. He love to read and always had a stack of books close by.
Before his decline in health, he loved to travel. Because of his leadership roles within the cable TV industry, he was able to travel with his wife to many wonderful locations. He loved traveling to visit children and grandchildren and then in later years, delighted in their visits to Silver City. Many memorable time were had with grandchildren and great-grandchildren roasting hotdogs and s’mores at Little Walnut.
One of his most favorite pastimes involved a fishing pole in hand. He has fished many a river, lake and reservoir. One if his greatest desires was to fish just “one more time” and that was fulfilled in August when his 17 year old grandson took him fishing. 70 years spanned between them but for a few hours, time stood still.

He is survived by his wife, Verna, Silver City; their four children; Robert (Debra), Katy, Texas; Sharon (Max) Whetten, Orem, Utah; Mark (Julie) Davis, Las Vegas, NV; and Deborah (Ted) Hensley, Kennewick, WA; ten grandchildren: Nathan, Philip, Sharlae, Cameron, Russell, Jake, David, Tyler, Jeffrey and Calin; and 15 great-grand children. He is also survived by his brother Wayne (Elene) Davis, American Fork, Utah and his sister Judy Kieffer, Pima, Arizona.

Interment with full military honors will be at Fort Bayard National Cemetery after a private graveside service by the immediate family. Arrangements are with Terrazas Funeral Chapels.
