Fred Reece

Davis

With deep sorrow and loving remembrance, we announce the passing of Fred Reece Davis on June 8, 2026, a devoted husband, dad, grandpa, and all around amazing man.

Born on January 12, 1950, in Vernon Texas, to Jacob and Berlista Davis. Fred's favorite past times were being outdoors hunting and fishing. His fondest memories were doing just that as a young boy, on his Aunt and Uncle's farm, to sharing his love for both with his family and friends. Fred retired from Southwestern Bell after 30 years to spend more time with the people he loved doing the things he enjoyed.

But while hunting and fishing were his passions, nothing compared to the love he had for his wife of 32 years, Marilene. She was the center of his world, his greatest adventure, and the love of his life, Their marriage was a beautiful example of devotion, partnership, and unconditional love. And though Marlene preceded him in death, he carried her memory in his heart every day. Those who knew Fred knew that while he enjoyed many things in life, nothing meant more to him than his family.

He was a man of integrity, strength, and kindness. He taught those around him the value of patience, respect, and the importance of spending time with the people you love. His wisdom, humor, and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Fred was preceded in death by his cherished wife, Marilene Boatman Davis; his parents; his brothers, Elery and Michael.

He will be forever missed and lovingly remembered by his children Rhonda Hertel (Greg) of Seymour, Ronny Robertson of Burkburnett, Dana Taylor (Raul) of Mansfield, and Lesli Price (Erik) of Wichita Falls; his adored grandchildren Brittney, Rocky (Tayler), Tyler, Reece (Kera), Meredith, Parker, Paige (Sam), Gavin (Megan), and Madison; his great grandchildren, Jaxton, Brixton, Collins, and Presley; sister in law and brother in law Glenda and Primo Galvez, sister in law Mary Boatman, cousin Sylvia, and many very special nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Hospice of Wichita Falls in his honor.
