Samuel C.

Davis, III

Samuel C. Davis III, 84, was delivered on June 11, 1942 by his grandfather, Dr. Davis in Blanchard, Oklahoma near Walnut Creek. He passed away peacefully on September 28, 2026 surrounded by the love of his family.

Sam graduated from Blanchard High School in 1961 where he played football and showed cattle. After high school he showed horses and had a stud horse business. He devoted his life to the farm where he not only raised and doctored animals, but also built barns, fences, and fixed anything that was broken. He was an avid coon hunter and raised prize coon dogs, bird dogs, and roping horses. He also loved to go fishing on the river, ride horses and motorcycles, and watch bull riding and football.

Sam was a beloved son, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. His presence brought love, comfort and strength to his family and to the many people who were fortunate enough to know him. He would always drop everything to help anyone in need, but the rear chewing was sure to come after. Sam loved entertaining his friends with fish frys and get togethers. He had a funny side and will be remembered for his mischievous spirit and love of laughter. His smile was contagious when he scared someone with a mask, a snake or pet mountain lion, or shocked you with a fake t.v. controller.

Sam made his home and raised his family on Walnut Creek where he was born. They worked together to build a thriving farm, land, and cattle business that included family, friendships, and lasting memories. He continued farming and ranching until retirement.

Those who knew Sam will remember his work ethic, loyalty, sense of humor, sense of pride, teasing manner, and gift of nicknames. He leaves behind a legacy of strong family values and love that will continue through the lives of those who knew and loved him.

Sam is survived by Belva, son Sammy and Kristi, son Tobi and Tonja, daughter Dina and Donnie. Eight grandchildren, Cole, Garrett and Alexis, Garrett and Amy, Rowdy and Shaney, Mason and Drinity, Carson, Lindi and Reagan, Noah and Emily. Great-grandchildren, Avery, Grayson, Lyllie, Graham, Jace, Breckyn, Stevie, Kai, Lyla, Colby, and Baylor.

He was preceded in death by his parents Helen and Joe Davis, sister, JoAnne Auld, brothers, John and George Davis.

A celebration of Sam's life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Eisenhour Funeral Home of Blanchard. Online obituary and guestbook are available at www.eisenhourfh.com.
