Victor Davenport

Victor Glenn Davenport, age 69 of Buchanan, passed away Monday, November 9, 2026.  Born in Cedartown, Georgia, on February 9, 1957, he was the son of Charles W. Davenport and the late Della Mae Dollar.  

A loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend, Victor loved life.  A 1974 graduate of Haralson County High School, he continued his education at Carroll Technical College, now West Georgia Tech, earning a degree as a tool & die machinist.  Victor worked at U.S. Can for many years and then was employed for 17 years as a machinist for Delta TechOps Dept. 300, where he retired in March. He was a supportive baseball Dad and spent many years as an Assistant Scout Master with the Tallapoosa Boy Scout Troop #123.  An avid outdoorsman, Victor could be found canoeing down the Tallapoosa River or riding his Harley every weekend. He was a member of the Smokey Mountain Chapter of AMCA and Two Dogs MC, where he developed many lifelong friendships.  His beautiful smile and loving spirit will be missed deeply by all who knew and loved him.

Left to cherish his memories are his beloved wife of 45 years, Barbara Reeves Davenport; his children, Nathan & Morgan Davenport, Victoria & Bryce Wrenn, and Misty Allen, all of Buchanan; his parents, Charles and Judy Davenport of Bowdon; and his brother Larry Davenport of Buchanan.  Also surviving are his precious grandchildren who lovingly called him "Pawpaw," Tate Wrenn, Berkleigh Padgett, Breighlyn Billingsley, Destin Postell, Decklyn Postell, Mason Wilson, Macy Wilson, and Triston Graham; two great-grandchildren; and many extended family and friends.

A celebration of life for Victor will be held on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM from Hutcheson's Memorial Chapel with Reverend Butch Tant officiating.  Following the service, he will be laid to rest at Hollywood Cemetery in Tallapoosa.
