Tony Davis

Anthony “Tony” Lynn Davis passed away in the presence of his Savior on the late afternoon of Saturday, February 7, 2026. He was born as Buddy Don Herring on April 29, 1959, to Almeta Mae (Gail) Herring in Dallas, Texas. He is joyfully welcomed into Heaven by his parents and his brother, Tommy Joe Davis. For the first years of his life, it was just Buddy and his mom. In 1966, Gail married Mac Harold Davis. Shortly afterward, Mac adopted Buddy, and together they chose a new name—Anthony Lynn Davis. From that day forward, he was known as Tony. After graduating high school, Tony enlisted in the United States Navy. He carried the values he learned there—honor, responsibility, and compassion—into every season of his life. His strong work ethic was evident not only in his service to his country and his beloved State of Texas, but also in the HVAC industry, where he faithfully served for over 35 years. In his last ten years before retiring from Willard Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical on June 27, 2026, Tony touched countless lives in a quiet but powerful way. Faith and family were the cornerstone of Tony’s life. As a devoted member of Life Pointe Church, he answered God’s call to ministry and became an ordained minister through Interfaith Church, a role he faithfully embraced for 34 years. He served in many capacities—pastoring, teaching, worship leader, praise team member and simply being present. Whether through formal ministry, friendship, or small acts of kindness, Tony sought to meet people where they were, love them as they were, and always point them to Jesus. Tony also had a deep love for music. He was a gifted writer, player, and singer, and music became one of the purest expressions of his heart. His songs carried his faith, his joy, and his tenderness, and he shared them freely with those who needed encouragement or a reminder of God’s goodness. For many years, Tony was also involved in motorcycle ministry, which combined several of his great loves—riding, fellowship, and sharing the hope of Christ. On the open road and among fellow riders, he found a unique mission field. He offered prayer, listening ears, and genuine friendship, bringing light into places that were often overlooked. Tony will be remembered for his servant’s heart, his steady presence, and the deep love he poured into his family, church, and community. His legacy lives on in the many lives he touched with his kindness, humility, and unwavering faith. Tony’s memory and legacy will be carried on by his beloved wife of 38 years, Cyndi Davis; his daughter, Margarett Chaves Davis; his sisters, Debra and husband Jeffery; Sandra and husband Danny; and Kim Davis; as well as his cherished in-laws, Charles Chaves and wife Willena, and Carron Bobien and husband Walter. He was deeply loved by his nieces, nephews, and his great-niece and great-nephew, Graham and Ivy Jean, along with a host of extended family and friends who will forever cherish his memory. Well done thou good and faithful servant. A funeral service for Tony will be held on Saturday, February 14, 2026, at Life Pointe Church at 12 p.m. with visitation the hour prior.
