Harold Martin DavisBurlington, KS

Harold Martin Davis joined his Lord on April 8, 2026, at Providence Medical Center in Kansas City, Ks.

He was born August 18, 1949, in Hominy, Ok, to Robert “Bob” Davis Jr. and Martha Ruth (Oberly) Davis. Harold was the second oldest of eight children and a proud member of the Osage Tribe.

He attended Hominy Public Schools, graduating in 1967. During his school years, he was highly athletic, participating in basketball, football, wrestling, and track. He continued his education at Northern Oklahoma College, Central State University, and Haskell Indian College, later earning a bachelor’s degree in Radiation Science from Oklahoma City University.

While attending Central State University, Harold met the love of his life, Rhonda Robinson. They were united in marriage on May 20, 1972, in Edmond, Ok.

His nuclear career took them to Idaho Falls, Id, where he worked at Aerojet Nuclear. During their time there, their first daughter, Amber Dawn, was born. Harold’s career then took the family across the country, working at nuclear plants primarily along the East Coast. Eventually, they settled in New Strawn, Ks, where he worked in Radiation Protection at Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant for nine years. Their second daughter, Adrianne Danielle, was born in Emporia, Kansas. In 1989, Harold returned to traveling, working outages at nuclear plants throughout the United States. He retired in 2021 after an extensive career in the nuclear field.

Harold deeply loved his family and enjoyed watching college sports, especially Oklahoma teams. He enjoyed camping, spending time in the mountains, and relaxing by a good campfire. He took the family on vacations from coast to coast. Later in life, he was blessed with three granddaughters, whose many activities he attended with pride. He also loved to make people laugh, often teasing people & assigning nicknames to anyone he knew.

He was a member of the New Strawn Community Church & also streamed the First Baptist Church of Hominy online.

He is survived by his wife, Rhonda, of Burlington; daughter Amber Presley (Doug Rohrer) of Burlington; and three granddaughters: Brylee Davis of LeRoy, Carrigan Presley (Chisolm Woodson) of Melvern, and Camryn Davis (Brendan Devening) of Burlington. He is also survived by his brothers, Fi Davis (Karen) of Hominy, Ok, and Billy Davis of Hominy, Ok; sisters, Jewell Purcell (Homer) of Hominy, Ok, and Delores Davis of Hominy, Ok; brother-in-law Lewis Robinson (Brenda) of Bridge Creek, Ok; sisters-in-law Brenda Davis and Debbie Davis, both of Hominy, Ok; nephews & nieces Brad Shepherd, Christel Jones, Stephanie Davis, Chelle Lookout, Daniel Adams, Charles Wheeler, Michael Davis, Aiden Callaway, Brittany Davis, Jocelyn Hipp, Jared Davis, Mark Davis, Stetson Davis, Jordan Davis & Cyndi Smith; honorary daughter Amie Mireles, Olathe; step-father of two of his granddaughters Bill Haughton, Ottawa; numerous family members, and friends.
