Roy Keith “Pompey” Davis

Houston-Roy Keith “Pompey” Davis, 65, died unexpectedly at his home Friday, November 4, 2022. He was born December 30, 1956, at Houston Hospital, to Roy P. “Pompey” and Barita Davis. He was known as Roy to his military friends, Keith to his mama, wife and family, and Pompey to his local buddies. He was a 100% disabled veteran having retired as a TSGT from the US Air Force in 1994. Keith married the love of his life, Renee Langley Davis, on January 30, 1981, and 14 years later their son Will Davis completed their family.

Keith was a Christian, a loving husband and father, and a true patriot. He was also a true and devoted friend. He kept contact with friends from elementary and high school as well as from military deployments. Following his military service, Keith started his own pest control business, Thorn Pest Management, and he thoroughly enjoyed making his rounds announcing, “Bug Man here!” He closed the business and retired in 2017 due to health issues. He was an active member of South Jackson Church of Christ where his attention to the small details of services will be greatly missed.
