Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Richard Lee Davenport, 71 of Buckner MO passed away November 19th at Center Point Medical Center from respiratory issues. Celebration of Life will held November 25, 2023, 3 PM – 5 PM at Heartland Cremation and Burial Society, 802 SW Vesper, Blue Springs, MO., 64015. Military Honors will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m.
Rick was a proud Air Force veteran serving in Vietnam but his life’s passion was his family and photography. Rick would take many trips to get the perfect photo shot. Most of these trips he would take with his daughter Sarah traveling to California, Arizona and Texas and National Parks. Enjoying photo workshops, learning from the best and passing along his knowledge to others. Sharing Chiefs football Sundays with his brothers and nephew. He never held back is opinion on any subject even if you thought you were right.
Rick was preceded in death by his parents James and Lila Davenport, sister Denise Lingard and nephews Woody Lingard and Joey Davenport.
Rick left behind his wife Irene, daughter Sarah and grandson Victor Knight, as well as brothers Jim and Troy, sister Patti Klann, a multitude of nieces and nephews, Uncle and cousins.
We will all see you in Heaven My Love, Irene
Irene and family,
I just heard the news today and am so very sorry for this loss.
Rick was an essential part of the Kaizen team at STC. Many MIPI ideas were affectionately measured by the law of “Rick Davenport” math; a measurement similar to the 80/20 rule. When the idea passed Rick’s math, we tried like nobody’s business to implement and make the idea a reality.
I am forever grateful our path’s crossed.
Many condolences,
Cindy
