Obituary For Thomas Davenport III

THOMAS FRANKLIN DAVENPORT III, affectionately known as "Buddah”, was born to Thomas F. Davenport, Jr. and Mary Nell Davenport in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Buddah, a 2005 graduate of Harrisburg High School, was known for his generous heart, joyous smile, widespread knowledge and being a jokester. He truly enjoyed spending time with family and friends, being a person who could brighten anyone's day with his infectious smile. He enjoyed listening to music, fishing, cooking and his beloved Dallas Cowboys football team. He also prided himself on being a man grounded in his faith, husband, father and provider.

On Friday, September 13, 2024, at the age of 38 years, Buddah transitioned from labor to reward in his childhood home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on his only daughter’s 5th birthday.

Buddah was preceded in death by his son, Franklin; his sister, Natasha; his grandfather, Thomas Davenport, Sr.; his grandmother, Pearl; his aunts, Willa Mae and Benzina and he is survived by his wife, Sade', Sr.; his children, Ty'Marion, Kha'Dir, Ky'Rie and Sade' Jr.; his sisters, DaShauna and Darnise and most of all his loving grandmother, Celia Mae who reared him to be the man he was; his aunts, Mertha of SC, Lillie of NY, Lenora, Grace and Gloria; his uncles, Kim, Kent and Alex; his nieces, Aarion, Neii'Lajaziah, Ziohne'; his nephews, Tehnaje', Christien and Josyah; as well as a host of family and friends near and far.

His life will be celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, September 27, 2024 in the Sanctuary of The Greater Zion Missionary Baptist Church, 212 N. Progress Avenue, Harrisburg with visitation from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. and burial in Blue Ridge Memorial Gardens.

This is so heartbreaking 💔 My condolences to Grandmom Celia, family and friends. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers.
Buddha was a good person, who I watch grow up. He had a good heart with an old man soul. He had a smile that would brighten up the room with those bright eyes and dimples. He would check on me to make sure I was okay.
Rest In Heavenly Peace Buddha. I know you and my Dad will be cheering for the Dallas Cowboys from heaven.
