Corky Davis

Post by Beverly Harris »

My heart is broken having to tell you that our friend, Corky Davis, passed away last night of Covid and pneumonia. He was a wonderful person, great steel player, supportive OSGA member, and a dear friend. We will miss him greatly.

Sad news indeed. One of the best people I ever met.
I always looked forward to his set at the shows, and sitting and talking about cows.
Rest in peace my friend.

This saddens me! I lost my X wife yesterday around 5:30 Friday afternoon to Covid. We were married for almost 30 years. We divorced several years ago but remained friends. I took care of her about 5 days before she had to go to the Hospital. She lived 13 days on a ventilator. Her Right lung collapsed and she was gone about one hour later. Next,Corky Davis was a good Friend. I really liked him. Loved his Steel Guitar playing and music. RIP Corky Davis and Ora Wood.

So sorry about Corky's passing. He was so friendly and so funny. He told me several years ago that he had started out as a guitar player, loved big band, and knew lots of chords. "Then rock and roll hit, and all I needed was three!"

I am so glad that I got to see Corky one last time at the Tulsa show. He was one of the best. He always made you feel better by being around him. Rest in peace Corky.
