On Sept. 17, 2026 Daniel Conrad Davenport, aka Conrad, passed away peacefully in his Sequim, Wash., home surrounded by his immediate family.

Daniel was born on May 14, 1941 to Thomas and Issabel Davenport in Twin Falls, Idaho. He was the youngest of four children: Edward, Carol and Elaine

His family moved a few years later to Burns, where his father Thomas Davenport worked for the railroad as a telegrapher.  

He graduated from Burns High School in 1959 where he played basketball and was a thespian.

After graduating, he worked a few seasons as a fire scout for the U.S. Forest Service in the local forests. He then went on to serve in the U.S. Army as a combat engineer for three years.

During his time in the Army, he served in Massachusetts, where he met his future wife Marie T. Beauchemin.  He went on to serve 18 months overseas in Germany.

Upon returning stateside in 1967, he married his wife Marie and promptly moved to Portland, where he first worked as a surveyor for a local civil engineering firm before moving into the burgeoning field of computer science with AT&T.

He and his wife, Marie, gave birth to their two sons, Stephen and David in 1968 and 1969 in Portland.

Daniel was transferred to Seattle, in 1970. He raised his family in the Seattle suburb of Lynnwood. He left Qwest in 1990, a spin off of AT&T, to work for a local software company developing software for mainframe computers. His work for the company took him to Europe and Australia where he taught new customers how to use his company’s software.

Daniel was an avid reader and had a keen interest in history, particularly Native American and military. His love of history lead him to chart the Davenport family lineage back in time through the 19th century settlers, the Mormon Trail and relatives who fought in the Civil War and the frontier wars of the late 19th century in the western U.S.

He was known for his quick wit and his kindness towards children. He served as a Boyscouts Scoutmaster, a youth soccer, baseball and basketball coach and a soccer referee.

He was a die hard Seattle Seahawks and Mariners fan.

One of his crowning achievements was riding his bicycle from Lynnwood, Wash. to Burns, in 1984 with his son Stephen.

He was blessed to have visited all 50 U.S. states.

He is preceded in death by his father, Thomas; his mother, Issabel; his sister, Elaine; his brother, Edward; and his sister, Carol.

He is survived by his wife, Marie; his two sons, Stephen and David Davenport; and his grandchildren, Justin Davenport and Ashley Jones.
