Colten Ethan Davis, 31, a resident of Andrews, TX entered eternal rest Monday, March 16, 2026 at Permian Regional Medical Center in Andrews, TX.  He was born July 19, 1994 in El Paso, TX to Darrell Wayne and Janis Charlene (Garner) Davis.  For a short 19 months he was the center of their world before welcoming his little brother, Cordell Davis into their family.  Through their childhood they were inseparable and were truly best friends up until the time of Colten' passing. Colten passed away unexpectedly due to a medical event on March 16th.  He is leaving behind a legacy of deep and unwavering love.

Colten was a mischievous little boy that soon turned into a mischievous grown man! If you knew Colten from 4-H Rodeos, FFA, Church or Cliff School functions you would know that Colten was always up for a prank or a good laugh.  He loved every trip he took that he could share his passions for FFA and making memories with the scores of friends he met along the way.  Many of these were friends that stayed in contact even after that journey had ended.

Colten married his devoted and loving wife, Diana (Cook) Davis in March 2023.  Through their love and cherished time on this earth they were blessed by God to have a son, Quincy Davis in March 2024.  Their son was truly the largest blessing of their lives.  Diana and Quincy were the center of his world.  The birth of his son was truly what transformed Colten from a boy to a man.
