Davenport has only limited vision in his right eye, the result of a golf accident at a local driving range on November 16, 2002. The setback came during a period in which Davenport had regained a spot in the men's top 10 rankings of the United States Professional Poolplayers Association. "I've been playing well", Davenport said. "But if I never get to play pool again, I've had 17 great years. It's just a bad roll. A nice sunny day that went dark."
Kim and wife Aida have one son and two grandchildren. Today, he and American champion Johnny Archer operate a pool room in Marietta, Georgia named the Marietta Billiard Club.
