Taylor Alexander Davidson

Taylor Alexander Davidson (July 1, 1998-March 14, 2018) was the first-born son of Brian and Kim Davidson, the big brother of Jackson and the first grandchild of John and June Davidson and George and Claudia Veitch.

Taylor was a Scout from first grade as a Tiger Cub until he achieved the rank of Life Scout. He graduated from Arnold High School a year early and then attended Haney Technical Institute and became a welder and member of the Boilermakers’ Union.

He was an amazing and talented artist who loved to draw, especially animé characters. His constant sarcasm and wit were unparalleled, except by his big heart. TD would spend his own money on groceries for the homeless that he would deliver to their camps or on the street. He loved strongly and was a fierce and loyal friend to a fault. Taylor could never turn his back on his friends and family and was always there to lend a hand with any task or chore without complaint, grievance or expectation of reward or payment. He was a defender of the family and his loved ones. A better son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend could not be asked for.

Taylor is survived by his parents, Brian and Kim Davidson; younger brother Jackson; grandmother June Davidson; grandparents George and Claudia Veitch; great-grandmother Margaret Marcrum; aunt and uncles Leslie and Jeff Crowe, Brittany Veitch, David and Jenni Veitch and Marshall and Shanda Davidson; cousins Hannah Crowe, Emily Crowe, Mackenzie Veitch, Kaylea Sisson, John David Veitch, Michael Veitch, Allysa Dixon and Will Dixon; and great-aunts and uncles, cousins and friends, all whom he would do anything for.

Out of respect for Taylor there will be no viewing or service. Taylor would have hated either. In lieu of flowers or other items, please make a donation in Taylor’s name to the Panama City Rescue Mission, 609 Allen Avenue, Panama City, Florida 32401 or online at www.pcrmission.org.

The family will be receiving friends at their home at 335 Massalina Drive, Panama City, Florida 32401  March 18 from 11 a.m.

Kent Forest Lawn Funeral Home; 2403 Harrison Avenue; Panama City, FL 32405; (850) 763-4694.
