James E. Davidson

It is with profound sadness the family of James E (Jim) Davidson announce his passing on 19 February 2023, at the age of 94. Jim was surrounded by love with his family at his bedside during his final breath. While Jim is no longer by our side, he will forever be in our hearts.
Jim was born in Paris, Illinois to Clifford and Zella (Knight) Davidson. He proudly served his country by enlisting in the U. S. Army, along with three of his high school buddies. He attained the rank of Sergeant, and was awarded the WW II Victory Medal, as well as the Army of Occupation Medal – Japan. Jim and his wife of 67 years, Shirley Edwards, moved to Westminster, Colorado, along with his mother, shortly after they wed. Together they raised two loving children, his daughter Cindy, married to Craig, and his son Alan, married to Nita. Jim was a Data Processor and retired from the Sunstrand Corporation, and later worked for Lange Ski Company.. He spent time with love and support with his 13 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren.
Jim was a man of few words, but if you listened to him speak, he wouldn't hesitate to share words of wisdom. He loved his family and was never too busy to offer a helping hand and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. Jim loved everything western, playing golf, taking drives in the mountains, traveling, and being with his family. He left a lasting legacy on family values, selflessness, investing in those he cared for, and how to provide for his wife and children. Jim was a lifetime member of Prairie Lodge #77, Paris, Illinois. He volunteered for two of his granddaughters during their time in Job's Daughters.
Sgt James E Davidson will be interned at Ft Logan National Cemetery on Monday, 6 March 2023, at 10 am, at staging area A.
In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. (nationalmssociety.org)
