Mr. Donald Ray Davidson, age 77 of Dickson, TN passed from this life on April 17, 2023 at his home, with family by his side.  He was born on January 27, 1946 in Montgomery County.  He was a son of the late Walter Levi Davidson and Mary Williams Davidson.  Don graduated from Charlotte High School in 1964 and joined the National Guard as a corpsman, serving his country for six years.  He worked in construction most of his working life, beginning with his beloved father-in-law’s plumbing business, Clyde Clifton & Sons.  He retired as a superintendent for Chase Construction.  Don loved carpentry and woodworking, both of which he truly had a gift for.  He made countless items from wood for friends and loved ones that are now precious heirlooms, but the greatest love of his life was his family.  He lived by two mottos: “work smarter, not harder” and “there is always room for ice cream!!” 

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters, Nany Long and Judy Hughes; and a brother, Randy “Buck” Davidson. 

Don is survived by his wife of 55 plus years, Martha Clifton Davidson; daughters, Lisa “Punkin” Davidson of Dickson, TN, and Diane “Tooter” (Chuck) Klein of Dickson, TN; his brother, Phil (Sheila) Davidson of Dickson, TN; one nephew that he considered his grandson, Mason Clifton; and several other nieces and nephews.
