Golfing was one of Craig’s favorite hobbies, and he could often be found perfecting his swing on the greens.

When it came to music, Craig had a soft spot for country music and the soothing melodies of the Beach Boys. These tunes brought him joy and touched his hear t. Craig had a distinguished service record, having served in the Army for 4 years. He bravely served a tour in Vietnam, along with special assignments, demonstrating his unwavering dedication to his country and fellow soldiers. However, nothing brought Craig more joy than trucking. He had an affinity for the open road, par ticularly if he was behind the wheel of a chromed-out Peterbilt adorned with mesmerizing lights. The freedom and adventure of the highway were truly his sanctuary. Spor ts also held a special place in Craig’s hear t. He passionately suppor ted the Boston Red Sox, the New England Patriots, and NASCAR, cheering them on during their victories and standing by them in challenging times. Craig Richard Davidson Sr. will be deeply missed by his loving family and friends. His memory will live on as they remember his warmth, kindness, and unwavering love. May he rest in eternal peace.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to a charity of your choice in Craig’s name. n May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.
