Austin Davidson, 19, Syracuse passed away Friday, April 27, 2018, at Goshen Hospital. He was born Oct. 8, 1998, in Warsaw to Jason and Alicia (Wilson) Davidson.

Mr. Davidson was one of a kind with a heart of gold. He had a smile that would light up a room, a witty sense of humor and a contagious laugh. Known for being quite the card shark, he was also a talented athlete. He loved extreme sports of any sort with a passion for cars, motorcycles, wakeboarding and snowboarding. A loyal friend and brother, his “squad” was an important part of his life and held them all near and dear to his heart. Austin Davidson was a soldier in his own battlefield and we thank all of you who consistently stuck by him to help fight to win his war. Our broken hearts will forever feel the emptiness of his absence.

He is survived by his parents: Jason Davidson, Hutchinson Island, Fla.; Alicia (Steve Helton) Davidson, Syracuse; brother, Spencer Davidson, Syracuse; paternal grandparents: Ken and Carolyn Davidson, Leesburg; maternal grandparents: Mike and Cindy Spencer, Summitville; Don Wilson, Fairmount; step-grandmother: Lourena Helton, Warsaw; great grandfather, Malcolm Case, North Manchester; great grandparents: Gordon (Roberta) Hoheimer, Fairmount; Martha Claxton, Fairmount; aunt, Julie (Dan) Haper, Syracuse; uncle, Mike (Jamie) Spencer, Wolcott.
