November 7, 1961 – September 19, 2012
James “Bo” Davidson of Taunton, MA passed away peacefully at home on September 19, 2012 after a valiant battle with a prolonged illness.
Bo was lovingly cared for at home by his wife Geri. He is also survived by children that he loved dearly – Jacob Davidson and Stephanie Davidson of Hyannis, MA, Jennifer Davidson and Raven Davidson of Middleboro, MA, and grandson Colton Davidson of Harwich, MA. Bo was also a father figure to Alyssa Haggerty of Harwich, MA.
Bo is also survived by his parents, Robert James and Olinda (DaCosta) Davidson of Raynham, MA and four siblings – Lyn O’Leary of Grafton, NH, Mark Davidson of Raynham, MA, Lee Spearin of Bridgewater, MA and Asia Maria Davidson of Bristol, RI. Bo also leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews that cherished and supported him.
Bo attended Bristol-Plymouth Vocational Technical School where he studied carpentry. He was a skilled craftsman and was employed by Cohannet Village before he became ill. He took great pride in his work and generously shared his time and talents to help others.
His family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of the city and medical professionals for their exceptional care and friendship to Bo and Geri. They would also like to express their appreciation to the extended spiritual community of family, friends and acquaintances that kept Bo and his family in their prayers.
Bo’s family and friends all shared mutual, unconditional love. Bo also had a love of Native American culture, nature, especially the ocean and animals, music and Harley Davidson motorcycles. Everyone will miss his kind and generous heart, his compassion for others and his open sense of humor.
To honor his wishes, there will be a private celebration of Bo’s life. A funeral mass will be held at Holy Family Church in East Taunton, MA on Bo’s birthday – November 7, 2012 at 10:00 AM and internment at the convenience of the family.
