Michael T. Davidson

Michael T. Davidson, 70 of Kirksville, MO passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on Saturday, March 30th, 2024

Born March 30th, 1954 in Ottumwa, IA, Mike was the son of Jimmie M. Davidson and Mary E. (Phillips) Riley. On November 11th, 2017, he was united in marriage to Kandy Yardley who survives.

Mike is survived by his sons, Michael A. (Tom) Davidson and Billy Tingley; Daughters, Christina Fox and Evelyn Davidson; four grandchildren and one great-granddaughter; one sister, Brenda (Bob) Sewell; one brother, Pat (Sherrie) Davidson; and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents.

Mike moved around a lot as a kid but made Kirksville his home when he wasn’t working. Being a truck driver for over forty years and more than five million miles was not only his job but his profession. No doubt many “young ladies” and “young men” across this country smiled as he drove away. Mike was a good-hearted man who had many friends and many beers with those friends.

Mike will surely be missed by the family and friends left behind, but was surely welcomed into Heaven by the family and friends who went before him.

Mike’s wish was to be cremated and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
