Curtis A. Davidson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Curtis A. Davidson 1941 - 2020 Curtis A. Davidson, of Napa, passed away Thursday, July 23, at the age of 78. Curtis died peacefully with his son Frank by his side. Curtis was born September 10, 1941 the son of the late William Curtis and Mary Ruth Maxwell Davidson in Quanah, Texas. Curtis moved to Napa with his family in 1951 where he attended local schools and graduated from Napa High School. Following in the footsteps of his father and close uncles, Curtis began a career as a painter. He worked in the valley for more than fifty years as a painting contractor operating first as Valley Color Craft and finally Curtis Davidson Painting. A loving family man, Curtis supported his sons and grandchildren in their sporting endeavors serving as a Pop Warner coach, scout leader, and volunteer, while in his spare time he enjoyed listening to bluegrass music and trout fishing near Putah Creek and Lake Berryessa. A proud, adoring Grandpa, he once related his blessings by remarking “ I drink my coffee from a saucer, ‘cause my cup has overflowed!” Curtis was preceded in death by his beloved parents, his brothers Sonny and David, and his wife Martha Davidson. He is survived by his sister Peggy Howard of Fairfield; three sons: Ron Davidson, Frank Davidson (Melody), and David Davidson; all of Napa; grandchildren: Danielle (Michael), Rebecca, Jordan (Staci), Benjamin (Jordan), Daniel, Matthew and Rachel; and eight great grandchildren: Haylee, Joshua, Lyla, Sadie, McKenna, Lillian, Jaycob, and Matthew. Also surviving are Curtis’ first wife and mother of his sons, Darlene Davidson—with whom he remained friends throughout the years, and daughter-in-law Gwen Davidson. The family wishes to express their gratitude for the loving care Curtis received from the doctors and nurses at the Queen of the Valley Medical Center—especially from his grandson Jordan; and to those from both Collabria Care and Suncrest Hospice organizations. The family asks that memorials be made to your local hospice. Due to current restrictions, an “open air” celebration of life will be held 11:00 am Saturday, August 1, on the grounds of New Life Napa, 2625 First Street in Napa. Those attending are encouraged to wear masks and offer each other appropriate distance as they gather to celebrate the Davidson Family’s dear “Dad, Papa, and Buddy”. Treadway & Wigger Funeral Chapel is serving the Davidson Family.
