Gary Miles Davidson

Gary Miles Davidson, 86, of Hardy, passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Born in Jenkins, Kentucky, Gary was preceded in death by his parents, Miles and Sophie Davidson; and sisters, Carla Lynch (Claude), Doris LeGault (Robert), and Janice Wilkerson (Johnny).

Gary proudly served his community as a firefighter with the City of Roanoke. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and waterskiing, but above all else, Gary loved his family.

He was incredibly proud of his sons and their wives, but his grandchildren, Alex and Ben, held an especially precious place in his heart. Gary and his loving wife, Sandy, shared 65 wonderful years together. When reflecting on their life together, his simple words said it all: “It's been fun.”

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 65 years, Sandy Davidson; his sons, Kevin (Sharon) Davidson and Keith (Audrey) Davidson; his beloved grandchildren, Alexandra (Alex) and Benjamin (Ben) Davidson; his sisters, Kay Pearson (Roger) and Helen Hastings (Mike); his special cousin, Bruce (Bobbie) Moretz; and many nieces and nephews.

In keeping with Gary's wishes, a celebration of his life will be held at a later date with family and close friends.
