On March 28, 2022, the world lost one of its best. Shane Michael Davidson's warm smile was like a "Welcome Home," to everyone he met. He was also one of the best carpenters and concrete finishers around. No one knew more about concrete than him. His vast knowledge of everything construction will be sorely missed. As will his plethora of random facts, quotes, movie lines, and his quick wit and humor.
Shane passed peacefully at Whitman Health and Rehab, after a short battle with cancer. He was surrounded by friends & family, while we all listened to the classic rock he loved so much.
Shane was born January 13, 1975, in Portland, OR, to Sherrie Zimmerman, and Michael Holtman. Two brothers, Travis and Josh, followed close behind while the family lived in Coos Bay, Ore. Sherrie moved with her boys to Colfax, WA, where she met and married Bruce Davidson. Shane felt Bruce was the father he always wanted, eventually taking his last name.
He grew up in and around Colfax, riding dirt bikes with his friends, and trying not to get caught for their mis-adventures. He attended Colfax High school but left a year early to get his GED. He hated school, but was always a learner of life. He went to work immediately as a farm laborer and harvest truck driver.
In 1993, Shane met Crystal Flint, in Moscow, through mutual friends, and it was love at first sight for both of them. He moved to Moscow and started working at the U of I with her father, where they built a strong bond. Shane & Crystal lived in Moscow, eventually marrying July 13, 1996, and he became an instant Dad to her son, Samuel.
Shane first took a construction labor job in 1994 and was hooked. He loved being a carpenter and learning everything he could from the masters in the trade. He was a super sponge of construction knowledge and loved teaching others. He was often known to many of the guys as Boss Man or El Jefe.
The family moved to Irrigon, OR in 1997 as Shane had signed on to a large job. Their son, Race, was born in 1999 in Hermiston, OR, and had many special needs. The family moved to Colfax, WA in 2001, to be near family and get their son the medical services he needed. Their daughter, Molly, was born in Colfax later that same year. They moved to Ellensburg, WA for 6 years, and to Pullman, WA in 2011. The family moved to the small, friendly haven of St. John, WA in 2014. His granddaughter, Hazel, came to live with them in 2019. He loved how smart she is, and they loved to mow the lawn together. "Papa made me happy when he smiled."
Shane was a journeyman carpenter, and concrete finisher. He was a master finisher and worked on bridges, treatment plants, fish ladders, schools, hospitals, and more throughout the northwest. He was injured in 2011 and attended WWCC, studying accounting. He worked for a short time for Ace in Pullman, and was known for custom requests and his vast knowledge of tools. Shane could never get used to an indoor job though and returned as a building inspector for a short time for Strata, and later working warranty for Hayden Homes in Pullman. Shane and his wife started CSD Construction in 2018, and he worked all over Whitman County installing windows, hanging cabinets, refurbishing Rooster Ranch in Lancaster, WA, and finally building a large custom home in Garfield, WA with his brother, Josh. He was often called upon to help others and solve complex construction problems. He never let a friend down when in need.
Shane loved all things outdoors as you could tell by his year-round raccoon eyes from his sunglasses. He loved camping and fishing with his family, hunting with Molly, and driving the backroads with Race. He was an avid car enthusiast, loving to go to classic car shows, races, and he always had a car project in the works. Shane was a hardcore fan of the Oakland Raiders. He breathed black and silver. "The tuck rule is BS!" He also loved going to concerts with friends, some of his favorite shows were Iron Maiden, White Zombie, Guns n Roses, and Judas Priest.
His final year battling cancer, he did it side by side and hand in hand with his devoted wife. They did a little bit of traveling and loved spending every second of every day together.
Shane is survived by his wife, Crystal Davidson, of St. John, WA; son, Samuel Grimm, and granddaughter, Hazel, of St. John, WA; son, Race, of Spokane; daughter, Molly (Samantha Freeman) of Pullman. His mother, Sherrie Novak (Michael) also of St. John, WA; brothers, Travis Holtman (Jandi) of CO, Josh Davidson (Angie Jones) of Moscow, ID; and sister, Savannah Chacon (Alvaro) of Coos Bay, OR. He also leaves nephews, Shawn Davidson, Joey and Carter Holtman, and Ricardo Chacon; and nieces, Ariana Holtman, Amber Holtman, Lily Davidson (Tay), Maggi, Brenda, and Estrella Chacon.
Shane was predeceased by his father, Michael Holtman, and his Pops/Dad, Bruce Davidson.
A private memorial service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Shane Davidson memorial fund at P1FCU or to the Ronald McDonald house.
