─══ ✿ڰۣڿ✿ Biography ✿ڰۣڿ✿ ══─
Robert Earl Davidson was born on Sunday, 6 February 1944, in Blythe, Riverside County, California. He was the oldest child born to Earl J. Davidson, who was 18 years old and Annie (Harvell) Davidson, who had recently turned 18. He and his parents lived in Blythe most of his life as a toddler. The first of four sisters was born when Bob was two years old. Then, while living in Mojave, Kern County, California, a second sister was born when Bob was five years old.
By 1950 the family was once again living in Blythe with Earl's Mom, Alma, and her second husband, James O. Bradly. At the time Bob was six years old and his dad was a truck driver.
By the end of 1951 the family was living in Lynwood, Los Angeles County, California and they added a third daughter. Within two years the family had moved to Beaumont, Riverside County, California where Marilynn, Bob's youngest sister, joined the family on 1 January 1953, when Bob was eight years old.
Bob didn't have a childhood like most kids. Though there were fun and games with his sisters and his friends, he also witnessed and endured many difficult instances that would shape his person his entire life. Bob was very private, and because of that many details of his life will not be shared. He was athletic in high school, where he played basketball. He served in the Air Force, was honorably discharged, but he never discussed his time in the military. He married and had a son, but that wife, who didn't want to be a mother, made him choose between her and his son. He chose his son. Later, he married his true soulmate. They would move from California to Montana and then to California again. After moving to Diamond Bar, Los Angeles County, California, Bob and his wife successfully owned and operated Precision Audio, a paging and audio equipment installation business. Partners in life and business, they were together the remainder of his life, 49 years.
Bob loved his family and was always there to help those in need, both emotionally and financially. He couldn't bear to see any of his sisters or mother suffer. When his sister, Marilynn, was diagnosed with cancer he welcomed her into his home. There she lived out her days.
He was well known because of his business, but only considered a few as close friends; and only one friend did he consider a brother.
Bob enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, target shooting, watching basketball and his bird, Charlie. He was a tall, strong and stoic, yet deceptively gentle. He successfully broke the cycle that had been passed down from generations before.
Bob passed away at home surrounded by his beloved wife and son. He will be missed by his many friends and extended family members.
