\"\"Hornell, New York<\/p>\n

Roderick C. \u201cRod\u201d Davison \u2013 69 \u2013 of 50 Church St., Hornell, early Tuesday morning (January 28, 2025) at Noyes Memorial Hospital in Dansville, NY following a long illness.<\/p>\n

Born in Hornell on January 29, 1955, he was the son of Robert & Leona (George) Davison.<\/p>\n

Rod grew up in the Almond area and attended Alfred-Almond Central School. For several years he worked on the Davison Family Dairy Farm and later served as a machine repair specialist for Morrison-Knudson (MK) and Alstom Transportation in Hornell.\u00a0 He retired about 14 years ago due to ill health and other disabilities.<\/p>\n

He was an avid Buffalo Bills Football fan and attended many games, including all four Super Bowls.\u00a0 Rod was a member of the Hornell VFW and was a self-proclaimed \u201chome-body\u201d who loved simply visiting with family, going fishing, and sitting on his front porch — usually with his dog Chloe by his side.<\/p>\n

In addition to his parents, Rod was preceded in death by his sister, Debbie Hecker and his brother, Richard Davison.<\/p>\n

Surviving are his long-time companion, Bonnie Simms; his son, Michael (Erica) Davison of Hornell; his daughters, Kristy Stephens of Endicott and Katie Costley of Hornell; 2 brothers, Donald (Jackie) Davison of Hornell and Robert (Diane) Davison of Almond; 2 sisters, Carolyn Evingham of Almond and Doreen (John) Atwell of Mississippi; his grandchildren, Destiny, Ky\u2019von, Michael, Kylie, Ian, Dominick, Bentley, Mia, Angelica, Tessa, Mackenzie, and Hayleigh; several nieces & nephews.<\/p>\n

At Rod\u2019s request there will be no calling hours. A \u201cCelebration of Life\u201d will be held on Sunday, February 2nd, 2025 beginning at 2:00 PM at the Hornell VFW.<\/p>\n

Funeral arrangements are in care of the Dagon Funeral Home, 38 Church St., Hornell, NY.<\/p>\n

Rod\u2019s family request that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in his name be made to the Hornell VFW, 245 Canisteo St, NY 14843.<\/p>\n
