He was united in marriage to Shirley Strand in Las Vegas, Nevada, on June 2, 1961. They established their home in Williston and have lived here through these many succeeding years.
Tom loved ranching. From 1929 to 1965, the Davidson ranch was operated under the name "Long S Cattle Company, " located on the Ft. Berthold Indian Reservation. He took over the operation for his father in the late 1950s. In 1965, the Cattle Company was moved after purchasing a ranch near Big Horn, Montana, which Tom operated through the date of his passing.
Tom also assumed the Presidency of the American State Bank & Trust Company in 1969. From that point forward, Tom was the heart and soul of the family bank that his father first became associated with in 1906. Tom began working at the family bank in his teenage years.
Tom's proudest moments were his marriage to Shirley, the birth of his two children, and later the birth of his four grandchildren. His family was always first and foremost in his life.
Tom is survived by his wife, Shirley, one daughter, Tamara Sogard and her husband, Patrick and their children, Oliver, Barrett, Isabella and Thomas, one son, Thomas Davidson, Jr. of Minneapolis and one brother John R. Davidson of Billings, MT. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, W.S. Davidson, Jr.
Tom was dedicated to his community and went to extraordinary lengths to support it and also was widely known in ranching circles in eastern Montana.
He was a member of the First Lutheran Church, the Elks and Moose Lodges. Tom was also a Board member of the UND Alumni Association, a Director of the North Dakota Stockman's Association and was active in the American National Cattleman's Association.
