Eric Davidow Obituary

December 6, 1978 - August 12, 2015 A free spirit, who cared deeply and loved fiercely, Eric Lyle Davidow was called Home on August 12, 2015. Born in Kalispell Montana on December 6, 1978, he walked this earth with us for 36 years. He was so many things to so many people; a son, a brother, a father, and a friend. His compassion and loyalty made him a true friend, and a kind and wonderful companion. He loved an outdoor adventure, hunting, fishing, or camping. On a baseball diamond or at a poker table, he loved to play, and to win. He loved to celebrate his teams, the Broncos, the Blackhawks, and the Rockies. Eric was a University High School alumni, class of 1997, and graduated from Spokane Valley Alternative High School in 1999. Eric followed the inspiration of his grandmothers and in 2001 he earned his Culinary Arts degree from SCC, using his expertise in kitchens from Minneapolis to Spokane, putting love into each dish he created. His presence will be missed by his many family and friends, his parents, Frank and Debbie Davidow, brother Steve Davidow, sister in law, Annette Davidow, nieces, Sylvia, Mary and Claire, and nephew Paul, brother Mark Davidow, and Mark's girlfriend Jessica Tweeten, aunts and uncles Kim and Jesse Jones, Ted and Lecretia Mikita, Richard and Cassandra Mikita, Tim and Carla Mikita, Tony Mikita, Bonnie Bressmer, Terry and Clay Loving, Holly Mikita, Mike and Fern Satori, Cliff and Cindy Davidow, Vicky and Mike Wood, and numerous cousins. Eric joins his brother Nick, infant daughter Jadyn, and his grandparents Ted and Shirley Mikita, Bob and Eileen Noland, and Frank Davidow Sr., who walked the road to Home ahead of him. A memorial will be held at Redeemer Lutheran Church, 3606 South Old Schafer Road, Spokane Valley, WA 99206, on Wednesday, August 19th, at 1:00pm. Please join us in celebration of Eric's life.
