OwenJames DAVIDSON

DAVIDSON, Owen James Passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 2 ½ at Toronto’s SickKids Hospital, with his Mom by his side on the morning of July 19, 2017. Owen fought a long and tough battle with Congenital Heart Disease, having undergone 3 open heart surgeries in the first year of his life. Much loved son of Courtney Langdon and Jim Davidson. Adored little brother of Cole Davidson. Survived by his Gma (Diane Langdon), Grandma (Joan Davidson) and Gramps (Axel Schattin). Predeceased by his Papa (Michael Langdon). Nephew to Uncle Kyle (Langdon) and Auntie B (Rebecca Colbran) and cousin to Parker. Owen was a fighter; a determined, stubborn and outspoken toddler who knew what he wanted. Owen loved to play and be with his family. A heart condition never slowed him down. Equipped with a vocabulary far exceeding expectations given his age, he had a fond love of playing with his best friend and brother, Cole, going for walks, listening to music and watching Paw Patrol. Although his time on this earth was short, he made a fierce impact in the lives of anyone he knew; a true inspiration and embodiment of strength and what it means to overcome life’s obstacles.
