Early Life and Education

Scott attended St. Joseph by the Sea High School, a Catholic institution known for its rigorous academics. While attending school, Davidson developed a passion for sports, playing basketball and baseball, although ambitions in the entertainment or public service industries still didn’t mark his early life.

Personal Life

Scott Davidson married Amy Waters Davidson, and together they had two children, Peter Michael Davidson, born in 1993, and Casey Davidson, born a few years later. Scott and Amy were deeply involved in their children’s lives, raising them in Staten Island.

Scott’s son, Pete Davidson, would later become a famous comedian and actor, frequently paying tribute to his father in his work. Scott’s life was primarily centered around his family, and he was known for his devotion to his wife and children. There is no record of divorce or extramarital affairs, as Scott remained married to Amy until he died in 2001.

Career

Scott Davidson joined the FDNY in 1994, fulfilling a lifelong commitment to helping others. He was assigned to Ladder Company 118 in Brooklyn Heights, where he quickly earned a reputation for bravery and dedication.

Over the years, he received numerous commendations for his service, standing out as a respected member of the firefighting community. Davidson was known for his quick thinking and fearless approach to dangerous situations, exemplified during his response to the 9/11 attacks.

On September 11, 2001, Scott’s ladder company was dispatched to the World Trade Center after the terrorist attacks.

Net Worth

Scott Davidson’s net worth at the time of his death was estimated to be around $500k. Being a public servant, his income came from his work as a firefighter, a profession driven by service rather than financial gain.

His legacy, however, lives on in the memorials dedicated to 9/11 heroes and through his son Pete’s career, which often reflects on Scott’s impact on his family and community.

Death

Scott Davidson died on September 11, 2001, during the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in New York City. While responding to the attacks with Ladder Company 118, Scott and his colleagues rushed to the Marriott World Trade Center Hotel to rescue those trapped.
