Navarro Rodney Davidson was born June 11, 1928, in Franklin, LA, the second son 
of Paul Lawrence Davidson, Sr. and Electa Navarro Davidson. “Rod,” as he was 
called by his family, died Sunday, September 2, 2012, at his home in Covington.

He graduated from Franklin High School in 1945, where he played French horn in 
the band and tackle on the football team. Attending Southwestern, Rodney 
obtained his B.S. in Education in 1950; he received his M.Ed. from LSU in 1957. 
His education was interrupted by his military service in the United States Army 
from 1951 to 1953. Rodney married Kathleen Kuhlman April 6, 1951, in Franklin. 
He taught high school in Patterson and later in Covington. In 1963, Rodney 
became an agent with New York Life Insurance Company and had a very successful 
career and through this job, made many friends. He retired after 45 years of 
service to the company and his policy holders. Rodney lived a full life, 
enjoying family, cooking, eating, fishing, hunting, and traveling. He 
maintained an active membership in the Jackson Bayou Hunting Club and hunting 
accommodations in Merida, Yucatan. He was also a member of Ducks Unlimited and 
Safari International.

Rodney is survived by his wife Kathleen, daughter Martha Davidson Motichek and 
her husband Eric; his brother Paul L. Davidson, Jr. and his wife Patricia 
Boudreaux; his sister Ruth Davidson McIntyre and her husband Ted; and numerous 
nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

Having been an Eagle Scout, the family requests that donations be made to the 
Boy Scouts of America in Rodney’s name at www.scouting.org.

Visitation will be on Friday, September 7, at St. Anselm Catholic Church, 307 
St. Mary Street, Madisonville, LA, from 1:30 to 3:30pm, followed by a Funeral 
Mass celebrated by his nephew Father Al Davidson.

Interment will be at the Theodore Dendinger Cemetery immediately after the 
Mass.
