Scott Davidson was a man of many talents-firefighter‚ athlete‚ teacher‚ coach‚ and bartender just to name a few. He gave of himself to his community in many ways. He was looked up to by many as a basketball coach and school teacher. He enjoyed life and all it had to offer. He was a fierce competitor who won many awards. He was an all-star baseball player in the Great Kills Little League. He played four years of basketball at St. Joseph-by-the-Sea High School where he was named the most valuable player in the Jacques Classic All-Star High School game in 1986.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in history from the College of Staten Island where he played on the basketball team for all four years‚ and was captain his senior year.
Materialistic things were not of importance to Scott. The most important things to Scott were his two children‚ his son Peter‚ 8 years old‚ and his daughter Casey‚ 4 years old. He was very proud of them‚ and he was happiest while coaching them‚ having a catch or watching a dance recital. He coached his son Peter in football and baseball‚ and his daughter Casey was certainly a ‘Daddy’s Girl.’ He loved his children above all things.
One of the proudest moments in Scott’s life‚ aside from the birth of his two children‚ was when he graduated the fire academy. He worked at Ladder Company 118 in Brooklyn Heights‚ New York. He was a firefighter since January 16‚ 1994‚ a lifelong dream of his. He often said it was ‘the greatest job in America.’
On September 11‚ 2001‚ Scott was on duty and responded to the call after a second hijacked airliner struck the World Trade Center.
Scott’s acts of heroism are not surprising. He was a brave and fearless man and a devout patriot. He was a friend to many‚ and will be sorely missed by us all.
He is survived by his two children‚ Peter and Casey‚ his father Stephen Davidson‚ his mother Carla DiMaggio‚ his stepmother Linda Davidson‚ his brother Michael Davidson‚ and his grandmother Celia Lategano.
Thank you for the sacrifice you made that day.

– joe gulinoWe did a memorial for those who died on 9/11 at school today, we had a specific person and we would read their story aloud in class then light a candle for them. Scott Davidson was my hero to read aloud. I am very thankfull for your sacrifice that day.
– BrandonYou are deeply missed, Mr. Davidson. All my love goes to Pete and Casey
– MeganToday I completed a 9/11 Memorial Climb, and I was honored to wear a badge with Scotts picture and name presented on it. I rung the bell in honor of him on the “78th floor”. I continued to climb to the “110th Floor” keeping him in mind and those he loved. Remembering the sacrifice given, choking up at the honor of it all, and pushing through when I was tired and hot reminding myself of how little my act was in comparison to those firemen like Scott who gave their lives to save others that day. God Bless!

– MohamedI completed a 9/11 Memorial Climb(2019 Green Bay, WI), and I was honored to wear a badge with Scotts picture and name on it. Practically every flight I climbed I looked at his picture thinking what a true hero this man was. My Father was a volunteer firemen for 11 years. I never really thought much when I was a kid of what my dad went through when he left the house to run on a call. Pretty much thought that he would be back home soon. My heart goes out to his two children. Thanking your dad for the true sacrifice that he made that day. Kim N
– Kim Neubauer“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”.
– Mark GrubbJohn 15:13. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Davidson. Your ultimate sacrifice has not been forgotten by many, just as my comrades in the military that did the same thing!
I ordered a 911 bracelet and requested it have the name of a firefighter. I proudly wear my bracelet that has Scott’s name engraved on it. I was fortunate enough to go to New York in 2017, and felt like I finally met this brave man. Thank you for your service, and your sacrifice. Rest In Peace Mr. Scott Matthew Davidson.
– Jo AnnScott, thank you for your service. You were such an incredible human being, and not a day goes by without people thinking about you. You would be so proud of your children down here. Both Pete and Casey have made names for themselves in their own respective ways! You died a hero, but you live on in the hearts of many. Thank you again, Scott Matthew Davidson. God bless you and your family.
– DylanTonight I walked in memory of Scott Davidson, on the 18th anniversary of his death. I cried for a man I never met as I picked up a lanyard with his photograph and ladder company affiliation because of the ultimate sacrifice he made for his community and our nation. I will never forget.
– Kathleen HodgesMr. Davidson,
– ReneeThank you for being a true American hero. May God bless you today and always.
With Love,
Renee from Boston, MA
Today, I for no reason at all, decided to look at the names of the fallen. I came across Scott’s name and noticed that we were the same age when he passed. I was serving year 14 of my 20 with the Coast Guard in San Diego, Ca. A day that horribly, like everyone else, I’ll never forget. Scott’s bio hit me quite hard. I believe he was someone i’d have been happy to know. It’s very indicative of a person, to be loved by so many. I pray that God will provide his devine comfort, to help assuage any remaining grief, that his loved ones still carry. One day we will all be reunited with our families, and I too, will have a chance to meet Scott.
– Brent M. BruceThank you for your service. May you RIP.
– DawnThank you for your courage that fateful day.
– AmandaYour sacrifice as well as those who lost their lives will never be forgotten.
You should see how Amazing Peter has turned out… he has, I’m sure, made you beyond proud as you have made him.
Two amazing Davidson men.
God bless you both.

– joe dataAs a firefighter I am always indebted to your courage and bravery.
– Fred Kottmyer IIIA friend bought a restaurant and gave me a tour throughout the building. As we went to the basement, items that had been removed were there. He told me to take anything I wanted. As I looked down I immediately saw the picture of 118 Ladder crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. I took it. Not knowing this was the last time you would respond to a call.. it hangs with my 911 memorial tribute to the FDNY. God Bless 343
I didn’t know him. I never even heard about him until SNL. But to anybody that says 9/11 was a day of grief, I say that it was a day of grief and heroism.
– Eli KelleyThank you. If Pete saw you, he would say thank you
how odd to think one day we’d all come here to leave messages of love for you and your family. your son has become a brilliant comedian and has saved so many with his humor (including me)
– SaeaA very heartfelt thank you to Scott Davidson for making the ultimate sacrifice for the rest of us. I am, and always will be, in awe of the men and women who rushed toward the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 when many of us headed for safety. God Bless Scott Davidson and the FDNY and thank you.

– Angela StewartJust watched the King of Staten Island. Pete is very talented. I have been a fireman for 25 years and knew many of the FDNY guys who perished on 9/11.

John could do many things and if he didn’t know how to do it he would read about it and do it. He also played a little baseball on the Fire Department’s team.
John also made a trip to NY after 9/11 to fill in and work for departments that were short staffed due to 9/11.
Thank You to your father Scott, and all others who made the Sacrifice on 9/11.
It will never be forgotten.
My only wish is that Scott sees how awesome his son turned out to be. My heart goes out to all the fallen heroes and the heroes still fighting for their lives today.

Please know your father would be the proudest man alive with all you have accomplished.
– JohnThank you for your sacrifice you are a true hero! Pete and family my condolences to all of you. Never forget!!
– MichaelGod bless & (RIP) Scott. Such a young handsome man, father & husband. I lost my FDNY brother-in-law Robert Curtolo also from Staten Island and 31 years of age. He was just recently married and a Disney wedding 3 weeks prior. From a family of eight brothers and sisters 16 nieces and nephews, my twin sons who are now 29 made the dream come true of following in their uncle’s footsteps and my one twin son has been FDNY in Staten Island and is very proud to carry on his uncle’s legend. You were way way too young to die, or should I say be murdered. That tragic day that took so many innocent lives, people’s fathers, sons, husbands, brothers, and uncles, and friends. I’m sure you are as proud of your son looking down from heaven as he will always be so proud of you. You’re a true hero, one of the many, but you are so young too may you rest in eternal peace. The proud mother of a 29-year-old FDNY member, I cannot imagine the pain your family felt, especially your mother, your children, and your wife at your loss at such a young age. My prayers are with my son everyday as he works the job. His Uncle Rob had two other brothers who were also in the fire department, but survived, as well as my twin’s father Rob’s brother who was NYPD. Most people don’t understand how this day affected our lives unless they were personally affected themselves. God bless you and your family and maybe you watch over your children and no all of us affected personally and throughout America in the world those words will never be overused ever in life NEVER FORGOTTEN ❤️ Bless America America (RIP) Scott Davidson

– Luke sherbourneMay you rest in peace along with my twin sons Uncle FDNY Robert Curatolo 31 from Staten Island New York along with their soccer coach FDNY Jeffrey Giordano, 45 Staten Island New York & Nicholas Russomando Rescue 5 Staten Island New York. My twin’s father played basketball with Scott, as my twin’s father worked for FDNY as well as Roberts too Brothers who were FDNY employed also. All three brothers search for their youngest brother in the rubble that terrible day as Robert headed to the second tower to save lives and tragically died while the tower fell upon them. My twins were 9 years old and with me on Flatbush avenue in Brooklyn on this terrible day. Losing their Uncle Rob will always be a scar in their heart ❤️ ❤️ may God bless Scott & Uncle Rob and all who were murdered on 9/11. ❤️ NEVER FORGOTTEN ❤️ God Bless & May rest in eternal peace, AMEN

– AnonymousA true hero and leaving us all so handsome and so young! Pete is a wonderful young man and i am sure you are very proud.
– David ManrellI just finished that movie, the King of Staten Island, I was floored. It was amazing. I truly felt a loss upon hearing about the death of Mr. Davidson he was taken from humanity. Much too soon I can only dream of the heroic acts, both consisting of bravery and dedication to his family. That will truly be missed.
– Floyd CastroThank You Mr. Davidson for all you did on that terrible day. You will be missed by many and we will NEVER FORGET.
– Jesse FloydJust watching the movie „The King of Staten Island“ and somehow I read about the background story of the movie.
It is so sad what happened that day, back on that September 11, 2001.
– TomBut men like Firefighter Scott Matthew Davidson and all his friends who passed away that day remind us in the best way ever, how great humans really can be!
Rest in peace – you brave men and great friends of all of us! Thank you so much!
We remember and honor you, forever!
I just completed my 7th memorial stair climb to honor the 343 firefighters that passed away that day. This year, I had heard that a comedians/actors father was one of those firefighters. I decided to look him up and read about him. I found out that this brave soul rushed in to the Marriott Hotel between the twin towers. Before the buildings collapsed, he helped save the lives of over 200 people. I am honored to have climbed with the badge of Scott Davidson this year. You are a hero. Because of you, countless lives were changed by your courage and selfless giving. I truly say thank you sir, for the sacrifice you made that day. God bless you and your family.
– Paul BraatzScott Davidson, father of two.
– Paul GHis son, Pete, starred recently in King of Staten Island, by Judd Apatow (whose sister starred as Pete’s movie sister. And she was fantastic too).
The movie is about a young man whose mental health is left very vague (though we can definitely presume autism spectrum and ADHD/ADD), and whose father had died whilst rescuing people from a fire whilst fulfilling firefighting duties.
Pete’s character, Scott, after some immature gents and groans, eventually befreinds his mum’s new fella (also a firefighter) to learn more about his firefighting father beyond the rose-tinted version his mother ( the GORGEOUS Marisa Tomei) bolstered him with as he grew.
And, is also as a movie, dedicated to Scott Mathew Davidson (Actor, Pete’s real life father).
And WOWWWW! One of the VERY FEW modern move classics.
God rest your soul Scott Davidson.
I happen so share a very similar name with you. I’m glad it’s shared with someone as strong and selfless as yourself.
– Matthew Scott DavidsonYour sacrifice was worth it. Your son Pete is a success and I’m sure Casey is doing just fine. I hope you’re in paradise.
– JesusIt is awe inspiring that there are people like this with undeniable courage & strength. This man leaves a heroic mark upon history. Love & light to his family. Thank you.
– T.LeighWhat an incredible story of sacrifice and heroism. It’s heartbreaking to think about the falls that firefighters have made in the line of duty. This post is a great reminder of the importance of honoring their memories and supporting their families.
– sLIDES dOWNLOADERWhat a True hero!
One day I hope I can become a firefighter!
Thanks to people like yourselves I believe good people still actually exist.
– LorenI was a tourist from Europe and visited the memorial site. Someone put a beautiful rose at your name. It was a beautiful sight with sun shining bright. After reading your story and seeing the museum, I want to thank you for your service and sacrifice. Hope you’re at peace.
– ZainThank you for your service Mr. Davidson. Your so loved and missed by everyone. You’ll never be forgotten.
– michelle rose– A stranger who is a fan of your inspiring son, Peter “Pete” Michael Davidson.
We had the Annual 9/11 stair climb today in Green Bay, WI. I was honored with your name to climb for you. Rest in Peace Brother.
– Gerald LambToday I carried a dogtag with Scott’s name, profession and ladder company engraved upon it. My battalion ran 110 flights of stairs while each carrying a dog tag and when complete we read the dogtags into a microphone within a football stadium. Scott’s sacrifice was remembered today, and will never be forgotten.
– Gianni FerrariToday in 2024, I carried Scott Davidson’s name in the Colorado 9/11 Memorial Climb. As I walked, I thought about how much he loved his children, Pete and Casey, and how proud he was to be a firefighter. His commitment to his family and community, as well as his joy for life, was inspiring. Scott’s legacy of service and love continues to shine through Pete, and it was an honor to remember him today.
– M MillerThank you and the rest of those who selflessly sacrificed themselves to save those who were in the towers and those on the ground around the towers!
– Michael Creek-StromattThanks for the sacrifice of a true hero of our society. You’ll be remembered for years
