He attended Northwestern High School and was currently employed at Five Guys Restaurant. Davidian had several nicknames including, TBS (Thick Boy Simpson), Fat Boi, Heavy D and D -Boy. Davidian loved spending time with his children, especially “Stinka Butt”, who was the spoiled brat of the bunch. He loved eating, laughing, smoking and cracking jokes with his friends. He had a contagious smile and a big laugh that would wake up the whole room. Davidian was a big boy, but he was one of the best dressers around town. His shoes and shirt had to match to a tee and when he thought he was really sharp, he wouldn’t dare be seen without his shades. He was a very good housekeeper, loved cooking and kept his Camaro immaculate. He would be riding through the streets of Flint, blasting his favorite artist, “Jeezy”. He was also a good garbage disposal, as he would raid his mom and sisters’ refrigerator every chance he got. His favorite T.V. shows were “Sanford and Son”, “Martin”, “The Three Stooges”, “Different Strokes”, “The Wire” and “Power”. Davidian was a very caring, compassionate person, that loved his family to the fullest and would protect them against the world. Mr. Davidian M.
