Robert "Bob" Davison, 96, of Longmont, Colo., and formerly of Burlington, passed away at home on Nov. 6, 2025.

Born on July 24, 1929, in Burlington, Bob proudly served in the United States Air Force during both the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

Over his 23-year military career as a physical therapist, he traveled internationally and was later sent back to school by General Bradley to earn his master's degree - a testament to his dedication and professionalism. He retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

A resident of Longmont since 1999, Bob continued to live a full and active life. He loved playing cards, gardening, and traveling, and was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. Known for his kindness, patience, and willingness to help, he touched countless lives with his gentle spirit and generous heart.

Bob will be laid to rest in Burlington, alongside his parents and daughter, Renee. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
