Davidson, Trailblazing Surgeon, Remembered for Compassion

“I think that Mike was a magician, because I don’t know how he did what he did given the time allotted,” Morris said.

The Brigham flew its flag at half-mast during a ceremony held in Davidson’s honor Wednesday morning. The Brigham also held a vigil for Davidson at noon. More than 400 people came to the vigil, filling the venue over capacity, so the hospital held another vigil later in the afternoon, according to Erin McDonough, a spokesperson for the Brigham.

Davidson is survived by his three children, Kate, 9; Liv, 7, and Graham, 2; and his wife, Terri Halperin '97, who is pregnant with their fourth child.

Funeral services will be Friday at 10 a.m. at Temple Beth Elohim at 10 Bethel Rd. in Wellesley. The Brigham has established a fund at the RTN Federal Credit Union to benefit Davidson’s family.
