Last year, audiences were introduced to Pete Davidson, the then 20-year-old who earned a spot on the list of the youngest cast members of “Saturday Night Live” over the show’s 40 seasons.
A lifelong New Yorker, Davidson was just 7 when the Sept. 11 attack on the Twin Towers occurred. His firefighter father Scott Davidson was killed in service at Ground Zero.
On the 14th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, Davidson paid tribute to his late father on social media.

He also retweeted the New York City Fire Department’s message.
14 years ago, #FDNY members gathered to begin another day of service to the people of #NYC not knowing what the day would bring.

Davidson paid tribute on Instagram, too, where he called his father his “hero.”
