While The Crash largely focused on Shirilla and her relationship with Russo, it spent far less time on Flanagan and the life he hoped to build before the crash.
Flanagan had been a talented athlete and football player, but after dealing with injuries, he began planning a different future. He wanted to attend barber school and eventually open his own barbershop.
After his passing, Flanagan’s parents, Jaime and Scott Flanagan, decided to honor that dream by creating a scholarship fund to help low-income aspiring barbers attend school.
Speaking to People in 2023, Jaime said, “The amount of good that could be done in Davion's name and the impact that he could still have on the world is something that gives us some joy and hope in the middle of all of this sadness and devastation.”
Scott added, “If we could help one or several or many of those people to a better, brighter future in our son's name and our son's honor, then that truly is a blessing.”
As of May 2026, the scholarship fund had raised more than $82,000, allowing Davion’s dream to continue helping others long after his passing.
