Davin Andrew Atencio

Davin was such a kind, caring and loving person. And he had a great sense of humor and made us laugh!  His desire to feed his deeply intelligent mind meant that Davin was always learning about new things. Davin could tell you about so many different subjects.

He enjoyed spending time loving and spoiling his best dog, Oscar, and always had a special bond with his doggies. Davin, we hope you know that Oscar will be there for your mom and will give her kisses and watch after her.
 
Davin loved his family very much, and always made sure they were taken care of. His mom and Oscar were his best friends! His love for the well-being of others extended to so many of us.
 
Davin was passionate about anything to do with traveling. His most exciting trip was to Italy, where he had the experience of a lifetime. He even worked at the airport which connected him to the travel world he so loved.
 
He appreciated simplicity, and didn't need a lot of material things, but one thing Davin particularly loved was collecting and writing in notebooks. In remembrance of Davin, please write a note or draw something, and mail it to Laurie. He would like that!
 
We all have so many good memories of Davin, and he will forever leave a big hole in our hearts. Davin, we will painfully miss you; none of us will ever be the same, but we know you will always be a part of us.
 
We love you Davin and know you are with our Heavenly Father. We are comforted in knowing that you are at peace, and with our loved ones.
 
"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down and let us know they are happy." -Eskimo Proverb
