 He was born on March 7, 1960, in Vernal, Utah, to two very loving, caring and hardworking parents, Bert and Bernice Rich Pilling. He was the 2nd born out of six children. Davin’s siblings are Sherry Pilling, Melinda Pilling (Mitchell) Timothy Pilling, Arbun Pilling and Graig Pilling. 

 Davin was an amazing son, grandson, brother, nephew, cousin, uncle and great uncle. He loved to be around and spend time with all of his family and friends. He also made new friends everywhere he went. He loved to entertain and bring joy and laughter to all of those who were in his presence, through playing music, singing, telling jokes, facial expressions, videos and through his actions. He never talked badly about anyone and would stay away from negative talk and judgmental attitudes. 

 Outside of constantly loving others, Davin loved being active indoors and especially outdoors. He was a hobby master and loved playing board games, watching movies, making movies, inventing things, playing disc golf, hiking, exploring nature, swimming in lakes, rivers and oceans, dunking his head into waterfalls, traveling, and more. 

 Before his careers, Davin served an LDS Mission and attended college at BYU Hawaii. Davin had many skills, on top of his professional friend making skills. He worked as a computer and tech genius; invented useful electronics, clothing and adventure tools; he built computers and X-boxes with cool light designs inside of them, created plexiglass display boxes, many memorial DVDs for family, was a good mechanic like his father and he was a CDL-certified tour bus driver for river rafting companies and a tour company on Catalina Island in California. 

 Davin will be greatly missed by many and especially by his loved ones who got to spend close time with him and experienced his amazing love, positive attitude, energy, outgoingness, willingness and care-free spirit. His memory lives on through his mother, Bernice; sister, Melinda; brothers, Arbun and Graig; aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and all of the great friends he made through his living locations and travels. 

 He also lives on digitally, through his Facebook Page, he titled, “This is my journal for when I am long and gone for family and friends to enjoy watching.” Davin spent the last of his days with his mother and siblings before his passing.God Bless all who knew him closely and from afar and may we all carry on Davin’s wonderful spirit throughout our lives.
