Davin Arroyo Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Davin Agapito Arroyo, affectionately known as "Pop," who departed this life at his home in Cary, NC at the age of 84. Davin A. Arroyo was born on Feb 24, 1941 in the Bronx (NY) and lived a life marked by kindness, compassion, and unwavering dedication to God, family, and friends.
He touched the lives of many throughout the years. Known for his warm smile, compassion for others, humor, and infectious laughter, he brought joy and comfort to everyone around. Whether through acts of service, words of wisdom, or moments of quiet support through prayer, Davin's presence made a lasting impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Davin is survived by wife Gloria, his son Dwight, daughter Rebecca and son-in-law Henry, grandson J.P. and girlfriend Mahalia, and a host of other relatives and friends who will cherish his memory. He was predeceased by his brothers, Joe and John and mother Aurora.
A memorial service will be held on Monday December 22, 2025 at Montlawn Funeral Home, beginning at 10a -12pm for a closed casket gathering followed by internment at 12noon. All are welcome to join in honoring and remembering Davin's remarkable life.

Pop- So many life lessons taught by example, so many jokes, funny memories and moments to count. Thank you for being there in the moments that counted the most. Thank you for the backyard cookouts, hiding the jelly doughnuts but your glass of milk was a dead giveaway away, and many road trip songs you played I thought would never end as a kid but now seek the the song titles out to remember why you liked them so much. Thank you for providing a fun filled childhood most would envy. Thank you for your sense of humor and patience. I´m still working on some of these. Love you always. Becky
