29 de enero de 1992 – 4 de junio de 2025

Raúl J. Dávila nació en Los Ángeles, California, el 29 de enero de 1992, hijo de los amorosos padres Sr. Raúl Dávila y Gloria A. Pescina. Le sobreviven su hermana, Gloria Alexandra Dávila Bahena, y sus dos hijas: Claire Lauren Dávila, a quien amó incondicionalmente con todo su corazón, y su segunda hija, Jade—una pequeña semillita que nunca tuvo la oportunidad de conocer, pero que siempre anheló amar y tener cerca.

Raúl, cariñosamente conocido como “Raulito” por su familia, fue un niño alegre, juguetón y curioso. Compartió muchos momentos felices con sus primos y, durante un tiempo, vivió en México con su madre y hermana, donde perfeccionó su español y se conectó con sus raíces culturales. En ese tiempo fortaleció lazos con su familia extendida, siempre brindando su cariño y calidez.

Raúl tenía una personalidad intensa, audaz y muy suya. Su risa era fuerte, profunda, y contagiosa—de esas que llenan el cuarto y hacen reír a todos a su alrededor. Era el alma de muchas reuniones, y su energía dejaba una impresión duradera. Fue un buen amigo, un hijo leal, un hermano amoroso y un padre dedicado. Valoraba profundamente a su familia y siempre buscó estar presente para los suyos.

Desde joven, Raúl vivió la vida rapida y con pasión. Le gustaba vivir al límite, hacer todo con intensidad, y nunca a medias. Se enorgullecía de su estilo personal, amaba los autos europeos, los perfumes, la música—especialmente la electrónica (EDM)—y siempre encontraba alegría en vestirse bien y cuidar de sí mismo.

Le apasionaban las caminatas al aire libre, ir a la playa con su mama, especialmente en la montaña, y una de sus memorias favoritas fue un viaje con amigos a Oregon. También era constante con el ejercicio, haciendo cientos de lagartijas al día, especialmente cuando iba al gimnasio con su papá.

Después de graduarse del Youth Academy Sunburst en Los Alamitos, Raúl exploró distintos caminos profesionales, incluyendo voluntariado en el hospital de veteranos V.A. en Long Beach. Posteriormente se dedicó al área de negocios y finanzas, trabajando en instituciones como Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank y One West Bank. Con esfuerzo y dedicación obtuvo certificaciones bancarias como Top Banker en su region y más adelante, su licencia como agente de bienes raíces en 2020, guiado por su tía Arcelia Pescina.

Raúl fue un espíritu lleno de amor, fuerza y carisma. Fue un soñador incansable, un luchador apasionado, y un hombre con un corazón inmenso. Su presencia se sentía, su voz se recordaba, y su risa quedará grabada en quienes lo conocieron. Como todo ser humano en sus altibajos lucho largo tiempo y arduamente en el manejo de sus emociones por su melancholia y depression profunda con todo lo que esto conlleva, de la mano de sus terapeutas para manejar su vida cotidiana y Volver a ser entusiasta a plentitude.

El 4 de junio de 2025, Raúl partió de este mundo para descansar en paz. Su alma ahora descansa en la luz y el amor eterno. Nos queda su memoria, su sonrisa franca, su energía vibrante y todo lo que compartió con quienes lo amaron.

Raulito será recordado por su luz, su corazón noble y su esencia única. Vivirá para siempre en los corazones de su familia, sus hijas, y todos aquellos cuyas vidas tocó.

Descansa en paz, querido Raúl. Que tu alma encuentre la calma y el hogar que siempre buscó. Amén.

Raúl J. Dávila

January 29, 1992 – June 4, 2025

Raúl J. Dávila was born in Los Angeles, California, on January 29, 1992, to his loving parents, Mr. Raúl Dávila and Gloria A. Pescina. He is survived by his sister, Gloria Alexandra Dávila Bahena, and his two daughters: Claire Lauren Dávila, whom he loved unconditionally with all his heart, and his second daughter, Jade—a precious little seed whom he never had the chance to meet, but whom he always longed to love and hold close.

Raúl, affectionately known as “Raulito” by his family, was a joyful, playful, and curious child. He shared many happy moments with his cousins, and for a time, lived in Mexico with his mother and sister, where he perfected his Spanish and connected deeply with his cultural roots. During that time, he strengthened bonds with his extended family, always offering his affection and warmth.

Raúl had an intense, bold, and unique personality. His laugh was loud, deep, and contagious—the kind that could fill a room and make everyone around him laugh. He was the life of many gatherings, and his energy left a lasting impression. He was a good friend, a loyal son, a loving brother, and a devoted father. He deeply valued family and always sought to be there for those he loved.

From a young age, Raúl lived life passionately and in a hurry. He liked to live on the edge, do everything with intensity, and never halfway. He took pride in his personal style, loved European cars, colognes, and music—especially electronic (EDM), house music—and always found joy in dressing well and taking care of himself.

He loved being outdoors, hiking in the mountains, and going to the beach with his mom. One of his favorite memories was a trip to Oregon with his friends. He was also consistent with exercise, doing hundreds of push-ups daily, especially during gym sessions with his dad.

After graduating from Youth Academy Sunburst in Los Alamitos, Raúl explored various professional paths, including volunteering at the V.A. Hospital in Long Beach. He later focused on business and finance, working at institutions like Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and One West Bank. Through hard work and dedication, he earned banking certifications, was recognized as a Top Banker in his region, and later obtained his real estate license in 2020, guided by his aunt, Arcelia Pescina.

Raúl was a soul full of love, strength, and charisma. He was a tireless dreamer, a passionate fighter, and a man with a tremendous heart. His presence was felt, his voice remembered, and his laugh will forever echo in the memories of those who knew him. Like any human being, he experienced highs and lows, and he fought long and hard to manage the emotions tied to his deep melancholy and depression. With the support of his therapists, he worked to manage daily life and find his way back to joy and wholeness.

On June 4, 2025, Raúl left this world to rest in peace. His soul now rests in the eternal light and love he so deeply deserved. We hold on to his memory, his bright smile, his vibrant energy, and everything he shared with those who loved him.

Raulito will be remembered for his light, his noble heart, and his one-of-a-kind spirit. He will live on forever in the hearts of his family, his daughters, and all those whose lives he touched.

Rest in peace, dear Raúl. May your soul find the peace and the home it always searched for. Amen.
