David Nicholas Arvin

One of the defining qualities of Nick’s life was his genuine kindness. He loved people, treated others with respect and compassion, offered encouragement and was always eager to help. His family was at the center of his heart, and he treasured the time spent with them, including gathering around the dinner table, celebrating milestones, sharing conversations, and simply enjoying everyday moments together. Nick was a beloved son, brother, grandson, and a relative whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and comfort to those who knew him best.

Nick was also gifted with a remarkable intellect and a love of learning. Curious by nature and disciplined in his pursuits, he approached challenges with determination and thoughtful insight. His exceptional academic achievements reflected not only his natural ability but also his diligence, perseverance, and desire to make the most of the gifts God had given him.

Above all, Nick’s faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of his life. His faith was evident not only in what he believed, but in how he treated people—with grace, patience, and genuine care. He trusted in God's promises, found strength in His presence, and sought to reflect Christ's light in both ordinary moments and significant ones. Though his time on earth was far shorter than anyone wished, the love he shared, the lives he touched, and the example of his faith will continue to bear fruit in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

Nick is survived by his parents, Jeremy Arvin and Irina Gagua, his brother, Lucas Arvin, his sister, Natalie Arvin, and his grandparents, Ralph Arvin and Deborah Arvin, as well as his grandmother, Nino Mikava. He was preceded in death by his beloved grandfather, David Gagua, whom he joins within the gates of Heaven.
