Dustin James Davenport – February 5, 2017

Dustin James Davenport

Dustin James Davenport was a kind and loving son who had many hopes for his future. He was born July 20, 1985, in Susanville, California, to Sherry Chappuis Hunt and Matt Davenport. Dustin lost his life at the young age of 31 on February 5, 2017, in Reno, Nevada. Dustin had struggles in life that called him to his Heavenly home early; he was received in the Loving arms of his Heavenly Father and beloved grandparents.

Dustin lived in Susanville until he was 16, where he attended Meadow View and Lassen High School, before moving to Minden, Nevada, where he attended high school. He later moved to Reno, Nevada. He had been attending school in Reno for welding, in the hopes of one day working in the trade with his dad.

Dustin had a wonderful relationship with his grandparents. He loved hunting and fishing with his grandpa, Jim Hunt. Oh, the stories he could tell you! Spending the day hunting in the woods with his grandfather was one of his favorite things to do; he dreamed of following in his grandpa’s footsteps and becoming a hunting guide one day. We know he is in Heaven with Jim, laughing and telling hunting stories. He also had a deep love and respect for his grandmother, Barbara Hunt, and enjoyed spending quality time with her over a cup of coffee. Moreover, he loved to visit grandparents Clete and Sue Davenport in Fort Jones, California, where he enjoyed riding horses with his sister.

Dustin was a great talker with a wonderful sense of humor; he could strike up a conversation with anyone and talk for hours, especially if it was about the things he loved. He loved to be outdoors, whether in the mountains or the desert, and always wanted to be out hiking, fishing, or camping.

Dustin will be greatly missed and is survived by a large, loving family: parents Sherry Chappuis Hunt, Matt and Michelle Davenport, sons Wyatt and Axill, sisters Kayla (Brian) Burt and Kena Longabaugh, brothers Derek Robertson, Ethan, Izak, and Deric Davenport, sister Katrina Davenport, step-sister Julisa Edwards, step-brother Josh Edwards, nieces and a nephew, Betty and Ron Porter, and lots of aunts and uncles. He is preceded in life to the great forest in Heaven by his grandparents Jim Hunt and Barbara Hunt, and Clete and Sue Davenport.

As per Dustin’s request, he will be cremated, and a celebration of life will be Saturday, February 11, at 2:00 PM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (935 Mercedes Drive, Sparks 89436) in Spanish Springs, Nevada. A viewing will be held at O’Brien Rogers & Crosby (600 W. 2nd Street, Reno) on Friday, February 10 at 3:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests you talk to your children repeatedly about the devastating effects of addiction and intervene with loved ones who struggle with this epidemic. Become an advocate and write your local legislators to increase the funding for addiction, mental health research, and treatment centers. Please do whatever it takes to fight this disease that is gripping our nation, so you never have to feel the loss we feel. Please donate to Salvation Army or local addiction recovery programs.

Why Pre-plan?

Thinking about your own funeral leaves most people feeling a little uneasy, but more adults are finding that pre-planning a funeral offers great emotional and even financial security for them and their families. With pre-planning, families find comfort in knowing that the funeral reflects what their loved one wanted. It also gives them peace of mind to not have to make important decisions at a stressful time. Click here to visit Walton’s Funeral Home
