Timothy Alan Davias, 42, a building engineer at Washington area hotels and apartments, died June 1 at a Red Roof Inn in Fairfax County.

He was at the hotel while moving between Chantilly and the Fort Belvoir area of Fairfax.

A spokeswoman for the Fairfax medical examiner said determination of the cause of death is pending tests.

He was born in Butler, Pa., and raised mostly in Alexandria. He left high school and at 17 joined the Navy but was discharged after neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder of the nervous system, was diagnosed.

Afterward, he became certified in boiler repair and received a license as an air-conditioning technician. Among the places he worked was the old Wyndham Bristol Hotel in Northwest Washington.

Survivors include his mother, Jeanette Davias of Springfield; and a half-sister.
