RIP Gav

R.I.P. Gav - 21/9/2011 - Our beloved Gavin Larkin passed away this afternoon at 3.28pm. He was surrounded by his family and the love that he has created. He will never be forgotten for who he was, how he lived and what he has left behind. I know I speak on behalf of all that knew him when I say Gav, thank you for being you. The world is a better place for having had you in it.
The Larkin family would like to thank everybody who has contributed to this blog. The messages have been a constant source of support and wonderful memories that the family will cherish forever. They have been overwhelmed by all the good wishes, lovely words, food & flowers. The community around Gavin, Maryanne, Gus, Josie and Van has been wonderful and made an enormous difference. Thank you to all.

May we suggest, if you would like to offer further support, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to one of the following nominated causes: RUOK? Day Donations or Cure For Life

Hello Gavin,

Having just watched my recorded Australian story that featured your story I feel compelled to write to you and say God Bless you and your family on the journey you are on.

Having lost my much loved Mum to cancer 6 years ago last month and thankfully survived my own battle with cancer 2 years later much of what you spoke of with your battle and the battle of your son makes it all seem like yesterday. Rather shockingly I was not aware of the day you created in time to celebrate it this year but have already earmarked it in my diary for 2012 and will be sure to get right behind it every year going forward and use the best of the communications skills I have been blessed with to help spread the word

The strength and courage of you and your family is an inspiration to all and leaves behind a true life legacy of which you can all be so proud. My thoughts and prayers will be with your family in the coming weeks and months.

So it seems the other side is going to call you shortly so may you go in peace and my wish for your beautiful wife, children and family once you arrive there is that like my Mum you will be a very active spirit for them all.

Sincerely,

Melissa Arbuthnot
