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

Gav,
Where to start?...we go so far back....together for the first time as your Pizza Hut, then KFC Client, then as your friend, meeting the gorgeous Maz and then the kids, and finally working with you again years later. We have had so many funny times, long lunches, laughs and lunatic ideas together.

We also shared tough times when someone we loved passed too soon years ago. So many bonding moments and so many lifetime memories for me.

You are an amazing person.
A lover of life and family and friends.
An inspiration to everyone you touch.

Someone I think of often, and from whom I have learned so many lessons along our friendship journey. Someone who will never be forgotten for the passion and pilgrimage with which you started R U OK? Day. A true blue Aussie soldier who fought and fought with an ever optimistic view for much more of that wonderful life you deserved and were blessed with.

I know I am a better person for knowing you, and for sharing special times with you and Maz.
You will forever have a place in my heart and both Phil & I send you all our love, thoughts and wishes...know that we are thinking of you and the family with warmth and wonderment.

William Wordsworth said... “The best portion of a good man's life - his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.”

This is a perfect summation of what you have brought, always, to our lives.
