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

Well you walked into the room, Maz's new man! " the one from the East" we all looked, talked a lot, and you listened, we were both very privileged to be part of the same group of mates, your love of food, good wine and a decent conversation made us all a team. We had hilarious weekends at the Hunter, Copa & in the snow fields where always the nights were long.....
Mark & I were married in April 95 at Balmoral, and how were we all to know how our futures would unravel from here, you had the biggest shock in your world, and instead of being sorry for yourself, you turned this very personal tragedy into a national campaign. We will always ask RU OK?
Mark & I would like to thank you for your non judgemental support for both of us during a very stressful time, and somehow, on that Sunday afternoon at Bobbin Head, surrounded by my 'family' my world seem to align, you have shown such tremendous strength, humanity and humility and have shown many of us how to be humble. I promise you, I will always try and look at things with a positive edge!
We have so much love for you all, our eldest children are only 3 months apart - the big kids.... we will always be there for your beautiful family, and they will be able to teach us so much , we talk about your achievements with pride and all that pride is richly deserved.

I'm so glad you were the man from the East, naughty, on those nights at Metropolis..... hilarious & funny.

Gavin Larkin - I am honoured to have you as a friend.

Love to you all,

Hellman, Mark, Olivia & Angus
