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, the singular name – Gavin – still rings with daunting reverberence in Orange County, California. Whether it was one of your bald-headed stares, the decision for a few months to wear suits to work, this huge man drinking light white wine at lunch, people still say, “Remember when Gavin…”
You came to Taco Bell at a time when we needed to be shaken up, and that you did. But with a gentle smile, a strong suggestion and a kind word. And the occasional, “What the fu@#*k.”
Gavin, I was lucky to have worked with you and had you in my life for nearly three years. I learned a lot about others and myself by the numerous candid and direct conversations that we shared. Please know that the Orange County crew thinks of you often, mentions your name more than you could ever imagine, and is wishing you and your family all the best through this incredibly difficult time.

Gav, the name continues to live on with splendid thoughts and genuine affection.
All of my best, mate.
