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

The Ripple Effect


Just a short note to remind you Gav that the RIPPLE EFFECT is an amazing and powerful thing.
I met Maz and your kids with Bec in Laguna and clearly I missed out not meeting you at that time!

The thing is though, that (a bit like Jesus really!!!), extraordinary people come to influence a much bigger circle than they can ever know.

I have followed your journey through Bec and, like lots of others, have been gobsmacked and horrified by it all. Beyond ordinary imagination as far as I am concerned.

What I focus on though, is you and your families courage and humour, honesty and intelligence in the face of the greatest fear we all share. It seems to me, that despite illness, you are continuing to really live every moment of your life in your own best way and that lights the path for all of us.

Many thanks Gav....and believe me my daughter will do what she says.
