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

Dear Gavin,


As I read the comments, stories and memories that fill the pages below, I cannot help but notice it is a testament to the person you have become that they all share a common theme – all of us are better people simply for having known you.


I am proud to say it is truly a privilege to know you. You are truly a genuine person, a visionary, who puts ideas into action because they truly believe they can make the world a better place. And you have. You have a loving family, both immediate and extended, who will love and support you until their own memories fade.


Personally, I have always been very close to your loving mum. I was only young when you were first born, and will always think fondly of those years as I grew into a young man, and watched you and Anthony grow from babies in your Mum’s arms, to young men in your own right. From Rose Bay, to Manly Vale, to Chatswood, it was a joy to see you grow into the caring man you are. Michael


Know that you have lived a wonderful and fulfilling life, that has enriched the lives of those around you. Know that your strength and courage over these last few months has been inspirational. Know that you will always live in the hearts of your beautiful wife, and darling children, and family. Know that we love you, so much.


Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your Maz, Gus, Josie and Van, now and always.


May God hold you in the palm of his hand.


With lasting love, your Uncle Michael, Carmel, James, Jon, Jared and Oscar
