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

Hi mate,
I only heard today of your struggle and frankly couldn’t believe it. How could someone so bulletproof be struck down by such an insidious disease? But then of course I remembered something you told me about why you started the RUOK campaign – bad things can happen to anybody.
I remember the last time we met we had a few beers in that French joint in Surry Hills. It was funny, poignant and I had met a bloke without a shred of self-doubt. I’m reminded of a quote and think your travels through life have been governed by such words: “The path of least resistance leads to a place called mediocrity. Those with courage seldom travel it.”
I wish you and your family the best mate. If you want to try the restorative climate of North Queensland give me a call. I’ve got a room with a view and a cold one on ice.
Wilko
