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 Gav

Just wanted to thank you for being such a huge inspiration while I've known you.

Your confidence, courage and thoughtfulness have been things I've tried to emulate. You helped me up a few times when I was down and were always willing to listen and give advice.

I actually doubt I would be where I am now if I weren't for you. Your suggestion to try Landmark was a real turning point for me, and it gave me the confidence and determination to follow my dreams and make things happen for myself. I'm now a copywriter and am loving my job, so thank you.

You've always been an inspirational leader and what you achieved with RUOK Day is incredible. The fact that you did all that whilst coping with illness makes it all the more extraordinary, and makes me proud to have known you.

All my love to you and your family.

Neil
