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

Gavin,
Reading this blog has reminded me what an amazing human being you are, and surpassed my already huge assumptions on how many lives you have touched and enhanced.
I didn’t have the pleasure / honour / privilege to know you to the depth or length of time as most people who have posted on here, but our brief time together at Y&R showed me what it takes to be an inspiring leader and, more importantly, just a great bloke. It was a fantastic place to work when you were at the helm – Walshy’s post brought back some great memories – and it was great to watch your career from the sidelines blossom even further.
I last saw you at Bronte Road Bistro last year when you were dining with friends and family at a table near to us. You come over to say hello, that smile of yours bringing light with it wherever it went, despite the struggle you were enduring.
RUOK? is a brilliant initiative and, although I now live back in the UK, I will promote its essence here and ask that potentially life changing question as often as I can.
Your legacy is immense and my thoughts and love are with you and your family.
Adam Johnson
