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

I was just so moved and inspired by Australian Story and by Gavin last week. I sent several messages on R U OK Day and got such a wonderful response from the people I sent them to. September 15th is on my calendar forever and I know RU OK Day will change people's lives and be a lasting memorial to Gavin. And I'll be saying RU OK lots of times to people, not just on Sept 15th.
Want can I say to his family at this moment except that little bit of your pain is my pain tonight and I feel touched that my life connected with Gavin, if only through the television screen
