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
My husband and I watched Australian Story this week and we just wanted to say to you, (and this is only possible via this crazy world of communication that we now live in, that from our sheep farm in Broomehill, West Australia that we can google and find you!) that what you have achieved with RU OK? day is truly an inspiration.
Out here in rural Australia there is indeed a problem with depression and the ‘strong man’ syndrome and your concept and realisation of RU OK? is an absolute life saver.
We are so sorry to hear of your cancer, and that you are not ok.
Your legacy will live forever, in the most surprising of places.
kindest regards
Ben & Linda Hewson
