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

My Cousin Gav

Dear Gav,

Congratulations on making a difference in your life and to so many other lives. All the qualities that made you arrogant and bullish have proven to be some (but not all) of your best qualities. I've been so cross with you since my involvement in RUOKDay, and now I feel so foolish that i was to have taken any of it personally. There was a much bigger picture that clearly I just missed and for that I am sorry. I have learned a lot about myself from this experience alone and I thank you.

No need to mention your incredible family, you must be so proud. You are a powerful bunch of loving people that i am so grateful to know and be related to.

You've done it Gav, you have made the world a better place and I don't doubt that RUOKDay will save lives.

It's too little too late but I wish you great peace and love on your next journey. You are a big brave man and I love you.
