This memorial website was created in memory of our Gavin, our glue, our heart, our best friend, our family.
We are asking for people to please leave a story of a time they shared with Gavin, funny... sad... wonderful... important. Gavin had a huge love for music so feel free to add a song or video or even a picture if you cannot find the words. We want this site to be for everyone who shared a moment with him. It is so hard to try to go on when someone so special to so many people leaves us. We hope that the stories, pictures, videos and music will help us all to heal.
The family has requested that in lieu of sending flowers that donations be made to
his C.A.S.T. for Kids Fundraising Event in Honor of Gavin, King of Redfish. Here is the link: https://impact.castforkids.org/fundraise?fcid=957262
He was such a blessing to so many people. Strangers became friends and then became family to him quickly realizing he had a pure heart and was one of a kind. His kind of love was honest, pure and all-encompassing. He went beyond caring and loving and tried his hardest to get everyone to love that way. He always saw the bright side, gave as much as he possibly could and always saw the best in people. He was our rock and our glue and we know he was that to a lot of people. Gavin would hate us sitting around moping, he would be the first to tell us to "Get Up! Let's go for a beer" and sit around with us hoping only to make us better.
Tributes
Leave a tributeYou were my rock. You knew everything about me, my hurts, my silly stories, my good times and you accepted me for who I was and was always there for me. You've put my heart back together more times than I can count. I will always remember all of our travels through California, Virginia, Florida, Vegas and more. I am so thankful that you were on my music accounts so I have plenty of your songs and playlists to choose from when I am sad and need to share your music with you. Kapri and Kaiya miss you so much.

Thanksgiving with Gavin
Gavin and Dad came out to visit us on Thanksgiving this past year. This was such a good visit and we got to sit around with Gavin and talk and drink tequila, brandy and beer. We cooked amazing meals each night and we played music, games and sat around and laughed and told stories. Drinking with Gavin was always so much fun because he was so silly and fun to be around. We also drove up to Julian to see the town and pitter around the antique shops and stores. Kapri and Kaiya stole his phone from him the moment he got here and Gavin downloaded games for them and played kid videos for them to watch. They donned him Apple Gavin because Kaiya couldn't say the word "uncle" and it stuck. He loved it! He helped me put them to bed each night he was here and read books to them in some adorable voices. They loved thier Apple Gavin and will miss him so very much.
