I first met Gav when we worked together at MBF/Bupa and I remember when Liz asked me what I thought of him, my reply was “gawwwd, that loud Irish guy??!” Little did I know that the loud Irish guy would become a most treasured partner to Liz, a most treasured dad to Livvie and Elliott, a most treasured human, a most treasured friend. Gav was always in my corner, one of my biggest cheerleaders. I will never forget the times we spent in Australia and Bali, and he always made sure Liz and I could hang out or go away together. We shared a love of nice champagne and a good cocktail (not sure about the Caesar tho). He made a killer scrambled eggs for a hangover. I will forever cherish the times we spent sipping cocktails overlooking the rice paddies or the ocean. I cant make any sense of this. I don’t think I ever will. Thank you Gav for your friendship, your generosity, for the big hearty laughs but most of all your kindness. Big love G man xx

Dear Liz, I was deeply saddened to hear of Gav’s sudden passing. I hadn’t seen him since Ricky & Nicole’s wedding but he was still full of energy and fun. We knew each other as kids as our Mums were friends and the we’d bump into each other around Dublin or more on flying trips to meet the gang in Sydney. So sorry for your, Olivia and Elliot loss. RIP

Our thoughts are with you, Olivia and Elliott. I’m sure we share the feelings of Gav’s many friends, we are beyond sad. Gav was the loveliest of men and we’ll never forget the good times we had with you both.

Gav you will be sorely missed gone too soon. I remember the good times from our youth in Dublin and travels to the US - SD3 and Oz. Always with a smile on your face and can do attitude, which I will always remember. We’ll miss you and the ever bant you bring, which is captured when we last met at Ricky Nicole’s Wedding. Liz please accept my sincere condolences and I hope you can find strength in the coming days weeks and months. Cheers Gav, may you rest in peace.

Sending you and your family love and strength Liz. I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember you always talking about Gav at work with a big smile on your face. He was clearly a very loved husband and father. May he always be in your hearts. Xx Annabey

Gav was a truly fantastic guy. Fun, funny and a kind, genuine friend, he always had great stories to tell. He lived life to the full and enjoyed every minute. Gav was also a great listener. Many times I shared work problems with him and he always had time to listen and gave me great advice. He really cared and gave me confidence that I could solve any problem. Gav was a hands-on, loving dad. He was great with our kids too. We had many a fun day at Easts or at each other's houses. Always with a lot of wine and sore heads the next day. I still can't believe he is gone. I am heartbroken. Sending much love to Liz and the kids.
