Sending you loads of love Liz. Thinking of you, Livvy and Elliot and many happy memories of Gav with you all. I met Gav as a teenager and he never changed as he got older, always up for adventure, positive and massive laugh!! Most of all full of kindness, time and generosity for his friends. RIP Gav.  💔

I am heartbroken and so sad to hear of Gav’s passing. I loved his enthusiasm for just about everything in life and his big beautiful laugh. I always admired his love and devotion to his beautiful family. Sending you lots of love Liz, Livvy and Elliott.

Rest in Peace Gav

Gav was great friend to me. He always gave me massive time and attention. He was loud, crazy, cool, positive, smiling and the most caring person all at the same time. I spent so many fun times with him. Most notably in San Diego were we formed an unbreakable bond. That time in the peak of our youth will live forever as will my friendship with Gav. 

Go Big buddy.

I’m sad to hear of Gav’s passing. He was a good soul, with an infectious love for life. I was always enjoyed his company as you were guaranteed a laugh & a good dose of optimism. My thoughts are with Liz, Livvie & Elliott during this  incredible tough time. Rest in peace Gav.
