Leslie, I can’t even imagen  all you been going through this months - my heart goes to you .

 I love you my sweet friend❤️  Our deepest sympathy for you and your family during this difficult time. 

Gracie and Tim S. 

Rest in peace Gavin. You were so gifted and loved.

We lost a Great Man today

I lost my best friend

I’m going to put my heart on the table right now

I am deeply saddened to share this news

Gavin Summers, may he rest in peace.

Truly my best friend.

He shared all the splendors of life with everyone he met.

Gavin’s Love, Honesty, Integrity, Sense of Humor, and his Intellectual and Artistic gifts were tuned up to the max. And his humble demeanor tied it all together.

Gavin introduced me to Comedy.

His musical talent was untouchable. When we were young, he played Jimi Hendrix ‘The Wind Cries Mary’ to me and sung, I had never heard that song before. I fell in love with a whole new type of music for the first time.

Our conversations always carried on for hours into the wee hours of the morning.

We were going to start a podcast together

About to order the mic’s, they are in my Amazon shopping cart right now

He was born with an abundance of wisdom. He could access it at any second and tied everything together with humor.

He added value to everything, everywhere he went, such a gift, the Midas touch

I’ve never felt so crushed.

I can’t believe he’s gone. I’ll never get to say goodbye. Never get to hear him laugh again. Never get to see him smile.

I wish everyone could have met him. What a gem

….

I wanted to be old men together and laugh and be best brothers. Nope.

There’s only one of you. Only one Gavin Lee Summers

Gavin, You were going to be our babies godfather. And teach him all your shenanigans. I can’t believe this

The last conversation we had on the phone was one of the best, I’m so happy to say that

God bless you. No pain. No suffering

Just Peace and Love

I f*cking miss you

I love you

I’ll see you on the other side brother 🎸

If there are any lessons I would pick to share from this experience so far, they would be:

Truly have no regrets.

Love your friends hard.

Give without expectation.

Be impeccable with your word

Randomly compliment people as you seek their values.

Explore your talents and allow others exploit them for you.

If you’re scared to leave your town and explore the world, plan the trip, ask a friend who travels, buy the ticket and commit

Charge at your fear monsters and annihilate them, you’ll realize they were each just a small thing, a thought

Try, and try hard.

Don’t take anything personally.

Care. Practice self care, it will overflow into your relationships.

Love, forgive others and FORGIVE YOURSELF.

Let go of all grudges, forgive them.

Don’t make assumptions.

Let love in, let others love you and accept their love.

Give. Give. Give. Seek allies and don’t be a lone wolf.

Always do your best.

This one’s for Gavin:

Last but not least, be grateful for and protect this republic, this country, our freedoms, here in the United States of America 🇺🇸 🎸 🎶 we’ve got it really good

“Think good thoughts, do good deeds”

-Gavin Lee Summers
