Gavin grew up in Waubaushene Ontario and enjoyed playing many sports and lacrosse was his favourite of all. He was also extremely talented with technology and helping others with learning it as well He enjoyed family camping trips and vacations but most of all spending time with his friends Gavin adored all animals but he held a special place in his heart for his childhood dog Winter, cats Chewy, Smokey, Ojo, Sugar & Bullseye & 3 bunnies over his life Also he loved his dad and step mothers dogs Callie, Severn and Georgia.
Gavin was typically a quiet kind hearted gentle and easy going soul who would do pretty much anything you asked of him and had a heart of gold and valued his friends.
He is genuine, intelligent, confident and brave and would stand up and speak up for what he believed in and wasn’t afraid to stand up for others. Gavin would do anything for his sister and best friend Brook who looked up to him ever since they were babies.
Gavin was dedicated to his job and had plans to further his education and become an electrician and we all know how successful he would have been at achieving his goals because he was very driven, passionate and intelligent. Gavin was an organ donor and because of this has saved 4 lives.
