Sunday, August 7, 2022, was a beautiful day in heaven as Gavin Puhl lost his five and a half year battle with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). Born on April 12th 2017, Gavin’s remarkable life and his journey with HLHS captured the hearts of all who knew and loved him and inspired other heart families internationally. His constant smile and beautiful personality made him an inspiration. Bringing laughter to everyone in his life with his antics, Gavin’s small soft hugs and fondness for cars and chocolate donuts, will be deeply missed by all who loved him. Gavin is lovingly remembered by his parents Jazna and Kevin, and family members; Auntie Koda, Uncle Bren, Uncle Mitch, Auntie Jocelyn, Auntie Rhiannon, Grandma Carmen, Grandpa Murray, Papa Steve, Grandma and Grandpa Puhl, Great Grandma and Grandpa Henry, Great Grandpa and Grandma Higa, Great Grandma De Jong, along with his chosen family and his cats Nimbus and Sarum. The family is incredibly grateful to all the nurses, doctors, and hospital staff at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and the Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, who helped make these years possible. Gavin’s life was a miracle and he was surrounded by enough love and affection to fill even the longest of lives. Give heaven some hell little man. A private Celebration of Gavin’s life will take place at a later date. Donations may be made directly to the family at https://gofund.me/982613f8 or to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital. Arrangements entrusted to David Polzen.
