Gavin has always been someone everyone likes to be around. Gavin was a loving, happy, charming and sweet young boy. His eyes were like little marbles with specs of blue and green like his grandmother.
He brought joy into the lives of so many people. Gavin was loved by his family and friends.
Gavin enjoyed playing many sports, baseball, football, soccer and wrestling. His favorite sport was baseball. He spent a lot of time playing basketball at his home with friends and his grandfather, Mickey, Poppa Tom and other family members.
Gavin had the prettiest curly hair. He kept it trimmed close, the top had long flowing curls. He enjoyed wearing the latest stylish clothes, tight jeans with holes in them, a tee shirt and tennis shoes. He loved shopping with Gram. After shopping she would always take him to Pizza Street for pizza. Pizza Street and Buffalo Wild Wings were his two favorite places to eat.
Of course there were some of his jeans that he preferred over others. Recently he had a rip in several pairs of jean, so he ask Gram if she would patch them - she looked at the jean - shook her head and patched the holy jeans. He was pleased - with the holes in the jeans you could not tell where the patch was.
Gavin enjoyed playing video games. He has been known to spend hours playing. Other games he enjoyed was Monopoly, playing dice and other board games.
Gavin's sister, Irey is disabled and requires a lot of care. He has always been concerned about her well being and knowing how to care for her.
Gavin will be missed by all.
