Gavin Daniel Smith

Gavin was born in Muskegon and was a lifelong resident of the area. He attended Fruitport High School and worked as a groundskeeper, where he was fondly remembered. Gavin had a love for animals of all kind (especially his dog Jakobi and cat Thalia). He was as kind, tenderhearted person, who gave the best hugs, cared for people, but especially remembered for the love he gave to family. Gavin will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Gavin is survived by his wife Madelyn “Maddy” Smith; parents Carrie (James) Arnouts and Brian (Jackie) Smith; mother-in-law Amanda Streeter; grandparents Bob (Sue) Smith, Rick (Rita) Weldon, Bonnie DeVowe,; siblings Jaelynn (Jeff) Anderson, Tiffany (Allison Rubio) Flowers, Krystal (Chava Luna) Flowers, Elly Arnouts and Liberty Arnouts; many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

A celebration of life service for Gavin will be held July 20, 2024 at 2:00 PM at Life Change Church, 3084 Whitehall Rd., Muskegon, MI.

Donations may be made in Gavin’s memory to any humane society of your choice, or for mental health research in his honor.
