Words cannot express how much Gavin was loved by so many. We watched Gavin grow up into an awesome, caring, polite, young man. Scott and Gavin used to play in my front yard when we were his neighbors in Honey Brook. Scott feels like he's lost a brother. The boys would play in my front yard all day until Gavin was called home. Now Gavin was truly called home to God....may he rest in eternal peace ... much love goes out to Jennifer, Steve, Brandon and Sarah Manness. He will never be forgotten.

I want to offer my deepest condolences to Gavins family. He was such a kind person, and had a huge heart. I was close friends with Gavin right after high school, and had the pleasure of grtting to know him really well. I wont be able to attend his funeral because I am expected to have my baby this week, which really bothers me because I want to be there more than anything. I will be praying and fighting to help in anyway I can.
