Gavin was known by his family and friends as the boy with a big, beautiful smile. Whether watching his favorite cartoons and characters, like Mickey Mouse, Curious George, and Paw Patrol, watching football and basketball games with his dad, or watching his sister perform a play at school, Gavin would smile and bring joy and happiness to those around him. He would turn an ordinary day into a memorable one with that smile. Despite his physical challenges, his unwavering strength and happiness endured, and through that, he touched the lives of those he interacted with and forever left his mark on this world.
