Gavin Huebner Obituary

Infant Gavin N. Huebner Battle Creek Infant Gavin Nicholas Huebner, 1 day old, of Battle Creek, MI, passed away quietly in his parent's arms on Sunday, October 26, 2008 at Spectrum Health Butterworth DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI. He was born October 25, 2008 in Battle Creek, MI the son of Robert W. Huebner, III and Lynnette Christine (Jerzyk) Huebner. Gavin is survived by his parents: Robert W. "Robb" and Lynnette Christine; maternal grandparents: Benjamin and Linda Jerzyk; maternal great-grandfather: Robert Houghtaling, all of Battle Creek; paternal grandparents: Robert W. and Mary Huebner, II of Hastings, MI; paternal great-grandmother: Ann Huebner of Fort Wayne; his aunts and uncles: John and Tracy Hart of Eldridge, Iowa, Viki and Rick Miller of Mead, NE, Joe and Teresa Huebner of Hastings, MI, Douglas and Mickayla Jerzyk of Charlotte, MI, Jeffrey and Diana Jerzyk of Galesburg, MI; and special family friends: "uncle" Ron Downs of Battle Creek and "aunt" Julie Pitcher of Bermuda. Little known facts that Gavin would want you to know are: he loved Mexican food from his Mommy, but despised Chinese food. He would keep a night schedule along with his Daddy. He liked listening to Rock 'n Roll music. His Dad's hand had a calming affect on him to make him fall asleep. Gavin's Mom will especially miss "bath time" with him. Visitation will be held at the Bachman Hebble Funeral Service after 5 p.m. Thursday, where the family will be present on Thursday from 6-8 p.m. and on Friday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. Funeral services for Little Gavin Huebner will be held Saturday 1:30 p.m. in the Bachman Funeral Chapel with Pastor Bruce A. Moore of Battle Creek Seventh-day Adventist Tabernacle officiating. Private burial will be at the Memorial Park Cemetery. Memorial tributes may be made to the family. Arrangements by the Bachman Hebble Funeral Service, a member by invitation Selected Independent Funeral Homes. (269)965-5145

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Your obituary was so touching. I work with Gavin's grandfather Bob and Bob emailed a picture of himself with Gavin and I could see the love in Bob's face for his grandson. I am so deeply sorry for your loss, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Gavins family-
I am sorry for your loss. It sounds like Gavin would have had such a great family to be part of. Although you only had him in your life for such a short time, may the memories be with you forever. I hope you go on to have brothers and sisters for Gavin, that way you can tell them about their brother in heaven and that he will be their guardian angel. Peace be with your family.
