Dana Garvin Obituary
GARVIN, Dana K. Dana (Krum) Kirkwood Garvin, born November 6, 1961 in Hartford, died Thursday, (September 15, 2005) in a tragic boating accident in Noank. He resided in Canton, for the last 18 years. Beloved husband of 15 years and best friend of Heather Lowell Garvin, he is survived by his father Gordon (Jiggs) Garvin and Elise (Reese) Garvin (step-mother) of Old Lyme, his mother, Joyce Corrow Garvin Bentley of Cromwell; Parents-in-law, Walter and Phyllis Lowell of Avon; siblings, Beth Garvin of Old Lyme, Neal Garvin and his wife Joanne of Avon, Lisa Garvin of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, step-sister Susan (Binky) and David King of Lyme, sister-in-law, Dawn Lowell and David Hudon of Canton; nieces and nephews, James, Gordon, Ryan, and Lauren Garvin, Bet and Sarah Miner, Crystal, Corey, and Daniel King and great niece, Layla Miner Foley. A native of Old Lyme, Dana grew up on the shore at Hawk's Nest Beach where he developed a love of the water, fishing, boating and tennis. After graduating from Old Lyme High School in 1979, he attended Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston followed by The University of Hartford where he received a BS degree in Electrical Engineering. It was while working in Boston for Brankamp Corp that he was introduced to Heather by his cousin Kim whose parents were good friends with the Lowell family for many years. This relationship introduced Dana to golf and the business of running a golf course. He soon left the engineering world to become Assistant Superintendent of Canton Public Golf Course. The extended Garvin and Lowell families were firmly bonded when Dana and Heather married in 1989. Most recently, he worked as Facilities Manager for Ocean Surveys Inc. in Old Saybrook. Dana exemplified the family tradition as depicted on the family crest "Always Helping". He was a skilled craftsman and could fix anything from old wooden boats to computers and would do so for anyone at any time. His passion for sailing was inspired by his late uncle Perry Garvin, who was also an avid sailor. Dana recently became Webmaster and Public Relations Chairman of the Off Soundings Club. Dana was greatly loved by his friends and family and will be sorely missed. Contributions can be made in his memory to: Hawks Nest Beach Jetty Preservation Fund, c/o Steve Rosenfield, 28 West End Drive, Old Lyme, CT 06371. These funds will be used to fulfill his dream of protecting and preserving the waterfront for generations to come. The memorial service will be held on Monday, September 19, 2005 at 2 p.m. on "S Street", Hawk's Nest Beach, Old Lyme, CT. The family will greet friends from 12 to 2 p.m. For directions: www.hawksnestbeach.com Vincent Funeral Home, 120 Albany Turnpike, Canton has charge of arrangements.

Oh Krum...It's been a while since I've been here. You were in my dreams the other night. Can't believe it's been it will be 17 years since you left us in a few days. Over Memorial weekend, Janis, Kimmy, Leslie, Misty AND Lisbet (remember her from Denmark? She was the foreign exchange student staying with RPG's family). We talked about you...laughed, sitting out front in the sand. Thanks for giving us great weather. You'd love Ed Valpey's new boat. Neal is diligently fixing every panel, every screw on the Chris craft... he retired last spring, so no excuses! He fired up the new engine and putting it in the boat is the next step! He shared the older video Ryan took of you revving the old engine in your garage. Hope to see that baby in the water next summer?? I miss Mom - she joined you in May 2016. I've totally remodeled her condo, what a treat to be here! Keep those big hugs coming, see you in my dreams. Love and miss you...xoxox Stink

Happy Birthday, Big D. The big 50...there's gotta be a party going on! You were mentioned several times today at a luncheon at La Trot celebrating Layla's baptism...all the Lowell clan, Neal, Joanne, Liam and I, plus the minister, Linda. In an email Donna Morgan sent thoughts of you. Much love to you, my love...don't eat too much cake!!!

Hello there, my dear,
I'm late again this year in writing to you, for which I am sorry. Initially I couldn't get to this place on the guest book site and then time got away from me.
Well, the big news for this year is the arrival of baby Liam. I sure hope you are able to enjoy him too. He is the absolute light of my life...just a handsome bundle of smiles and fun. I spend every Thursday afternoon with him and love every minute of it. He is a miracle blessing. Neal is a real hands-on daddy and so much fun to watch.Thank you for whatever part you played in bringing Liam to us.
Dad will turn 90 years old in November and Fitz was 91 in Sept. There is a big party scheduled for Dad at Cherrystones the day after Turkey Day. There are a lot of invitees. I'll be 80 on 12/31...not too eager to have the years advance. Can you do something about that???
More big news is that James and Missy are expecting a baby boy early in Jan. So, in the same year I will become a grandmother and great grandmother.
Everyone in the family is doing well. The car you bought me is doing well also. Keep up the good work at sending blessings to us all. I know you are watching over us. Miss you, my dear, and often laugh when I remember some incident you created. Often the computer goes into a slide show and there are many pics of you. Love, love, love. Mom

Hi there, Big D,
I have no idea why it has taken me a full week to write this, especially when there are such great things to talk about. Have just been reluctant. Perhaps because doing it makes me think about you in more depth. However, I talk to you every morning and you are in my mind all the time. The many pics of you in the computer run across the screen when I listen to music and many of them provoke a chuckle!
Great things have been happening lately. Probably you looked down on it all. Misty spent most of her week at HNB sewing a quilt from 60 (get that, 60) of your t-shirts. They made both sides! It is awesome!! Several of the cousins helped out a bit: Beth, Lisa, Kim, etc. What a labor of love and what a keepsake. Heather was thrilled.
There was a surprise 50th birthday for Hattie at the beach on Labor Day weekend organized by Joanne and Sarah...under a huge tent, catered, and dozens of people. Hattie was indeed surprised and she was so pleased.
Lastly, and you probably had a word with the man up there to arrange this miracle, JOANNE IS PREGO!That news knocked the sox off of everyone as each was told. IT'S A BOY! Due 12/25. What a Christmas gift!! Neal has a wrap-around grin on all the time. It'll be some fun watching the two of them with an infant. How their lives will change. Please watch over Joanne and the baby so that all will be well.
I'm going to HNB for a couple of days to stay with Donna, James is there and
Fitz will be 90 on Sat. Gotta hug her!
Speaking of hugs, I'm sure you know that I remember the last hug from you with great love...in the kitchen of W1 as you were leaving for work and I was leaving to come home.
So, my sweet, please keep on looking after all of us. We all love you and miss you. Now that 5 years have passed we remember all the many, many fun times you made us laugh. It's a little easier now, my sweet. Mom

Dana,
Yesterday was the five year anniversary of your passing. Five years and I still can't say your name and death in the same sentence without breaking down in tears. I continue to send you roses every year out on the jetty you worked so hard to protect and fix.
I always remember the date since it is exactly one week before my birthday. This year it's the big 3-0 and I am saddened every year that goes by that you can't be there with me and making fun of everyone in your line of site.
You never talked to me like a kid growing up....you always talked to me as though I was on the same level as you and it made me feel like the most special kid in the world. The infamous Dana, talking to a kid like me.
I am just thankful that you were at my wedding and I watch my DVD of my wedding and remember you, often. Remember when you pushed Alice into the middle of the circle of people dancing...chair and all?
You are my guardian angel and I look out at the horizon at HNB and think of you.....just you....and for a short time while I am staring out into the distance I forget your even gone.
I love you and I miss you greatly. On your anniversary and on the way to my birthday. I regret growing older for fear of growing further away from you.
I am sorry that it has taken me so long to write in here but your passing has been extremely hard for me to deal with, even five years later. Why are the best ones always taken too soon? You left a permanent mark on everyone who knew you, met you, was graced by your presence and even just heard stories of you. You'll never be forgotten. Most of all by me...you touched my life so deeply for just a week shy of twenty-five years....you’re in my heart, my soul, my mind from my birth to the end of my days.
Please watch over me, keep me safe and please give me guidance in all that I do with my life....I want to be able to live up to your potential and the potential I know you saw in me.
~All my love..Michelle (Montgomery)Siems

Oh Krum! You are a shining star, and were shining down on me with a little extra love and laughs as I sat on a dock among rows of sail boats at one of my peacful retreats in Florida. You are with me always in my thoughts, dreams, and prayers. A big hug to you for always keeping me safe on my motorcycle! I thank you for that, as well as for the lessons I continually learn from you. I thank you for the smiles and giggles you give us all . We are all always connected; keep the good stuff coming! By the way - Mom's fish tank is once again alive and doing well....thanks to your Goldfish crackers you taped to the outside !!! You are one in a million. Love as always, Lisa

Hey, Big D! Just read an email from Heather...she is so thoughtful to think of my well-being today. The fact that you left us four years ago today really means nothing...time has no boundries...four or forty...its all the same. I talk to you each morning and think of you each day in some of the countless happy situations that made your life so meaningful to us all. I hear your chuckle and feel a bear hug. Love is always in the air, my boy! Look after us all! Mom

Krum - thanks for being in my dreams so frequently! Your spirit is so alive and around me constantly. You were shining down on us last night through the big, bright, full beautiful moon and you sang to me on the radio "Sailing Away" (Styx). Always stay close - we miss you!! Love, Lisa

Hi Dane Jane ( aka "Dangel!")
Thanks sooo much for bringing the sunshine out yesterday after a doomy-gloomy day before! No doubt you've made connections w/the guy in charge of lighting!
I think of you often, . A Gragiant shiny tanker with your name in big bright yellow colors pulled up along side of me at a stop light on route 9 yesterday! I replied hello back to you!!! The truck was spotless and well cared for just as everything you put your hands to be it the boat, some new steps, shingles on a roof or crafting a gag gift for some unbeknownst recipient!!
Thanks for taking care of me and keeping me safe when I've had a few close calls." I was just missed by a big tree limb falling in my yard last week during some high winds as well as a typical Mass driver running a red light in my path while on my way to work, to name just a few!
Thank you! I never think of you as gone.....just since you moved "out of the nieghborhood" things have not quite been the same but "thanks for the memories" and just imagine the more we'll make when we all rondesvous again! I will always remember you explaining to Andy's fiance that You, Julie and I were more like brother and sisters then cousins. What an honor (unless you ask one of my own sisters I suppose! hah!) Anyone lucky enough to have known you as an aquintance, fellow employee, friend or family was/am blessed for a bazillion and one reasons!
On that note, I gotta run! "Kitty-Kitty!!! Love, Leslie

It's been three very long years, my boy, and I still am sorting out my emotions. I was out on the deck with my coffee at 4:45 this a.m. and there was the huge full Harvest Moon sending your good vibes down to me. Pretty breezy as well. Pictured you at the helm! It has been said that if you never stop loving the one you lose, you will never lose the one you love. So true, so true. I've come to think of you as one of the angels around us...happy, loving, comical and caring...and very close by. Please continue to keep all the loved ones safe, especially Ryan, who had a motorcycle accident a week ago. He needs your protection. I love you, my son, and I need a hug!!

Hey Krum - thanks for being my Guardian Angel! Misty gave me a beautiful silver shell necklace the day we celebrated your passing. (Remember when you cut your index finger on a shell and got stitches when you were just a "widda-boy?"). I always hold the necklace and ask you to keep me safe before I start my motorcycle.
About 3 weeks ago, you were with me as a car pulled out in front of me. Your face flashed in my mind as I nearly missed the car. What a comforting feeling to know you are so close! By the way - you were with Mom and I twice last May, keeping us safe on our road trip from Myrtle Beach to Hershey for Gordo's graduation, then on to HNB...a truck with "Dana" on the back and mud flaps passed us. When I said a silent prayer and asked you to stay with us from Hershey to HNB, you did just that...we passed a Krumsville exit sign! Neal and Joanne saw it driving ahead of us. I was prepared this time, took a picture, and many family members have a copy. Thanks for being my Guardian Angel! Take good care of Heather, especially Mom and Dad, and all who love and miss you so much. Visit us in our dreams.
xox, Lisa

Hey there, Krum. Two years today. Couldn't write anything last year, but this year I'm filled with joy at the great memories that are with me on a daily basis. Neal brought your boat to HNB for Labor Day weekend. Bless him for that. On Monday, Dad, Beth, James, Neal, Joanne and I went up the river to Gelston House in it. We knew you were with us. Yesterday and today are the Off Soundings races (for which you were preparing). Ryan is a part of Pete M's crew. It's raining this a.m. That'll stop but it'll be windy. Please be with them and keep everyone safe, eh? Chose not to go to HNB for sunrise this year...there won't be a sunrise anyway. Having dinner tonight with Neal, Joanne, Heather and Dave. There'll be a happy toast to you, my boy. Our love for you is so strong and we know you feel it, as we feel your spirit with us. Love, love, love...and thanks for helping me live in all the joyful memories. I can hear your laugh. I feel those giant hugs. I can hear you say "Mom, how did you know?"

The word that comes to mind when I think of Dana is exceptional. He was exceptional as a worker, a craftsman, a comedian and most importantly as a friend. Although I had not seen him much the last few years I think of him often and miss him dearly. Happy Belated Birthday ol' buddy. God bless and goodspeed.

A day has not passed that Dana has not crossed our minds. He was always the "fixer" and the person that you could call and ask how to get something going that wasn't quite right. We will truely miss his "spark". One was never allowed to just sit down and do nothing when Dana was around. His energy transfered to everyone arond him and his sense of humor and his love of pranks always stimulated all of us to get involved. We feel blessed to have known Dana and Heather. We love you and we miss Dana. Lots of love Marcia and Jeff

Dana was really one of those folks that held everyone together; the glue that stuck to each person involved with friends, family, HNB, the golf course, and other places. I could hardly believe the outpouring of touched lives a few mondays ago during his service, living proof of how much his life meant to others.
Life will never be the same without Krum around, but like so many others that have departed this world before him, he joins the pantheon of old friends and family watching over us from afar - many of whom I'm sure Dana has missed himself, and is glad to be with once again.
Remember Dana, and he will remember us, in an especially great summer day, in the laughter of those having far too much fun, and on warm night winds when it just doesn't seem time to sleep. He will be there.

Oh Dana! Nothing pleased me more than the ease and sincerity with which you reassumed our relationshsip each time I made a trip home. You certainly knew how to make up for lost time by catching up on laughs, genuine concern and interest in my recent adventures and future plans, and mostly, hoping the next trip home would be much sooner than later. You were never, ever very far away! I, like all of us, will miss you dearly on this earth, but it is comforting to know that you are and always will be close by and close to my heart. You gave me peace with your recent visits to me in the form of bluebirds and hawk, circling close by. Keep it up - I love you, Lisa
Forever shining!

It is with deepest sympathy and sadness that I sign this guestbook. My condolences to the entire Garvin and extended family. My fondest childhood memories are of the Garvin family and Hawks Nest Beach such that I have had the incredible opportunity to continue to spend the best part of my summer with my three children and husband in S-4 for 6 years now. Reese and Jiggs have both been such a pleasure to spend my vacation with just chatting about the sound and all of its history and beauty. As a teen, Binky and Julie were my summertime "idols;" horseback riding on the beach! Now I have had the pleasure of spending time with Ryan, Lauren (and all the arts and crafts) and Dan. And, Grub, you know how you hold a very special place in my heart! With warmest wishes for this great family to be able to comfort eachother through the pain and sadness in the loss of your loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Heather,
What can I say? I learned the news today (23 Sep) and am deeply saddened. We just saw Dana from a distance at the Canton Lobster fest. He looked like he always did...relaxed, happy, and just barely smiling. Ari and I extend the deepest condolence that friends - and extended family - can provide. We already miss seeing Dana on the big mower in our back yard, and will now miss the occasional sightings of him even more. He represented the typical Lowell tradition in Canton...humilty, service, and civility to others. We greatly miss him already. So sorry again. Please stop in and see us when you drive by 10 Lovely St. Friends are there for you. Drew and Ari Bartkiewicz

I never knew Dana, but I knew about him from his Mom. She painted a picture in my mind of a extraordinary, giving, loving, talented man who always lived life to the fullest. She always talked about how he had found his soulmate in Heather; that they were a perfect match made in Heaven. She told me stories that attested to him as a wonderful friend, a helpfull and loving son, a fantastic fun loving brother, a kind and generous uncle and a husband extraordinaire! He is a perfect example of what every young man should aspire to be. I am sorry I never had a chance to get to know him. He will live on in the hearts of everyone he loved. Morn his passing and then celebrate his life. Remember his smile and his laugh and keep them in your heart.

I’ve known Dana nearly half of my life and although our paths crossed more frequently in the warmer months, our meetings were always warm and light as true friends we are. It wasn’t until the Fall 2004 Off Soundings Race that I saw the true measure of Dana as a man, fearless and strong, with the ability and knowledge to conquer any and all situations he would encounter. His passion for the sea and his love of family and friends are legacies we all will never forget.
May God and Jamie protect you.
