Gavin went to the Lycée Canadien en France in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat for his last year of High School were I met him in 1990. We became great friends and had so many amazing stories together. Met his wondefull parents that were stationed in Germany on the US Canadien air base near Frankfurt. He always thank me for helping him into Harvard because I became his running coach (lol). Later in Toronto, met his amazing brothers David and Ryan during my college years. Great guys. Later I went back to France and met his girlfriend future wife Leslie on her Harvard mission Let's Go Europe which she was the editor. I only spoke to him few times afterwards when he came back with his family from Kenya. He was really a great friend, lots of happy moment that I always remember today when I look in the past. Thank you Gavin. RIP

I grew up with Gavin for a time in Holberg. Same classes, hung out and generally had childhood fun with him. Much too young to die. RIP Gavin.

Gavin was my neighbour and classmate in the mid eighties when our father's were stationed in Holberg, BC. He was smart, kind, and so much fun to hang out with. I loved having him in my class. I am not surprised that he went on to accomplish so many incredible things. My heartfelt condolences to Mr. & Mrs. Sword, David, Ryan, his wife, children, extended family and friends. Rest in Peace Gavin.

I submitted a message but don´t see it now, I´m sorry if it posts twice. I just ran across this obituary tonight. After seeing his Facebook page locked, I decided to google and this is not what I wanted to see. I keep hoping it´s one if his pranks, I really want it to be. He was a treasure of a friend that I met in high school, we had such a good time laughing. I have every picture and letter he sent when he was at boarding school - so many funny things he did. We kept in touch for a few years after college, and I had only found him again maybe a year and a half ago. I wanted to say hi to him tonight. I´m heartbroken, and I´m praying for peace and comfort for his family and friends. His passing will leave a hole in all our hearts.

I don´t want this to be true. I´m so sorry. Gavin was a dear friend from high school. We laughed so so much and I´ve told my children so many funny stories about Gavin. I had just found him within the last year or two and tonight I was hoping to message him and say hi, and ran across this obituary. I have so many letters from when he went to boarding school, and pictures he sent me of him and his friends. He was an amazing human being, truly wonderful and one of the reasons I enjoyed my high school years so much. These picture are from those days. 4th of July with his family on their sailboat in Yorktown, and dancing in our living room. He never shied away from an opportunity to bring joy. I´m heartbroken and just wanted to share that after all these years, he is still so dear to me! I keep this pictures on my phone all the time. Precious Sword family, I´m so sorry and I pray for comfort for you all. Sending love to you all.

Wow, words don't express the sadness I felt today when my friend shared Gavin's Obituary with me. We knew each other through work but we relished speaking to each other to catch up on where we were in business and life but more importantly to find out what we were each currently reading and what literary suggestions we had for each other for the coming months. Always books that were to educate and inspire much like Gavin did with all those he interacted with. He was a great help with me in my business but it was his unique personal touch and curiosity that will really be missed. So sad for the family and he was a very special man and will be sorely missed.
