My son, a UTK student, told me about your terrible loss tonight. Please know that our family is praying you. May God be very real & provide for you as you face this horrendous heartbreak. This world is not our home, & I know that it brings comfort knowing that Gavin loved, served, & is now with his Lord & Savior, but I know that he'll be sorely missed for now...

I remember the first day I moved into the neighborhood...17 + years ago, there's not a day that I can think of that Gavin, Joey, Tim, and I didn't spend together ...it was always us and the rugrats lol (Ty, Em, & Garrett)! From dribbling basketballs on your head, to the massive luge Jim made us during the blizzard, to playing army in red clay... Which ruined my clothes lol! We spent every day playing around the world in basketball, going to vacation bible school, and picking every plum off the trees in our neighborhood! If I could rewind time back, I would in a heartbeat! I go back to the time when it was the 4 best friends!!We thought AIM was the stuff (even if it was dial up lol)! I was the only girl in the neighborhood for awhile, but that never stopped me from watching my boys turn into gentlemen! Gavin I'm so proud of you! We fought like brothers and sisters that's for sure! You were my brother from another mother, and I was always your big sis! I love you brother to the moon and back times infinity, I hope I make you proud! I'm always going to share the word of God and I know that's what you would want me to do. I love you, it's not goodbye, I'll see you soon in Heaven! Thank you for the message the other night because I can only imagine! Love you Gavin, I'll see you soon! I Love you Wendy, Jim and Garrett!

You will be missed tremendously, but your memory will be kept alive forever. God's plan for you is much greater.

You were heading for greatness and most likely still are. The Lord must have had a tremendous need for you. You will be missed but never forgotten.
