Gage Gavin Obituary

Gage Michael Gavin from Las Cruces, passed away in his sleep on Monday, June 22. Gage was born on March 26, 1997 and recently celebrated his 18th birthday and graduated from Onate High School last month and his proudest moment was getting to take a selfie with his sister and Onate principal, Mr. Day. While at Onate, Gage was very active with special organizations that helped individuals with learning disabilities. He had a love for people and was kind and thoughtful to everyone he ever met. Gage admired and had a special place in his heart for Law Enforcement and loved to hear their police sirens. He spent almost every evening walking his dogs at the community Dog Park where again he met and talked to everyone. He had a very unique car key collection (over 1,000),that included every possible key from a Honda to a Bentley.

Gage is survived by his parents (Patrick M. Gavin Jr and Tamara A. Gavin), his siblings (sister Courtney A Gavin and brother Patrick M. Gavin III), his Nana (Valecia A. Gavin), his aunt (Michelle A. Gavin), his uncles (William G. Gavin, Mark E. Adams, and Mike S. Adams), and his cousins (Mat Adams and Winter Adams). Gage is preceded in death by both grandfathers (Patrick M. Gavin Sr. and Frank E. Adams Jr) and grandmother (Patricia A. Adams).

His plan for the future was to continue his education and work along side his dad running a golf course or to continue his hobby with keys by becoming a locksmith.

On Monday, June 29th at the La Paz/Graham's Mortuary at 555 W. Amador Ave.,a public visitation will be held from 6:00-7:00 pm for all of his friends. On Tuesday, June 30th at the La Paz/Graham's Mortuary there will be a service open to the public from 10:00-11:00 am, followed by the burial at Masonic Cemetery at 760 E Compress Rd.

Pallbearers will be Patrick Gavin III, William Gavin, Shane Clark, Andrew Moreno, Jonathan Farran, Joshua Salmon, Henry Stetina, and Chris Behrens.

Gage was loved by so many. If you are unable to attend either day, please feel free to text a private message or a special memory to Gage on his phone at (575) 932-8177, put your name so we can treasure the memory and always look back on it.
A special scholarship endowment will be established under his name at New Mexico State University, to assist students with learning disabilities and students inside the PGA Golf Management program. Make checks payable to NMSU Foundation, and can be mailed to 2500 Cherokee Circle, Las Cruces, NM 88011.

Gager! Oh how we have had so many amazing FUN and memorable times! All of those bouncy ballons and sooo many birthdays between the 3 Gavins, the 4 Renios, the 2 Luschei's and the 5 Feltmans. You always brightened our day whether we were splashing around with the hose at your house, playing on the swingset at Nana's house with Billy, or just hanging out. You would always tell me "Hi Mrs. Looshay" every time you saw me at Onate, and your grin would brighten my day. You would play cops and robbers with Eric and to be honest, I think you were better! Gager, It will be hard to imagine not seeing your beautiful smile, but we know that the Angels rejoiced loudly and welcomed you to heaven. We are always with you in spirit just as you will always be with your Mom, Dad, Courtney and Patrick Jr. and the rest of the extended family. We are so sorry we can't be there for your service, but everytime we look in the sky, we know you're smiling back at us. We love you sooooooooo much Gage. With heavy hearts, The Luschei's ~♡~

Gageman! I love you so much. Words can't even explain how much I miss you. You're never going to be alone, I promise you that. You've got so many people who love you and they'd do anything for you. You're my best friend, buddy. I'm so glad I got to experience your life with you, every step of the way. Senior checkout was my favorite- seeing you run with a huge smile on your face through the halls to each teacher. You were absolutely beaming. And I will cherish your yearbook forever- having all those signatures in there meant everything to you. And I'm going to finish pharmacy school for you, buddy. I love you so much!

My deepest sympathy to the family. Gage was a delightful young man to work with at school. His excitement leading up to his graduation was highly infectious, he was so proud to be a senior and an OHS Grad. He was a shining star when he entered a room, and always had something new to share, be it a new key fob or a polo shirt that his dad shared with him. He will be greatly missed, but will live within the hearts of those who knew him. My prayers are for peace and comfort for his loved ones. Patti Cannon

I never got to be your classroom teacher Gage, but I still considered you "one of my kids". Watching you grow-up with Courtney and Patrick at Desert Hills was such a pleasure. The day you sent me a Facebook Friend Request put a big smile on my face. You will be missed by all who knew you, but your fantastic smile and friendly spirit will forever live on in our hearts. My love and prayers are with you and your family.
