Gavynn Cole Patterson, 18, of Rittman passed away in a tragic accident while going to help a friend in need. He was born September 17, 2006, in Akron to Brandon and Felicia Patterson. Gavynn was a miracle from the beginning, he beat the odds over and over. Very seldom did you ever see Gavynn without a smile on his face.
He was a graduate of Cloverleaf High School and the Medina County Career Center class of 2025.
Gavynn enjoyed hanging out with his siblings, taking his sister shopping, hunting, motorcycles, flying, working on cars and hanging out with his friends. He was good at working on things and was always helping every and anyone. Gavynn got on a bull twice and hurt himself and he still laughed about it. He always looked at the glass as being half full and that there was always something to be greatfull for. He will be missed by all who knew him. He didn't know a stranger and would always take time to help anyone no matter the situation. He was an old sole.
He was preceded in death by his great grandpa and grandpa Shields, aunt, Clarissa Vaughn, grandpa, Cecil Vaughn, grandpa, William C. Patterson Sr. and several other family and friends.

I had the honor of meeting Gavynn when he was just brought into this world at Akron Children's hospital, I got to see him go from diapers to big boy pants, I never heard him once say a mean thing, as life moved on, I would get Facebook comments from him , always being a true gentleman.
He taught my son how to ride a motorcycle.
The news of his accident has saddened a lot of people, and devastated those that loved him dearly.
I am honored to have had him in my life.
Rest in peace Gavvy, Holly Wood is gonna miss you !
