LE CORNU, Gavin

To my darling son Gavin, you were a winner from the day you were born, you were a real trouper, you fought every obstacle that was put in your way, to lead you to the life that you lived in the fast lane. You have made us so proud to watch you grow up to be the most wonderful special son that a ‘Mar’ could ever have. It is things like your favourite sausage-butty nights. Bob and I will treasure with huge smiles forever. Taken from us far too soon. Sarah, you made Gavin the happiest man and made us so proud. We are heart broken and will love and miss you forever son.

Love you always, Mum and Bob XXX.

LE CORNU, Gavin

Uncle Gavin, To us you were someone special, what more is there to say, we only wish with all are hearts, that you were here today.

Lots of love always Bradley, Abbie and Milly-Moomins XXX.

LE CORNU, Gavin

Brother (Munchkin). We may not see your amazing smile or hear your infectious laugh again, but these will be the memories we hold deep in our hearts forever, our truly adored and loved brother, we have always been so very proud of you. We are lost for words that you have been tragically taken too soon, heaven has certainly gained a true character, who will certainly cause mischief and many smiles and laughs, till we next see you bruv.

All our love forever and always, Yvonne and Sonya XXXXX.

LE CORNU, Gavin Edward

Gav, You were such a very very special much-loved son, a one off, after you they broke the mould. It seems almost unbelievable that they could cram so much charisma into such a small package. A shining star who saw the best in everyone. You would light up people’s lives wherever you went and were loved by all whose lives you touched. You were an infectious character with a zest for life and you lived it in the fast lane. I was so proud of you on the day of your wedding to Sarah I realised what an exceptional young man you had grown into. Thank you and Sarah for my beautiful surprise birthday party, which leaves another fabulous family memory for us all. Gav, we will always be here for your princess and will look after her. Now you are reunited with your much-loved Grandma and will take care of each other. Enjoy the crazy golf and the corned beef sandwiches. A Dad couldn’t wish for a better son, but you were more than a son you were my best friend. Taken far too young with so much to look forward to. I am utterly devastated by the huge void that you have left in my life and in many other lives. Heaven must have needed a special person to brighten it up.

Your heartbroken Dad. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
