"By sitting still we’re not going to find ourselves. The only way we’re going to find who we are in this strange and wonderful world... is to walk on through and maybe you’ll find something that you respond to and helps makes you who you are."

I barely knew Gavin personally, but the few times I got to meet him were some of the most memorable of my life. His charm, charisma, and energy knows no bounds, and he left the world a better place than he entered it 💔
