https://youtu.be/vRmK-gOQMX0 With a heavy heart, we share the unexpected and heartbreaking news of the most unfortunate passing, of our precious Gavin Shane Van Sant (my great nephew).  Our hearts are broken at the loss of such a bright, talented, and amazing young man, that we loved so dearly.  

Please consider helping his precious mom Alicia, raise the funds to provide, a proper burial and resting place for her only child.  

Gavin was my niece Alicia’s, pride and joy, she dedicated her entire life, to raising him to be the exceptional young man he grew to become.  She treasured every moment of their relationship and earnestly dedicated herself to the responsibility of being an amazing mother for him.  Our hearts are crushed for her loss.  

The tragic burden of his loss, is more pain than any mother, should ever have to endure.  The devastating financial impact is overwhelming, our goal is to help ease this burden.  We hope and pray, that you will find charity within your hearts, to help this struggling single mom, lay her precious son to rest.

 Gavin was a wonderful, kind hearted son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and student.  Upon graduating high school, with an exceptional 4.0 GPA, he was dreaming of opportunities to further himself as an individual.  He was most recently pursuing an opportunity to train as an electrical engineer.   His natural ability, to easily calculate math quickly in his head, was a clear indicator to his mentor, that he would excel well in this field.  

He was always thoughtful, loving, supportive, and willing to help anyone in need.  His mom could not have asked for a more polite, obedient, kind, and caring son, than that of her child and best friend Gavin.  

It is so unbearably tragic when a young life is lost, it was entirely to short of a time, for us to have him in our lives, I honestly believe, God made Gavin an exceptionally wonderful person, that in turn blessed his mother, grandmother, family, and friends in the most memorable way possible.  

Thank you and God bless,

Melissa
