Gavin Shields, our Bear who is gone far too soon

Hi all. Some know me, some don't - I'm Gavin's little sister, Ember.

Gavin gave so much of himself to his people, to his job, and especially to his family. I'd argue too much but he wouldn't have it any other way.

When he moved in with my Dad, it was specifically to get him out of an apartment that was rotting from the inside out. To do that, they had to get into a place they could barely afford.

Now he's gone.

There's no extra money to help my Dad pay this months rent/bills, let alone the next. Or do what we should for the funeral.

We need help.

I would be greatful if his community stepped into his shoes to help where they are so hugely needed.

Remember to give a little more in life, in his memory- since he can't any longer.
