Dear Treasa, Padraig, Padraig, Joehleen, Angus & Emer my deepest condolences to all of you, John was an incredibly kind, caring, generous, intelligent & funny person who spoke so often and with so much love for his family.

Losing him is so tragic, words can't do him justice.

I met John for the 1st time at my front door in a tuxedo and that was the start of one of the most important friendships in my life.

We had so many crazy and wonderful adventures over the years, from school through college, travelling, and when we lived on different sides of the world. He has even been my personal hero for some big events throughout my life.

I will miss you everyday John, thank you for all the wonderful memories I carry with me, every time I think of you I'll smile (not just yet though).

I am heartbroken for your mother, father, brothers & sisters.

I am heartbroken for your extended family.

I am heartbroken for your friends.

I am heartbroken, my old friend.

Love always Jan.

Our deepest sympathies to Pádraig, Treasa and the cousins.

Growing up, I looked up to John as my cool cousin in San Francisco, to whom I was closest in age in your family. I was so happy to be able to spend time with John around Emer’s wedding in 2015. He had me stay with him, took me to his newly opened cafe and to his warehouse shop and we hung out with a bunch of his close friends. He was so kind, fun, full of energy and ambition and yet was also a deep thinker. I was so sad to hear of his untimely passing and my heart goes out to you.

Our love to you all,
— Brian, Vivian and Nora Fox

My deepest condolences are with the Gavin family. Theresa and Padraig, John's brothers and sisters, and the extended family throughout America, Ireland and beyond. I'm so sorry for our loss.

As we come together to grieve the loss of John, I'm uplifted by the love that so many have for John. He loved his family fiercely, which was evident through his frequent visits to the house and regular texts and calls. I've always admired the love and closeness shared in the Gavin family, with the kids and grandkids stopping in regularly for a quick cup of tea or a long meal and hours of conversation.

John was a special person whose kindness and humor touched so many lives. His smile had the ability to light up a room and his intelligence kept him hungry for a good debate. He was loyal to those he loved and kind and fair to all others he crossed.

His presence will be dearly missed, and he will be remembered always with love. As we welcome his new niece into the world in December, he will be present in her life through the love and memories from his family.

— Adam
I had the great pleasure of working side-by-side with John .

He was so talented easy to get along with. and he was definitely one of the most intelligent young men I ever worked with.

John was quick thinking.
Super good mathematician. Always had a well of knowledge on the product's.

John Will be greatly missed by so many people😂

My apologies I misunderstood I thought that John Secretary was his wife that’s my mistake on the previous message.

John will be missed by so many people💔
— Hollis Wilson
I only knew John as a customer at his shop but when I first met him, I was graced with his friendliness, charm and desire to ensure that I had the best customer experience.
I continued to shop at his store because of him and the convos we’d share and the friendliness that he always gave to me.
Tonight when I walked into the shop, I asked about the cats that he loved and adored and in doing so, learned about his passing. I was gutted to hear the news and to hear it from his mother and wife, and seeing the loss of joy they found in John and the sadness they were going through, was even harder to take in.
I only knew him from those short, amazing interactions yet, his spirit and overall good vibes were impressed on me tremendously, so I can only imagine what loss they’re feeling at this time.
John, I just want to say, you were the reason I came to your shop and I am so blessed to have had the those small interactions to connect with a truly good man!
I will continue to support your business and will continue to send people to the shop as it’s hands down, one of the best in the Bay.
To his family, I am so sorry for your loss. As I said to his mother tonight, he was a good man and whatever she and his family did made him that good man! He was an amazing human and he will be missed, not only by those who knew him well, but those of us who were blessed to just briefly cross paths with him!
Sending love and light to all of those who loved John. Especially his wife and family. ❤️

— Deirdre & Aiden Croke
I didn't know John, but I know Treasa and Patrick. But I can tell from them, that they have instilled John with all the best characteristics and traits they have in their hearts. This includes honesty, selflessness, kindness and love for all of Gods creatures. I only wish I knew you better, as you could have been a best friend. It is a sincere loss to all of us, and a reminder not to take what god gives us for granted. That is people like you and them. My heart grieves for them and the great loss to our society. Our loss, but a gain to the Lord, as now you will be in his presence.

We are both shocked and saddened to hear the devastating news about John,
Our sincere condolences to John's Family.
I was fortunate to have worked with John for several years in his different businesses.
John was by far one of the most intelligent, hardworking men I met in my lifetime,
Although I was much older than John taught me so much,

John was a gifted honest man who thought nothing about ordering lunch for everyone EVERY day.

John had a couple of rules for everyone. ''Please don't lie to me or my customers'' if you don't know ask me and ''Please don't steal if you ask me I will give it to you if you need it.''

John, you will be so missed by many.
John, you were such a kind man. I know that God has a special place ready for you!!!
