Thank you so much for this. I was affected very similarly & have been doing the same thing: poring over every scrap of interview/podcast available, marveling at what a wonderful human he was, wishing I could have known him, wondering why such bright lights are taken so unfairly. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in those feelings as someone who didn’t know him personally. 🩵
Thank you for this. I loved Gavin so deeply for 15 years. I was so lucky to know him just a little bit, but even knowing him just a little bit he was still my most favorite person. I miss him so much and I'll love him forever. What a beautiful tribute to him. May he never be forgotten.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute. I've been behaving as you have, pouring over interviews, photos, videos and songs. I'm trying to find why this has impacted me so deeply, and like you don't want to let him go. Maybe because that light shouldn't be extinguished? I saw Gavin perform and met him once at the Tony awards. So many people knew him deeply, felt his love, generosity and light. My heart hurts for them. I still can't make sense of the loss and why it hits me this way. Or the suddenness of his demise. But after reading all of these pieces and especially yours, I know how I will keep that door open. You're always welcome here Gavin.
This was beautiful and touching. 🥰🥲
A raw eloquence that will stick with me. Thank you for your bruising but elevating candor. A healing tribute.
thank you

Ray Allen, very happy to read that. I figured there must be other people who were affected like this.
Beautifully written and deeply moving piece. Thank you, Dan.
