Alex Gavin Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 14, 2017.

Alex Jack Gavin, 22, went home to be with God, Wednesday, December 13, 2017.



A native of Wake County, Alex was born March 10, 1995 to Mark and Susan Sabatino Gavin. Alex had a love for video games, comic books, movies, and music. He shared his family’s love of reading, especially the works of Richard Kadrey. Alex was a certified carpenter and also enjoyed working in the video game industry. Though a sad and difficult situation, Alex will be giving the gift of life to others, as he was an organ donor.

Mr. Felder

I was informed of the passing of Alex this morning. I am deeply saddened to hear of such a beautiful soul to leave the earth. However, I am joyful that such a precious flower now decorates God's garden in Heaven. Alex was a remarkable and kind spirit at The Early College where I am Director of Counseling & Student Services. May the peace that God offers rest and comfort your soul during this period of grief and the days ahead.
