Eamon Gavin Obituary

Was great to work with Brother Gavin when I was employed at Delasalle.

My sincerest sympathy for the family and friends of Brother Eamon. As a DLS cheerleader, and for many years after, he was an inspiration to me. Always encouraging. Always kind. He will be so missed. I am blessed to have known him while he was here.

Brother Stephen made a great difference in my life. Because he came and spoke to our 8th grade class about coming to Roncalli, the starting up Christian Brothers high school, I went there, instead of to Marmion. The choice affected the whole rest of my life, where I went to college (Lewis, another Brother's school), my degree (Lewis was a good business school), who I married (I met my wife at Lewis), and even my moving to Muskegon (where we lived, also influenced by who I married, I became acquinted with a Muskegon company that I joined). I am a deacon and all those religion classes helped in my studies during that process. I never got to tell Brother Stephen that in life so he can hear that in heaven. Brother Stephen, you made a great difference in my life!

I will never forget Brother Eamon's attention to details...he always made you feel important. He was one of the nicest people I have ever met and I feel truelly blessed to have known him and to call him my
friend.

I AM SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF BROTHER EAMOM GAVIN, HE NOW RESTS IN A SAFE AND LOVELY PLACE IN HEAVEN. HE ALWAYS HAD A KIND WORD FOR ME WHEN I WAS WORKING THE GAMES AT DELASALLE. I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN ONE MORE TIME. BUT I HAVE BEEN ILL MYSELF. BUT THE FOND MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON IN ALL OF OUR LIVES. GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER GAVIN

Prayers and fond memories of Brother Eamon while I was employed at DLS for many years. Always a smile and kind words for everyone that either worked and/or studied at DLS. You will be missed by many, and know that you are now with our Lord.

The Christian Brother's Star the
Signum Fidei (Sign of Faith) is the "Star of the Magi" or Meteor which the Three Wisemen followed with great faith and zeal to the birth place of
Our Lord Jesus Christ. Brother Eamon was a man of
tremendous faith and zeal.
He helped many in the classroom, on the athletic field and in the community.
He did it with a smile.
A toast is in order this March 17th.
We will miss you METEOR.
Enjoy your reward in Heaven.
Irish eyes are smiling.
God Bless.

"Brother Stephen," as he was known to us at the time, was our first principal at Roncalli High School in Aurora, IL. He will be fondly remembered for his Irish humor, his love for his students, and his participation at every one of our class reunions. He always spoke highly of our class, although we could never quite figure out why. Rest in Eternal Peace, Bro. Eamon. Thank you for your dedication!

De La Salle Institute staff and students will greatly miss Br.Eamon. Always had a smile and kind word for all.We will miss him dearly.

With much sympathy to the Fry family. Uncle Eamon you will be missed! Every time I saw you, you were full of smiles that radiated the room. You will be forever remembered. You had a special gift that you shared with others. May you forever rest in peace and some day we will meet again! Thank you for all your encouragement when we had very rough times! Love and Sympathy, Tricia, Matthew, Brooke and Brianne

In fond memories of a great athletic moderator, who did a wonderful job at supporting Cheerleaders at De La Salle: a great man who never forgot someone's name and the little details about them Brother Eamon had a true gift of making an individual feel special. I appreciate and will always remember his encouraging ways.

BROTHER EAMON! I can not even express the impression and impact this man had on my life. I was one of those cheerleaders that he assisted with, he took us everywhere from cheerleading camp to David's resturant for "hot coco & ice cream" after basketball games. What a wonderful man, I was blessed to of had the pleasure of him in my life. Rest in peace Brother Eamon, you are home now.

A great teacher and good friend will be missed by myself as well as the the De La Salle community. Brother Eamon taught me in my Junior and Senior years. Brother Eamon will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

My fondest memories are Brother's beautiful prayers before and after Catholic League Dinners. His warmth and kindest will be missed.

My wife and I are out of town til the end of the month and I am very sorry that we cannot make it to the funeral.
