He will be deeply missed by his parents, Scott and Susan Schouwenaar of Dexter; his brother, Griffin Schouwenaar of Dexter; his maternal grandmother, Vivian Czarnota of Allen Park; and many aunts, uncles, cousins; extended family, Tina Dale; his beloved dog, Lilo; and many friends who showed their love and support through their visits, which meant so much to Gavin and his family

Gavin is preceded in death by his grandparents, Henry Czarnota, and Larry and Sandra Schouwenaar.

A private service will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Humane Society of Huron Valley.
