Gavin Battensby was born on August 14th 1980 and died tragically on December 14th 2007 aged 27 years.
He lived all his life in Seacroft Leeds, and was a jack of all trades!
He comes from a large family inclusive: Nanna, Grandad, Mum, Dad, his own children, Brothers, Sister, nieces and nephews, aunties, uncles and cousins! Gav became family to alot of his friends - all of whom feel honoured to have known him!

Gavs was a tragic passing in a house fire trying to save his girlfriend and her 15 month old daughter. he suffered 95% burns and lost his fight for life in hospital 2 days later!

What you did gav was an amazing thing and nobody will ever forget it. You gave your own life to try save someone elses and for that you will always be a hero to many many people. all those who know you, love and respect you as much as ever and are proud to call you their friend.

MISS ME LET BUT ME GO!

When i come to the end of my road,
and the sun has set for me
I want no rights in a gloom-filled room
why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little but not too long
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared,
miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take.
and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the masters plan
a step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heart
go to the friends we know
Bear your sorrow in good deeds
miss me but let me go!

He is like the wind
you can't see him...
but you will always feel him!
