On Sunday, Gavin’s family, friends and fans gathered in Beit Meri’s St Sassine Church to remember all the fond memories and put him to rest in the country he loved so much.

The church was full, with all the voices you’re familiar with from Lebanese radio stations, the UK ambassador in Lebanon and all of Gavin’s friends present for the ceremony performed in English. Instead of flowers, participants donated money to Gavin’s favorite non-profit organization: Children’s Cancer Center of Lebanon. You can also donate to CCCL in honor of Gavin by going to this link.

The devastation was clear on everyone’s faces, but it was Fred, Gavin’s dog, who seemed the most upset, crying and sighing as she looked on from the car parked next to the church. Fred will be going back with Gavin’s sister to the UK.

10 Radio Stations to Broadcast Tribute Show Simultaneously

Radio One, Virgin Radio Lebanon, Power FM, Light FM, Nostalgie, Mix FM, NRJ, Fame FM, Ciel FM and Sawt el Ghad will all broadcast Gavin’s Tribute show on Friday December 7 at 9AM and will be rebroadcast at 5PM the same day.

This is the first time we see so many radio stations come together, put aside their rivalries and create a tribute show fit for Lebanon’s favorite radio superstar for the past 20 years.

Olga Habre and Dan Harper are preparing the special pre-recorded show, and make sure you get in touch with them if you have a fond memory, or recording, you have with Gavin over the past two decades.

The show will also be streamed online and then uploaded for all of you abroad who can’t tune in to the radio this Friday morning.

Justice Will Be Served

Even though the suspects have been arrested, there’s still a long way to go till we see justice done for this horrible crime. We hope the judiciary issues the verdict soon, and that the suspects get nothing less than a life sentence for their crime. We also hope that all leakers already identified be penalized, and the remaining leakers identified and dealt with too.
