We, as the family of Gavin Roodt, would like to extend our deepest and most sincere thanks to everyone who stood with us during this difficult time.
Firstly, we give thanks to Athlone Methodist Church for hosting such a dignified and meaningful service. Our heartfelt appreciation to Rev Leon Klein, whose message on gentleness was so beautifully spoken and perfectly captured who Gavin was. It brought great comfort to us all.
To our family and friends, your prayers, messages, visits, and quiet acts of kindness carried us more than words can express. We truly felt your love every step of the way.
A special word of gratitude to the Lansdowne Eagles Baseball and Lansdowne Eagles Baseball & Softball Club
Thank you for embracing Gavin so wholeheartedly, as a player, a supporter, and a life member. The way you honoured him reflects the deep respect and love you had for him. Baseball was a part of who he was, and you were a part of his extended family.
We also wish to thank the Lansdowne Old Boys and the wider community for your compassion and support.
Gavin was a gentleman, quiet, kind, and deeply loved. While his passing leaves a space that cannot be filled, we are comforted by the many lives he touched and the memories he leaves behind.
Thank you for walking this journey with us.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The Roodt Family
