Our son Gavin Short is an Eagle Scout whose life was taken far too soon. He passed on April 29, 2022 in a tragic auto accident, along with two of his best friends, Drake and Nic. To continue his legacy of kindness and volunteerism, we invite you to join us in a Day of Cheerful Service in Honor of Gavin. A commitment to cheerful service is one of the central principles of the Order of the Arrow, which is a Scouting honor society. Gavin joined the OA brotherhood in 2016.

There are two opportunities for you to help on this Day of Cheerful Service: packing meals at Feed My Starving Children and/or participating in a park cleanup at the Wildwood Park District.

Though our grief never truly ends, we are forever grateful that our community continues to keep Gavin's spirit alive with us. We look forward to giving back - and doing so in Gavin's name. Thank you!
