Condolence From: Molly Roberts
Condolence: Crisha, we are praying for healing of you and your childrens hearts. We just learned of this. Gavin was always such a standout in the soccer world. Our daughter, Rachel, was coached by him and loved him dearly. We will remember him as a first class young man with a positive outlook. He encouraged and lifted up all the girls we watched him teach. God bless you in this very difficult time. We will hold you in prayer in the months ahead. Molly and Robbie Roberts

Condolence: Gavin was my soccer coach during my senior year of high school. I will never forget his passion, his expertise, and the high standards he set for his players. It was an honor to play for him. He was a great man, one I will always remember. My most sincere condolences.

Condolence: I crossed paths so many times with Gavin. I hired him to teach soccer coaching and theory at the University of Minnesota. Our students at the U, had a tremendous teacher in the game. The world has lost an amazing ambassador for the game of soccer. Our daughter had some of the best tactical training with him in her early years and now is playing college soccer. Praying for the Pugh family. Our hearts are broken.
