Gavin “Ruby” Florez

April 14, 2003  – November 13,  2018

Age 15

Gavin “Ruby” Florez was a sophomore at Bellevue West High School.  He loved his family and friends deeply and his loyalty was unparalleled.  He was a fierce advocate for the equality of all people.

Gavin had an incredible intellect and creative side that manifested itself time and time again in the form of incredible Lego builds, Minecraft creations, and robotics.  He loved his family and friends and his cat, The Night King, who he called “Catbaby.”

Gavin loved T-shirts that reflected his interests (Star Wars, Lego, Steven Universe, Minecraft, Star Vs. The Forces of Evil, Gravity Falls, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, etc.). If you attend the memorial service, please feel free to wear a T-shirt in his honor.

We miss him so much and your love and support are helping us heal.

Survived by father Mark Florez (Ronni Graham); mother Amy Hart (Tim Knowles); sister Ava Florez; grandparents Juan & Sugar Florez, and Dennis & Lynda Hart.

    I am so sorry for the loss of your child. I can not even begin to imagine the pain that you are feeling. My son has known Gavin since fourth grade and was in circle of friends with him. Please know that you and your family are in our prayers during this very difficult time.
