It is a very sad news for Gavin Smith friends, for his poker fans and for the rest of poker community. His children remained without father and here did not say anything about their natural or step-mother. That's not good at all. I hope he has some brother or sister to be a parent for these children.

Sad sad news. It’s always sad when someone you know, even remotely, passes away and even more so at such a relatively young age. This just goes to show that we must never take life for granted and seek to enjoy every single second that God allows us in this life. I’m sure Gavin would want us t remember the good aspects of his life that he brought to us so rejoice the Life he had rather than feel sad for our own loss.

This kind of life always takes a big roll on the body - stress and everything. RIP
