Condolences to his loving wife and family. RIP. Terry Reilly
Gabriel was one of the nicest people on this planet. He was so good to everyone. Feel very fortunate to have been an ex-pupil from Shraheen school 1978 to 1980. He taught us we could do and be anyone we wanted if we were prepared to put the work in. He always went over and beyond the call of duty. He helped me after I left the school.
He was a true inspiration to anyone privileged enough to have met or spent time in his company.
Saw beautiful mass online. All of you did him proud. He has left a wonderful legacy. His love will always remain and will never be forgotten by anyone who knew him.
May God comfort you all at this difficult time and may his gentle soul rest in peace
A great teammate, classmate and all round great guy.
Our sincere sympathy to all the family.
May he Rest in PEACE.

We have very fond memories of Gabriel from Shraheen NS and always enjoyed his visits to our house.

Like his namesake, he brought good news and the encouraging word wherever he went. Many times I heard him say “Jesus is my best friend” - may he rest in the eternal peace that friendship secured.
Sympathies to all his family. I will offer Mass for him during the week.

May Gabriel Rest In Peace
I have very fond memories of my two week work placement in Shraheen N.S ten years ago. I remember Gabriel picking me up in the morning and dropping me home again in the evening after school and nothing was to much trouble. I will always remember how kind and gentle he was towards the children. They loved his history stories, Irish lessons and most of all would get extremely excited when he mentioned going outside to play football! I’ll always remember him playing in goals and the fun he had with the children! Once I finished school, he always had an interest in how college was going and in more recent years how my teaching job was going. He was a gentleman and will be missed by all who was fortunate enough to know him.
Sincerest condolences to his Wife Finola, daughters & son, Máire, Gearóid, Finola Óg and Thérèse, Brothers, Sisters and extended Lavin family.
May Gabriel Ó Láimhín Rest In Peace.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam a dílis.

Thanks Gabriel for everything. Now you can surely rest with the Lord. I have no doubt that your mother was there to meet you when you passed from this world. You were so good to her and so close. Be happy now. May your kind, gentle and generous soul rest with the Angels above.
Remembering his family and all his extended family at this sad time. Unfortunately I can't attend his funeral. I'm in isolation at this time.
Every blessing c
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis
