On February 26 Josh and Hayat Price took their son Gavin and two babe brothers on a family birthday ski trip to Idaho.

Two hours from the Idaho border, they were caught in a snow storm and lost control of there Isuzu Jeep, which rolled multiple times.

Unfortunately Gavin did not survive the accident and lost his life two days into his twelfth birthday.
Gavin was a star soccer player and was a smart kid ahead of his time.

Friends of the family have set up a memorial fund to help pay for burial expenses. You can donate at any Washington Mutual. The memorial is under Gavin Price. You can call 360-830-4118 for more info.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Tyler thought highly of Gavin. They had a great time playing with the potatoe guns. He said that Gavin could always put a smile on your face no matter what kind of day you were having.

Gavin: full of personality and joy. He had the ability to put a smile on everyone's face in my 1st and 2nd grade classroom and throughout his years at Pearson. May your memories fill your mind, warm your heart and lead you through. I wish you peace.

Jack the Anonymous says ... on Tuesday, Mar 3 at 7:18 PM

He won't be able to read this, but it's good to write down thoughts on him. Words can't express sorrow but... He was nice to anyone out there that he met, so even if there isn't anyone to pray to, then pray for Gavin to rest peacefully.

Casey Price says ... on Tuesday, Mar 3 at 4:07 PM

Oh my god. I wish you were here to stay. But unfortunately, you can't be here to give me girlfriend advice anymore. I miss you soooo much From your "cousin" Casey Price

Gavin will forever be in our hearts. He was such an intensely bright kid who was exceptionally smart and talented. We will miss the slumber parties and soccer games. You were an angel on earth and now an angel in heaven. God Bless the Price family.

forjudi2004 says ... on Tuesday, Mar 3 at 8:13 AM

My prayers are with the family. I'm sure no words could take the pain and grief away. When the time is right reach out to others who have lost a child, they can guide you through the grief. Reach to God and he will comfort you.

Rachel Brown says ... on Tuesday, Mar 3 at 7:44 AM

Gavin was the first baby born into our group of high school friends. He was the life of the party even at age 2! He will be greatly missed. My love and prayers go out to you, Josh, Hayat, Cari, and the whole Price family. I love you all.
