Gaven began his working career in 1972 with the Halifax Dockyards and returned to Liverpool in 1978 to work in the family business, Whynot Services Limited where he retired early due to ill health. He was active throughout the community serving on various committees such as Crime Prevention and Friends of Hank Snow Society and also received a Provincial Volunteer of the Year Award.

He was a long-time member of the Men’s Bowling League and Mixed Bowling League. He also enjoyed riding his motorcycle and had travelled throughout Canada and the US. He was an avid country music fan having been to Nashville many, many times.
He is survived by his wife, Carla (MacIsaac); his daughter Michelle (Peter) Colp of Port Mouton, his son Stephen (Sheila) of Brooklyn; his grandchildren Haley (Brandon) Publicover, Jared Colp, Hayden Whynot and Deihl Whynot. His brother Norwood of Halifax; his niece Kimberlea Whynot and nephew Brad Whynot, both of Halifax. The mother of his children Louise Crowell of Brooklyn. His mother-in-law Tresa MacIsaac of Liverpool, his sisters-in-law Charlene of Liverpool, Cindy (Rick) Dorey of Hunt’s Point and Denise (Harold) Whynot and their children Presley and Bret of Liverpool. He will be missed by his companion “Muffy”.
Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool.

    Many years ago I travelled with Gaven, from Kentville to Bridgewater, when we were both attending Kings County Vocational School. The drive always proved to filled with laughter and jokes, both which he usually instigated. He was a kind, giving person. To you, his family and close friends, I am sorry that Gaven has left this world far to soon. May those who were touched by Gaven’s community spirit continue to honor him by giving back also.

    We knew Gaven for many years and he was a well respected businessman. He always had a kind word for everyone. He was always busy and on the go, but still had time to say “hi” or sometimes he could talk for as long as you were there. To his family, take the time to grieve and then always remember the happy times.
