This is just heartbreaking. He was not only one of the most talented performers of this or any generation, his volunteer and charity work was huge! He was always giving back. Rest in peace sir.

RIP to an absolute charismatic legend of this industry. This really does hurt. Take a bow, Gavin

[@DavidAsset78]

What a shame! He was so young and so talented. Too many songs left unsung!

[@christopherbush9027]

He never lost that wide eyed love for the musical theater, even years after he found true success. As genuine, gracious and nice as he was talented. It is truly a sad day for the theater world. RIP Gavin…

My heart is broken and I never knew him personally, just his unfathomable talent and performances. Thank you Gavin. I am so sad we don't get to enjoy more and more of your gift.

[@wwl7461]

Thank you. I don’t think I have been this shocked in quite a while. Musical theater and Broadway will miss him.
