Why We Exist
This is for gavin
March 28, 2003 - November 27, 2025
Gavin Wilson was 22 years old when he lost his life. Support Our Sons is dedicated to honoring him and all men who are navigating difficult times. You are not alone!
He was an incredible human being who brought so much joy to this world through his kind heart, creative spirit, and generous nature. Gavin was a photographer, music lover, and the kind of person who’s laugh could light up a room. Gavin’s legacy lives on in those who love and miss him.
Support Our Sons is here to serve our community and carry on his mission; to spread kindness.
We are here to start a movement and we need your help.
What began as a way to honor the grief of one mother, has evolved into something more.
Support Our Sons is here to give hope back to men in our community but we can’t do it without you. Through education, connection, advocacy, and compassionate outreach, we work to create a world where no man feels alone, unseen, or afraid to ask for help.
Join us as we spread joy, cultivate connections, and be a part of a movement that save lives.
