Gavin N Stenger, 20, Altoona passed away Friday at his residence. He was born in Altoona, son of Melissa Stenger.

Surviving are his mother, and fiancé, Jon Schneiderbauer; his grandmother, Norma Stenger; an uncle, Michael Stenger; two great aunts: Carolyn Stenger and Joyce Otto; and many cousins.

He was preceded in death by his very special friend, Ceibert Parks; and his beloved pet, Kobie.

Gavin was a 2018 graduate from Altoona.

He enjoyed skateboarding, listening to music, taking photographs, writing in his journal and loved spending time with his dogs: Lucy, Maddie, and Biberz.

He never left friends and family until he received a hug and said "I love you!"

A private service will be held at the convenience of the family. Interment will be at Alto Reste Cemetery. Arrangements are by Leslie E. Axe Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations in memory of Gavin to the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society, 1837 E. Pleasant Valley Blvd., Altoona, PA 16602.
