Ray Knupp, Gavin’s father, posted an image of Mailloux on his Facebook on Monday with the words “F— you Tyler,” pasted under his face. In the header Ray Knupp wrote, “Tyler Mallioux is his name.”

In the months following the incident, the Knupp family has led a movement to bring charges to those involved in his death.

The family created the Gavin Knupp Foundation, a nonprofit made in his honor that donates to the Ocean City Surf Club and awards scholarships for programs such as Camp Woodward, a skateboarding camp.

Gavin was an avid skater and surfer who also enjoyed fishing and hunting on the Eastern Shore. The foundation’s mission is to create opportunities for youths to participate in everything Gavin loved.

The Do it for Gavin - Justice for Gavin Facebook group has 22,000 members who have posted in remembrance of Gavin and shared hopes that those responsible for his death are held accountable.

“We are immensely grateful to Kris Heiser and her team for the diligence and hard work that led to the filing of these criminal charges against the defendant Tyler Mailloux,” said Knupp family Attorney Neil Dubovsky in a statement Monday. “We also again want to express our appreciation to our family, friends and the entire community for their love and support. We will forever be grateful for the strength you have given us to keep fighting and we have only just begun.”
