Not sure what to say?

Prayers and love to the family. We loved getting to enjoy fun memories with uncle Gibby, sharing backyard bbq, enjoying games together , just hanging out all while he lived here in Farmington nm. Will be very missed.
Love The Anayas ( Kenny's neice and nephew that live next door)

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We gonna miss you. Gibby

In my earlier years, I enjoyed Gilbert (Gibby) while playing basketball and cards over those years. It sadden my heart to hear of his passing but knowing he's with the Lord brings me peace as I pray it will also bring to all his love ones!
