I am truly blessed to have known Gabriel while he spent a short time at Glenbrook School in Pulaski. He loved life and cared for so many. I will remember him for his laughter and smiles as he would bounce through our hallways. My sympathies and prayers are with Gabriel, his family, and everyone who has made an impact in his life.

Please know that those of us at Glenbrook school who had the chance to share time with Gabriel are so saddened by this news. I personally, had a short time to rub elbows with Gabe, but will remember his upbeat sense of humor, how his peers enjoyed his company, and the twinkle in his eyes. There is no doubt that Gabe has found his way to heaven, and no doubt that he'll be missed.

It was an honor to be his teacher at Marion Elementary School. He had the highest scores in social studies among the entire fourth grade. I will miss his smile and his enthusiasm for learning.
