It was a pleasure subbing for Gilbert the last year or so when he couldn't make some of his gigs. I came to know and love a kind and sincere gentleman. I could never sub for you in heaven, brother! Ed

Gilbert.......thank you for the great memories. All we can ever remember was that great smile of yours that brought joy to all who watched you played. It was a pleasure talking to you. We send our condolences to all who knew you and to your family. May you finally rest in peace brother. Love Nick and Andrea Reveles

Gilbert was a sweet, kind and gentle soul who always had a beautiful smile for everyone! Not to mention a joke or a "Ha!" too. John and I had some great memories with you and Eddie. I was so lucky to have been around during that time. I will miss you my friend! Thank you for being my friend and sharing some time with my John and me. My sincere condolences to The Pineda family. God Bless you all!

Gilbert was one of the best bass players I ever played with. He would always look over at me and say "turn it into Jazz" in the middle of a song. Always upbeat and happy, never negative. A true loss to the music community of EP. You will be missed, buddy. Rest in Peace.

Gilbert was not only a great musician, but also a great friend! The times we shared on stage, or just hanging out with good friends, are some of my most cherished memories. Gilbert was a friend that was always there for you if you needed a helping hand, and never asked for anything in return. His smile, laughter and awesome sense of humor, are just a few of the great things about him that will surely be missed. My condolences and deepest sympathies to Eddie, Toby and all of Gilbert's family. May God embrace this good man and welcome him home!

It was always a pleasure to visit the boys and watch them have a blast on stage. I have many fond memories of the Midland/Odessa days where we got to spend time together. Gilbert will be missed.
