Gabe always had the biggest and sweetest smile. Every time I saw him he immediately gave me a big hug and flashed his million dollar smile. Sweet, gentle, and kind. Cat whisperer. Video game master. Multiple black belts from Master Kim. Smart and hardworking. I could go on and on. I would give anything for just one more hug. I love you, Gabe.

Gabe was a gentle soul from the time he was a small child. As his great-aunt, I remember taking him and my two oldest grandchildren on outings when they were children. Gabe was always protective of his younger cousin and willing to play games with him. The three were close in age and loved playing together.
I will always remember his beautiful bright eyes and sweet smile as we talked at family gatherings as recently as last month. He was always interested in what everyone was doing. Gabe will be forever in my thoughts and prayers.

Never had the pleasure of meeting the young man, but it's clear just what a wonderful person he must of been. Sending love and condolences to my cousins Amy and Mike, their families, and Aunt Cindy. Praying for you all.

Gabe will be greatly missed. I always looked forward to talking to him at family gatherings. He was always ready to give me a hug and ask what I had been doing. He had a beautiful smile.

I haven't spoken to Gabe in many years, but I remember our conversations back in middle school vividly. We had the same science class in 7th grade, and we would frequently discuss upcoming video game releases and such. I was not particularly close with Gabe, but I am still saddened about his sudden passing. No one deserves to be taken from this earth so young. I offer my deepest condolences to Gabe's friends and family. I'm so sorry you lost someone so dear to you.

I am not particularly good with words, so I apologize if I'm coming across as kind of scatterbrained.

Rest easy, Gabe. I wish I got to know you better back during our school days.

Gabe was such an incredible soul. I went to high school and middle school with him and he was always such a bright light. One of my fondest memories between him and I was our senior year forensic science class. We both had this class together and would talk every single day, my friend, Gabe and Jaxson laughing and carrying on. I would help him with our work in that class and he would always tell me if it wasn´t for me he´d probably be failing. I look back on the memories I have with him and will cherish them forever. May he rest in peace as we keep his memories and legacy in our hearts forever.
