This is very sad news. Although I have not seen Gabriel in years I always remember his laugh if you were down all he would have to do is laugh and what ever you were down about you would forget. He was always so playful and even though we went through alot in life he always manage to keep a great sense of humor. Much love to all of his family.

It's been many years since I have seen my cousin Gabriel. I will never forget the fond memories from our childhood. Hearing you guys speak of him, making you laugh brings a smile to my face. As kids Gabriel would always make us all laugh as we were all running around playing. I will miss him dearly. My God bless him and all the family and friends during this time.
