My brother Gabe and I grew up being the closest siblings. I remember we would always make up different songs when we were doing anything. Like riding our hot wheels with him in my dad's high heel shoes back in that day and I would wear my mom's high heels. And we had so much fun. Then we got older and he was the one who showed me how to dance. No matter how many times I messed up he would still make a move out of my mess up. I love you so much brother and I miss you like you would not believe. Brother my heart is so broken I don't think it will ever heal. I love you bro. I miss you

I remember the first time we all played Just Dance together. It wasn´t even about the game itself-it was about the laughter that filled the room. Your dad was always the one to make us all laugh the hardest, with his exaggerated moves and the way he´d throw himself into every routine, even if he didn´t quite get the steps right. But it didn´t matter-his enthusiasm was contagious. He´d always joke around, pretending to take the dance-off way more seriously than he did, making us all crack up every time. He will be missed.

Mostly all of my Marengo memories include Gabe. He was a loyal friend. A trusted confidant. A gentle giant. Soft spoken but fiercely protective. Rest in heaven my friend. I´ll be thinking of you cooking out in heaven and catching a game with your daddy and your brother. Go Cubbies!! Go Bears!!
