Frederick Gabriel Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Passed away January 10, 2025, at the age of 58.
Fred loved his family and his friends. He took pride in a hard day's work, enjoyed weightlifting, growing vegetables, nature watching, and relaxing with his cat, Howard, whom he enjoyed for 22 years. Fred made genuine connections with all he encountered and was one heck of a storyteller.
He is survived by his girlfriend, Jennifer Miller; sons, Brandan (Heather) Gabriel and Nicholas Gabriel; parents, Frederick G. & Madeline Gabriel; sister, Wendy (John) Haley; brother, Joe (Heather) Gabriel; nieces and nephews, Liz, Ben, Jay, and Hanna; grandson, Leonard; many aunts and cousins.
Fred's Memorial Service will be held on SATURDAY, January 25, at 11 AM at Church of the Transfiguration (50 W Bloomfield Rd).
Fred and his family are forever grateful for the care UR Medicine provided. Whether Cardiology, The Heart Failure Team, Emergency Services, or Hospice. Each encounter was genuinely caring and professional.

Fred you will never be forgotten. I enjoyed talking to Fred when he would stop by the office or just talking to him on the phone about how he was feeling that day. Everyone at Erie Station sends their condolences. I pray for his family and Jennifer. Fred was a sweet guy and will be truly missed. God bless and RIP.

Friend forever!!
Memories of a lifetime.
Something we can never value enough is to have with a great friend/brother. From being young kids and playing baseball in the Greenbelt, tennis, catch and shooting baskets in Fred's driveway. Never could have imagined a better friend. Even in our adult lives we always had great talks on the phone. Trips to Galvistons for a couple Dr. Peppers (adult style). We also used to have what we called our wawa time. You know, the first part of the conversation where we would go through all the crap going on in our lives. Then we would be joking and catching up on all the great times we've had, past and present. He was always great at helping to boost my spirits, even though he thought it was me helping him. We helped each other. Never will there be a friend who hears intently what you have to say nor is as open about their life. Fred you will be so missed.
Truly your friend,
Kevin
