Gabe was one of the most kindest big hearted guy I have ever known.. I meet Gabe when I was a teenager and we always managed to stay in contact through out the years. No matter what was going on if I needed a true friend to talk to Gabe was always there. In fact a few years ago he did something for me that I will never forget and till this day I'm still here becuz of what Gabe did that night for me. And now he's gone but Gabe you will never be forgotten and always in my heart! Love you always and my thoughts and prayers are with your family..
