Gabriel, it's so hard to believe you have been gone from the earth for a year now. Each day I think of you. And how we were as children. You were the center of our family. I'm so sorry I moved away at a young age and missed out on so many years of your life. This hurts me so so so very much as I always looked forward to the day our family would be close and back together. Now I will have to look forward to uniting with you in the heavens. We were so much a like in so many ways. I will always miss you, I will never forget you. I will think of you each morning I awake and before sleep. I love you brother always and forever.

Gabriel was my first love and best friend and I have never nore will i ever erase him from my heart or mind. He was loving, passionate, and devoted to what ever he would put his mind to. I remember how he loved his oatmeal to be cooked and how much he loved your spaghetti. Gabe always wanted a son and to have a family of his own and he was blessed with that soon after me and i always believed he would be a great father if given the chance. Gabe I will always love you! and Sandra I love you for being a great mother to your son and for all those times you were able to bring him back to the middle when times were hard. I will be donating some money but will not attend the funeral because i dont want that to be my last memory of him and dont have the funds to fly to utah right now. God Bless and if you ever need someone to talk to i'm here.

I met Gabe when he and my son Ben were in either kindergarten or 1st grade - he became a member of our family. I use to tease him when he would come over and ask him why he kept bringing that Ben kid home with him. He was a wonderful young man. We loved him and he will be missed!!!

I have known Gabriel fro almost a year. I had the privlige of training Gabe upon arrival. Instantly I know Gabriel would be an asset to the company. His drive and work ethic spoke volumes. Over time Gabe and I would talk about many things, most notably family, life, work. Gabriel's persona and charisma will be missed. He made a lasting impression that will without a doubt be remembered. My deepest condolences go out to his mother Sandra and family and especially his son. Respectfully, your friend always.

Sandra,
You have always been a great neighbor and your son was very respectful. He would always wave to my kids and they loved to watch him drive his remote control cars. If there is anything you need, please let me know.

I will miss Gabe, I will miss talking to him about the next UFC fight, or about the bible or just about how crazy work is, He was a good kid and a hard worker, I will never forget Gabriel Barnes, and will be reminded of him on a daliy basis. When you spend 8+ hours a day with peolple you develop a strong bond like a work brotherhood, you figure out who you can depend on and who you cant, I could always depend on Gabe to help with anything, and show up for work and do his job 110% My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends he left behind. God bless you and take care.

I would like to give my condolences to your entire family. May God Bless and help you find peace and comfort with your lost.

Those we love and have lost will remain with us,
For love we have for them lives on in our hearts.

Cherished Memories never fade, they never go away.

Those we love will never
Be more than a thought away.

For as long as there is
Memories that live within us,
They'll always live on in our hearts.

If there is anything I can do please let me know....

God Bless you and your family,

I Loved Gabe with all my heart. He was an incredible man. He always found a way to make me laugh and I loved making him laugh. I hope he knew how much I loved him. I miss him so much. We had an incredible relationship that few knew about. He was the love of my life. We never even had one argument! We were so different and yet we were great together. He talked about his son all the time. He loves that little boy so much. He was his life. I believe he will be Julian's guardian angel! I hope he is just like his Dad. Gabe was a good man and was way too hard on himself. He had so much to offer and didn't give himself enough credit. He made me happy everyday. I will miss him everyday. I can't believe he's gone. I want his family to know how sorry i am and that I love him. I will always love him. He was one of a kind. I love you Gabe, always and forever! -Marci Ferre
