Gabriel Rudolph Obituary


RUDOLPH,
Gabriel Michael
(Age 7)

Our precious son was born April 30, 2004 on the island of Cyprus to Nehemiah and Shersti Rudolph. July 21st he left us to be in the arms of Jesus. He was born with Trisomy 13, and his whole life was a miracle that we treasured every moment of. He wasn't expected to live past three, but we enjoyed seven years with our little angel. He was our warrior with a sweet spirit because although he suffered many things, he always fought through courageously. His little heart was always so sweet and tender. Everybody who met Gabriel always commented on how handsome he was and what a special boy he was. Soaking up every hug, cuddle and kiss, Gabriel loved those special people in his life very much and could never get enough of it. We loved to hear him laugh spontaneously for seemingly no reason at all and also when we would tickle him. It was contagious. His mama, papa, sisters Yerus and Aliyah, along with many, many other people who loved him dearly will miss his sweet smile and lovable personality. We will always love you Gabriel, and you will forever be written on our hearts. Please join us as we remember Gabe's beautiful life at 2:00PM Saturday July 30th at Zion Christian Center, 545 E. Wellesley Ave.

Dear Miah and Shersti
We had not heard until Bedig wrote to us.

God Bless you all

Shersti and Miah-We had no idea. Our hearts mourn for your loss. We will pray for a peace that surpasses all understanding. May His Presence be so sweet and carry you through this very difficult time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Our invitation for a bbq and/or swim in the pool is an open invitation. We wish there was more we could do. God bless you, bless you, bless you! God touch them and hold them with Your fresh touch~ Amen.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, know that Gabriel is being cared for by a much higher power now and that his journey is begining anew.
I never met Gabriel, but his Dad came in often to pick up doughnuts and we had a common interest in Cyprus. My heart goes out to you.

I never had the pleasure of meeting little Gabriel but have fallen in love with his contagious smile over the years. How we grieve with you Miah and Shersti. You have said it right. He is your little angel and he fought like a warrior so I guess that makes him your warrior angel now! May the Lord bless you and keep you in the days ahead.

May the Lord bless you, your family, and your community with His abundant grace and love as you walk through this most difficult time. It is easy to see that Gabriel left a sweet mark deep in the hearts of those who knew him. I pray that his mantle of "spontaneous laughter" would rest on the shoulders of each of us and the memory of this little one would brighten our hearts for a lifetime...
Much love

What a blessing to have seen that smile and heard that wonderful laugh.

Like a butterfly on the hand, not to be contained, but beautiful to see take flight, Gabe's short life released the wonder of love all around him.

Through him, we are changed for the better by love.

We will miss you, Gabriel!

God had and still has a special purpose for your son. I pray that in His grace and wisdom He will continue to let you see glimpses of this everyday. I am so so sorry for your loss.
