Gabe was always smiling and cracking jokes everytime I met him. Was good at making a situation easy going and playful. Wish I got to meet and hang out with him more. Always had the well meaning attitude when I did. Something I personally love about other JW's. See you again, brother.

My heart goes out to all blessed to have shared in the joyful spirit you so generously shared. Your exuberance for life, and varied talents and interests were amazing. I will sorely miss that beautiful smile and joy you showed in everything you did. How I enjoyed vicariously sharing your travels, ski trips, meals, and that wonderful grin to make it clear that whatever you were doing, first and foremost, you were having fun doing it. Gabe, you were greatly loved, and will be ever so greatly missed. Although our hearts are broken, we are better for having had you in our lives, however briefly. Much love, Aunt Marlene
