Gabe, Gabe, Gabe... I have so many fond memories of you from over the years. From the same home room in 7th grade, to dating your brother, and into becoming your sister-in-law. I was able to watch you transition from a "homeboy" wearing Filas, to your long standing country boy persona. You lived large in every sense of the word. You were often unpredictable, but could turn on the charm like nobody's business. I will miss that cute little grin and pouty lip that you could present in miscellaneous situations (faces that you can see in even your youngest of pictures). I regret that I didn't spend a lot of time with you toward the end there, and I wish that my daughter could have grown up to know her uncle better and would have had you to scare off her boyfriends for me, LOL. I am truly saddened by your loss, but I know that you are looking down on us and probably laughing at us about something or another. Anyway, I love you and you will always be a special contributor to my and many other people's lives. God bless you, Gabe. We miss you terribly.

Gabe, I sure will miss you. I will never forget that gentle smile and hello we exchanged almost daily at the gym. Never could get you to do legs with me...lol, but know that I looked for you each and every day, cause I knew you would give me a smile. May God send comfort to your family at this time. Lean on the Lord, and He will carry you through this.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Gabe's passing. It has been a pleasure to work with him over the past two years. I am praying the entire Curry Thomas Hardware Family will feel the embrace of God's arms around them; protecting them during this very dark time. "The Lord has anointed me to comfort all who mourn and to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair...Isaiah 61:1-3" Much love, from the Hardware Express Team

"Imagine if I was given one moment, just a single slice of my past. I could hold it close forever, and that moment would always last." Go with God, Gabriel. We will keep you close always, in our hearts. Donna
