Gabriel was a kind-hearted, joyful, and welcoming man whose smile and happiness could brighten any room. He was known for his friendly nature, patience, and wonderful sense of humor. His ability to make others laugh, even in the simplest moments, was a gift that will be remembered and cherished by all who knew him.
Gabriel dedicated much of his life to the art and craft of bootmaking, a passion through which he shared his hard work, creativity, and dedication. He was also a devoted homemaker who took pride in caring for his home and family. Above all, Gabriel was a loving father and a man who valued the people closest to him.
Gabriel was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Maria D. Los Angeles Negrete, whose memory remained an important part of his life.
He leaves behind his children, Jessica Perez Palos, Jorge Perez, Pedro Gabriel Negrete, Ernesto Negrete, and Angel Negrete, who will carry his memory and the love he gave them throughout their lives.
Gabriel will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have known him. Though he is no longer with us, his laughter, kindness, patience, and ever-present smile will live on in the hearts of those he left behind.
May he rest in peace, and may his memory forever be a blessing.
