Gabriel Torres was born on November 19, 1995 in Temple, Texas to Maria Torres and Valeriano Torres. He graduated Troy High School with the class of 2014. Following graduation, he began working for Wilsonart. He was a wonderful son, father, brother, and uncle – he was loved by so many. The love of his life was his precious daughter, Gianna Torres. He loved to spend every single free minute with her. He was very family oriented and one of six children, part of a very tight-knit family. He loved to grill, play basketball, watch football, go to the beach, sing, dance and spend time with family. He loved to make everyone feel included and his bright, beautiful smile would light up the room. He truly had a heart of gold. Gabriel was preceded in death by a brother, Valeriano Torres, Jr.
