Gabriel is my nephew. Gabriel always greeted you with a warm smile and a gentle hug. Gabriel always thought about other before himself. He loved spending time with his family and friends. He was commitment to the highest ethical principles and willingness to extend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He loved the simplest family gathering. Gabriel with be in my heart forever. Gabriel has been called to heaven. No one can know the sorrow we feel having lost someone who was so special to us.



I meet Gabriel at a mutal friends party I think he was 17 and I was 16, as soon I saw him I was crushing on him, I always liked his pretty eyes, in the party he introduced him self but he started with my mom then he started conversating with me and my two sisters in the end he invited all of us to the house so we can go to the pool, we went a lot and had such good times he was so kind and generous after a while we lost touch again then I saw him again in another party and I was melting again this picture of him was taken that day, we spent the whole party together, we talked and all the sudden he kissed me and of course I kissed him back I was so happy then I turn around and he was gone lol I think he got shy lol but I didn't care I was like yassssss! I got my kiss! from Gabriel, we lost touch again because he move back home and then years later I ran into a mutual friend of ours and the 1st thing I said is where is Gabriel? she told me he was on her Facebook and I looked him up and he was happy to hear from me too, I have never met someone so kind, sweet, respectful, responsible!, and so hard working Gabriel always thought about others before him self, Gabriel is seriously one of a kind! he means a lot of things to me but most of all he is my heart, there will never be another like him. We are all truly blessed to have had him In Our lives! Rest in peace love, I miss you so much and I ❤ you! Besitos! Forever!💋💋💋

Gabe was a good friend in high school. I spent many days at his home playing video games in the game room and losing boxing matches in his basement. We shared weekend nights blasting nirvana in his Nissan truck up Glendora mountain road and laughing until curfew. He had a kindness to him that I valued and respected.  Gods peace to his family. 

Gabe was my Cousin but more like my Brother. We grew up about a year apart and we’ve been close from the day he was born. I’ll cherish the many memories Gabe and I shared over our years together. I love you Man and I miss you a lot! I know you are watching over us all...

Mendoza family (our family) blessed to have met Gabriel and the family. The best celebration on the boat. I can hear us teasing Gabriel as he or anyone in that matter would go to the restroom. He'd step out with a grin. Not a person of a lot of words but that GRIN/SMILE said it all. Too many memories to mention honored to have these memories. he will be MISSED. Rest in Paradise my brother from another. MOTHER. 

Gabriel, Té extraño y té quiero mucho!❤💋

I'm Gabriel 's tia Goya, I have only love, respect and honor to have had him in my life. Since he was my sisters first born son. I was there to see him as a baby. I watched him grow up to be a strong, intelligent and kind young man. He is truly missed and loved. The Lord called him to haven to be with our other loved ones. May you rest in the arms of of lord. Amen
