Gabriel Michael Mendoza

Gabriel Michael Mendoza, known by his friends and family as Gabe, entered the world on June 19, 1975. Gabe went through many different stages of the ultimate game called life. Some levels he excelled at and some he was still trying to figure out how to beat. On June 24, 2018, Gabe lost his final battle to his arch nemesis, Cancer. Gabe was the ultimate, self-proclaimed, Geek. He loved comic books, video games, anime, movies and was a very creative and artistic person. Gabe leaves behind his grandmother Virginia Villaverde, his children; Delia, Gabriel Jr. and Cynthia Mendoza, his parents; Robert Larios and Diana Mendoza, his step parents; Rebecca Larios and Albert Mendoza, his brothers and sisters, Robert, Joseph and Michael Larios; Lisa, Martin and Annjanette Mendoza as well as many other family members and friends. Please join his family in celebrating his life on Friday, July 13, 2018 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. To honor Gabe, we invite everyone to wear a t-shirt with their favorite Superhero, Supervillain, Anime, Star Wars or any other “geeky” character. Funeral services will be held at the Resthaven Park Mortuary, located at 4310 E. Southern Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85042.
