Gabriel was an avid softball player and loved watching Kung Fu movies with his brothers. He enjoyed being outside, doing yard work, and grilling. He loved his two grandchildren more than anything. Gabriel treasured playing Thomas the Train with Collin, and watching cat movies with Kaylie. If you asked anyone about Gabriel, they would say that he valued helping people. If anyone needed the help or would ask anything from him, he was there for them in an instant, no questions asked.
