You will be missed. Even though we didn’t see alot of the family. I still loved you “Hairy” You are now our angel to watch over us. And you will light the skies up in heaven with your smile. <3
I am saddened at the death of such a talented, vibrant and caring young man. He was such a joy to have in the offices and was always very polite and willing to do anything that was asked of him. His smiling face will be missed by all the lives he touched at Franklin High School.

You will be sadly missed not only by myself but from everyone who have been touched by your silly smile and positive attitude. For a year and a half you sat in my class making it very interesting not only for me but those students who sat around you. We all will meet some day and sit around talking about the old days, causing chaos in the cafeteria and never being quiet in the back of the room with your net book huddled up with your buds. One last time… “sure Mr. Alcorn”
Danny, Wendy and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I’ve heard nothing but good things about your children from my grandchildren. Take care and God bless you all.

I am so very sorry for your loss! I can not imagine the pain. Gabe was a great friend to my daughter Kortnee Myers and she is very saddened by this loss of such a good friend. We saw him about an hour before the accident and Kortnee got to say Hi and Bye to him. Again very sorry for your loss.
From the first time I laid eyes on you there was a smile on your face. It could always bring a smile to mine. Just knowing I have to wait till heaven to see your smile again makes me cry every time I think about it.
It is such a shame for a life so young and precious to have to leave this world. Gabe little buddy you will truly be missed. I love you Gabe, till we meet again. Love Uncle Marty.
I’m really gonna miss you Gabe.:/ Rest easy, Bro.<3 I love ya. I'll never forget all the fun times we had together. R.I.P
Gabe was so nice he was my bestfriend and i did not find out unto the next day because i was gone.. gabe i miss you so much and i love you lost and lost <3
Our hearts and prayers go out to your family. Gabe will definitely be missed. His smiling face was always such a joy. His heart was pure gold and he was just like a member of the family. We always enjoyed having him around the house. God definitely got himself a good angel.
I have no words for your loss but I wanted to let you know how kind he was to my daughter, Jordie Saeli. They would talk and talk and he’d walk her home! God Bless your family.

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.”
