It was an honor to have known you and worked with you. Many of my days were made better by the happiness and joy that you brought with you to work. You truly cared and were of great service to the communities of your jurisdiction. You were taken far too early and it has left me with overwhelming sadness.

Rest in peace Gabe and thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice. You will NEVER be forgotten.
