Gabriel Nathan Smith

A gifted tattoo artist, Gabriel enjoyed exploring his creative and artistic side with drawing and other forms of art. He took immense pleasure in the freedom of riding his motorcycle and was proud to have something he loved that was his own. Gabriel had a good sense of humor and fun-loving nature about him. In his spare time, he enjoyed watching YouTube gaming videos that would always make him laugh. He loved spending time with his beloved sons, Nicolas Nathaniel Villegas and Elijha Rashad Smith making them breakfast every morning and talking to them about anything and everything. He was happy to be in a place in his life where he could begin to grow his relationships with his sons and help to guide them through life. He also loved spending time with his brother, Don Smith, and the rest of his family. He was adventurous. He loved living life, taking trips to the beach, and his favorite quote was “chill and be still, let’s enjoy life.” Gabriel was a loyal and protective man when it came to his friends and family, and he will be missed by us all.

Gabriel was preceded in death by his grandparents, Donicio (Nicho) Gomez and Susie G. Gomez.
