I am so sorry to read about the passing of Gabriel. There are no words that can be said to remove the sadness and pain that you feel, and I can't say that I know how you feel at this time, or that I don't know your pain. But the Bible recommends, rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. So until your tears turn into joy, I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt sympathy to you for the loss to your family. (Romans 12:15)

Deeply sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this difficult time. 

God bless, 

Irma and Ruben Galaviz

Our heartfelt condolences to Gabriel's family. Although I may have only met Gabriel as a very young boy when we lived in El Paso, my Comadre Lily many times talked of him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Sorry to hear about Gabriel. May God's peace be with the family in the months ahead.

So sorry for your loss. I pray that God will comfort you during this time and give you the strength you need at this time.

Remember the love you feel when you hug your daughter.  It's the same love that our Father in heaven feels when he hugs his children.  May God give you and your family Peace.  Love Your Friend

Taken too soon, we mourn the loss of Gabriel. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the Perez clan. May our faith comfort us as it is we who are in so much pain, while Gabriel is welcomed into our Lord's loving arms in paradise.

Mario and I are heart broken, we loved Gabe so much, we will miss him so very very much. He was always willing to help us and always asked about all the neighbors around us. We will never know a better person he was the best and I know he is with our Lord, rest in peace our beautiful friend!!! Mario & Gloria (El Paso, TX)

I'am deeply saddened by the news of Gabriel's passing.  I had the privilege to work with "Gabe" many years ago.  I learned so much from him, but most importantly he became a friend I could tell anything to without ever being judged.  Our work and friendship dynamic was truly special and I will forever miss him.  I will never forget his laugh and charisma that would fill a room.  Gabe truly inspired me on so many levels. My sincerest deepest condolences go out to the Acosta family and friends during this trying time.

Our sincere condolences from the Lewis Family.  Gabriel was our friend and neighbor and he always went out of his way to help people in need.  He will be severely missed and always remembered.  Rest In Peace my friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.  May God's love and strength help you during this very difficult time.  Michael & Irma Walsh

I had the pleasure to work with Gabe and remember his smile and warm heart. Gabe always made friends wherever he went and always made sure those around him were comfortable. What a pleasure and honor to have known him. We will surely miss him. Blessings to the family and friends.

Sincere condolences from Jerome, Corina Garcia and family. May your faith sustain you through this difficult time.

I shall miss our occasional Sunday dinners at Aunt Lily's house when you took the time to love us all. Your fast retorts; your smiles.  Heaven truly received a child of God; you will keep them in stitches!. Condolences to the family. Don't forget he would not want us to be sad but to celebrate who he was. God Bless you.  Tia Peti

My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult loss.

Gabe you are forever now in God's loving arms and will have a new responsibility up in heaven.  You have a wonderful family that will miss you greatly, but you obviously left them with many wonderful memories which they will always cherish.  May our Lord bring peace to each of your family and friends as they go through this most difficult time.  We will see you again one day at our Father's home.

I admired Gabe in many ways for many things. He was like a brother to me and I'm blessed to have had him in my life. He had never ending wit with a mind that worked in the most interesting ways. There was never a dull conversation and he always made us laugh. You could immediately tell that he cared for his family and friends deeply with his actions; he always gave more than he took. I will forever miss him in my life. 

God had bigger plans for you, Gabe, and we will mourn for being left behind. One day I will see you again; until then, I love you.

My condolences to the family. May God give you the strength to get through this difficult time. Always remember Gabe smiling. Saddens me to here of his passing. Rest in piece.

My condolences to the family. A great person I had the pleasure of meeting once but felt like I knew Gabe much more just by the great words spoken of him. May God bless and comfort you at this difficult time.

I think by now you have things rocking in HEAVEN, May the peace of our lord be forever with you. I will deeply miss you Gabe. 
My deepest condolences to Sylvia, Rudy and Robbin. May you find peace in our lord. You should be immensely proud of Gabe. You raised a wonderful man and tremendous nephew. I loved him like my own.
