Gabe always welcomed everyone with open arms and his infectious laugh. He made time for everyone and was always there when we needed him. He was incredibly kind, big-hearted and trustworthy. He was self-educated on a broad range of topics and could share his knowledge for hours. Gabe was a great listener and passionate about so many things. He enjoyed traveling, shooting, riding, music, cooking, video games, J’s Teriyaki, Eddie’s, Jager, “Game of Thrones,” “South Park,” “The Walking Dead,” history, German culture, concerts, the Sounders, Supercross, guns and fireworks but most importantly he enjoyed sharing these interests with his family and friends.

Gabe was a beloved son, brother, uncle and friend. Gabe had a large extended family of friends who cared and loved him like a brother. Gabe loved and cherished each one of them in his heart like family. We all have our own special memories with Gabe. He was genuinely a kind-hearted soul who touched many lives. We loved him so much; he will live on in each one of our hearts. Gabe was one of a kind. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and Genie team members.

Survivors include his mother Blanca Gonzalez; brothers Tito (Jennifer) Gonzalez and Librado Nano (Norma) Gonzalez; niece and nephews Alexis, Javier, Mason, and Juan and many aunts and uncles. He was preceded in death by his father Lalo, his sister Rosemary and his grandparents.
