Gabriel Noel Lazo

Gabriel Noel Lazo, 26, passed away unexpectedly Feb. 27, 2025, from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. Gabriel was born April 21, 1998, in Moses Lake, Washington. Although he lived in various places throughout his youth, Moses Lake was always home to him.

He attended Moses Lake High School and graduated in 2016. This is where he met and started dating his longtime girlfriend, Alicia Garza. Together they were blessed with their first child, Noel Cruz Lazo, 3, and are expecting the arrival of their baby girl later this spring.

In 2019, Gabriel moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he began his career with Holder Construction. Over the course of six years, Gabriel made significant contributions to projects in Charlotte, N.C., and Charleston, S.C., where he was living at the time of his passing. His positive attitude, dedication and hard work left lasting impressions on everyone he worked with, from fellow associates to clients and trade contractors.

Gabriel was known for his infectious sense of humor and unwavering dependability. He had a natural ability to bring laughter to those around him and was always ready to lend a helping hand. His generous nature and zest for life left a lasting impression on everyone he met. His kind heart and infectious smile will be deeply missed.

Gabriel found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved golfing, fishing and hanging out having a drink with his co-workers. Above all else, he cherished the moments spent with his son, creating memories that will be treasured forever.

Gabriel is survived by his girlfriend, Alicia, their son, Noel, and their soon-to-be-born baby girl; his parents, Art Lazo and Vanessa and Angel Medina; siblings Leonardo Lazo, and Karli, Ezekiel, Elijah and Valerie Medina; niece Nayeli Medina; grandparents Juana Lazo, David Cruz Rick and April Trenbeath and Linda Medina; great-grandparents Anita Cruz and Lupe Arousa; as well as numerous uncles, aunts, cousins and extended family. Let us not forget his beloved cat, Minx.

He is preceded in death by his brother, Isaiah Medina; grandparents Hector Lazo and Angel Medina; great-grandparents Arturo Cruz, Alicia Arousa and Connie Meza; uncles Julian Avina and Randy Garcia; and cousins Elizabeth Navarro and Armando Benevidez.

Those who knew Gabriel will remember him as someone who lived life to the fullest, bringing warmth and laughter wherever he went. May his memory bring comfort to those who loved him.
