Funeral of Gabriel Topping

At the young age of 22, my brother, Gabriel unexpectedly was taken from this world on Monday 23rd January 2022.

He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, cousin, uncle, nephew and friend. He had his whole life in front of him, with lots to look forward to. In life he had established himself as a successful car salesman, had his own flat and found himself a lovely girlfriend.

Outside of work Gabriel was an avid skateboarder who loved listening to music and spending time with his friends. He attended the gym everyday and found himself in great shape, which encouraged him to take up mixed martial arts. Again, this was something he was establishing himself in and finally secured himself his first amateur fight, something he now won’t be able to take part in.

Our family are devastated at this tragic event, non more so than my doting father, who loves his boys dearly.

In pursuit of his career, Gabriel relocated to Portland, on the west coast of America. With this we now find ourselves in a position where we have to get to USA ASAP to organise his belongings and lay his beautiful soul to rest. The cost of travel, accommodation and funeral arrangements are extremely costly at this unprecedented time. Therefore, I ask for any sort of help which will enable our family to concentrate on the important matter at hand.

Gabriel deserves to have his family around him and have the best send off possible. Please, if you can, give whatever is possible. This will be massively appreciated and will forever remain in our hearts.

Rest in peace little brother. Gabriel, you are a true angel.
