Update***

Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, reached out, and surrounded Gabe’s family with love and support. Your kindness has meant more than words can express during this incredibly difficult time. Service information will be shared as soon as those details are finalized.

Unfortunately, the family has also been faced with another unexpected challenge. This week, while returning from a service-planning meeting, Michael and Kamilyn were involved in a car accident caused by an uninsured driver. While they are sore and grateful that none of the children were with them, it is very likely that Michael’s vehicle will be totaled. As they continue to grieve, they are now also navigating insurance complications and the need for a replacement vehicle.

Thank you for continuing to keep this family in your thoughts, prayers, and hearts.

With heavy hearts, we are coming together to support Gabe’s family as they navigate the profound and heartbreaking loss of Gabe. Gabe was a beloved son, brother, nephew, uncle, and friend—cherished by his parents, adored by his siblings, and loved by all who knew him. He brought joy to his family with his love of wrestling, his enthusiasm for playing Minecraft with his older siblings, and his curiosity in searching for new recipes to try together. His warm, kind, and intelligent spirit touched everyone who knew him, and his absence will be deeply missed by all.

Gabe’s sudden passing has left his family facing not only immense grief, but also unexpected and immediate financial burdens during a time when their focus should be on mourning, remembering, and being together. This GoFundMe has been created to help ease those burdens. Funds raised will be used to assist with funeral and memorial expenses, travel costs for family members who live out of town so they can attend services, memorial keepsakes and mementos for loved ones, and essential self-care and mental health support as the family grieves and begins to heal.

Any contribution—no matter the size—is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to give financially, sharing this page or keeping the family in your thoughts and prayers is equally meaningful. Thank you for surrounding Gabe’s family with love, compassion, and support during this incredibly difficult time. Your kindness helps remind them that they are not walking this path alone.
