Gabe had a contagious smile and boisterous personality. He loved to make people laugh and was incredibly loyal to his family and friends. Gabe enjoyed fishing, hunting, cuddling with his puppy, Axel, his limitless ice cream dates at the Whistle Stop in Lorimor, and of course riding his motorcycle. He always cherished the time he was able to spend with those he loved.
