Gabriel was a determined and intelligent man who lived life on his own terms.  Prior to illness, he was a passionate and hard working Journeyman Electrician for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 357 in Las Vegas, Nevada.  He enjoyed working on many well known buildings such as the Bellagio Hotel, the Palms Hotels and Trump Tower to name a few.  Though he followed his passions, family was always close at heart.  He had a great sense of humor and optimism which reflected in him often using one word, “smile”. In 2016, he returned to New Mexico where he lived with and was cared for by family. His days were filled with God, love, friendship, art and pride for having lived a life such that he worked hard to play hard and above all, he loved deeply.
