Gabe was a good young man he could light up a room and make everyone smile no matter if you were having a good day or a bad day he was always there to provide you with comfort. But he had a wild side to his nice and comforting personality he would like to explore and and be adventurest he was a dare devil to he would ride his dirtbike top speed hit jumps and wheelies and all that fun stuff. This adventures daredevilish personality had made a mark on his life effecting many of people friends and family unfortunately this date was the day of his passing he was in a rush to get his girlfriend he was going fast trying to get there quick but sadly he lost control of the wheel and went in to the trees and he wasn't wearing a seat belt and he was thrown from the car. For this sad event in time you learn a lesson that your not invincible and that your life can be take away from you it makes you think about how you really should be and act because you don't ever know when the lord will take you.
