Gabe's Interests
General
Rifle hunting (every morning and night) is top of the list right now. I'm also fixing up my Grandpa's old ice fishing shanty to become my new shanty, but the generic list goes as follows: hunting (bow, rifle, muzzle loader, small game), fishing, camping, backpacking, mountian biking, snowboarding, S.C.U.B.A. diving, sky diving, cliff diving, muff diving (J/K seeing who was paying attention), 2 tracking, weight lifting, swimming, climbing... pretty much anything outside! I also love pool, darts, and a handfull of various drinking games.
Music
Alt rock, rock, rap, hip hop mostly. I enjoy everything but country, but I have to be in the right mood to listen to classical or oldies or stuff like that. What I'm big on right now: Nine Inch Nails, Buckcherry, Rehab, Young Joc, Jibbs, Korn, Disturbed, Rob Zombie, Eminem.
Movies
Matrix, Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolution, Fight Club, Pump Up The Volume, Full Metal Jacket, Pulp Fiction, Swordfish, Clerks, Mall Rats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II, Office space.
Television
Turns people into fat, lazy, unimaginitive pieces of shit. That being said... I'm addiced to Nip Tuck, but I work too much to watch it. I also like House.
Books
Stephen King's epic Dark Tower series, anything Stephen King, Angel's And Demons, Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress (I'm on a Dan Brown kick okay), State Of Fear by Michael Crichton.
Heroes
My Grandpa for teaching me to hunt and fish, and my Mom for instilling in me a life-long love of the outdoors.
Ask me an honest question, and I'll give you an honest answer; be careful with your questions though, TOTAL honesty can be very hurtful.
Just when you think you're really getting to know everything about me, I'll surprise you with something completely new and unexpected. I can do almost anything... and I just might; keep your eye on me 'cause you never know what's next! I like intellectual conversation, and mind numbing drinking games. I can do computer programming in several languages and I can weld. I play chess, and I play paintball. I lift weights, and I do gymnastics. Come get to know me, I've got something for everyone! Oh yeah, I don't wear pants either, so deal with it.
Who I'd like to meet: Cool people. I love to meet cool people. I don't care if you're white, black, yellow, red, or purple, straight, bi, or gay, male, female, or shemale, if you're a cool person, I want to meet you and hang out!
just sitting here at the bar(working) damn my bad luck!! a group of pple came in and ordered jager (no training wheels) and budweiser chasers....yepp bud you are still here in this world everyday bro you will be thought of and not forgotten....to the frozen tundra and budweiser to keep ya warm......-kc
Happy Birthday Gabe! I miss you more than you could imagine. Getting my first tattoo today..in honor of you. I hope you're happy with it. Love you always.
Happy Birthday Gabers! While I myself am not celebrating you with a toast today...( I'm sure not that you would have expected it since I never have.. ;) LOL) I have no doubt that there are many a parties happening right now and many a glasses that will be raised in your honor. I'm sure your Whooping it up somewhere....just cuz somethings never change. lol.
I hate the fact that I won't get to hear your voice tomorrow and won't be able to go have a beer and a shot with you. My life hasn't been the same since I lost you and it will never be quite complete! I miss you so much, so where ever you are at, watching me from-know that I wish I could spend your birthday with you!
Gabe- This week just isn't the same without you. It didn't seem like much of a birthday without everyone being together to celebrate it. I hope you are up there having a blast for the two of us. Happy Birthday bro!!
Tomorrow is your birthday gabe, I wish i could call you at midnight and say happy birthday. Just know that i will be thinking of you when i watch the clock hit 12!!I miss you so much!!! I will never forget you, I dont think anyone that got a chance to meet you ever could!!!!! You always had a way of seeing the bright side!!! Till we get to meet again! Know you are loved VERY much by all!!!!
well since it is is the eve of Gabe's Bday I figured that it was only right that you start with a birthday toast at midnite starting his party day. So I will prolly be at p'mores around 11ish to give Gabe a toast at midnite. If Anybody wants to join that would be great!!! Or if you know of a better place then give me a call 231 578 6274 -kc
just last night I had a cold BUD and toasted to the Gator. Like the rest of your friends and family I believe that you will never really be totally gone. There is a manerism, thought, style, saying and or an idea in all of us that you have planted. You may not be here in this realm but you live in the hearts, souls and conscience of us all. Love ya Bro
As I wake up early on this morning of Memorial Day (who are we kidding, I haven't been to bed yet) I would feel remiss if I didn't remember my homey from the NMU and the 1812.
You never really did leave us. You live on in me (as I'm sure you do in others) with every mannerism I copy from you and every choice I make to keep a tiny bit of your soul alive.
At this point you're a folk hero to me. An idol that most people wouldn't understand. But, to the folks that knew you, this is on no level a big surprise.
The first Memorial Day without you is upon us. Only Fourth of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, December 8th, Christmas and New Year's to go.
I'll never forget you, holmes. I can promise you that much.
I miss you more than words can express! I love you and think of you tons! I hope you are looking down on me and that I will be able one day make you proud of me!
I hope you can still read this stuff from wherever your at.... :) I don't think there is a day that goes by when I don't think of you and miss you...it sucks that I have to drive by where you were found several times a day-i hate it in fact. you should be here. i can honestly say that i'm mad at you for not being around. :( even if i hardly ever saw you-at least you were still here.
We will miss u soooo much man. May u rest in peace. Summers up here in Alaska will be missing one of the greatest guys I have ever met. I will have a beer for u every poker night (Office Smith) lol
Everything about you made me smile...you were was one of the best people I knew in my life and someone who helped me through more than anyone i can think of..my car accident in marquette..breaking my leg...moving..you were the one person ALWAYS by my side no matter what...I know you are in a better place watching over us all and if anyone deserves a place in Heaven its you babe...I love you and would give anything for one more night at the Nickel, hike on Sugarloaf,all-nighter drinkin Bud on the beach or just a night @ the house with Taco and the ferret Bandit (mammals!!)the only person I could think of who would know all our stupid jokes is you....all the nights you carried my dumbass inside cuz i couldnt walk in the stupid heels you always told me I shouldnt wear when it was icy out...lol...and of course I never listened...just like you wore shorts in the snow and ice..I wore stilettos :o)~ I hope you’re up there still laughing @ our silliness..I love you and may you rest in peace sweetheart..Im puttin up some pics that I know would make you grin... My heart goes out to Gabes family and know that you all are in my prayers and to Gabe's parents~you couldnt of raised a more caring,loving,giving and amazing son...know that he is in a better place and will be missed by SO many people who's lives he touched. God Bless you in the hard time.
I know that we didn't do as much together over the last few years. But you will always ahve a place in my heart and will be missed!! I know your watching us all now and that your ok. But it still hurts knowing that your not on this earth anymore. Know that Annie will be watched over and will never be alone. No one can replace you-but we will certainly do our best to be there for her. Love you, horselady.
I will never forget you, how could I? You had that way about you... so personable and caring. I know you are watching over everyone - and I just wanted to say that I miss you very much and I wish I would have been able to spend more time with you... I'm sure when we meet up again I'll see you in a truck w/ a keg in the back ready to go 2 tracking...
I know you are watching over me now, but it still doesn't make the pain go away. My heart will break thru every happy moment I have for the rest of my life, knowing I won't get to tell you about it. The past 24 years of my life will always be remembered to me as my best years because you were part of them. I love you with every piece of my broken heart!
Now that we know you've left us it doesn't make the pain go away. Closure hasn't been even an after thought. All that consumes us is grief and saddness. The saddness that we will never get to hangout again. I am so glad I got to know you Gabe. You inspire me to be a better person. You will be missed Bro!
Buddy, something about you was always bigger than life. You had more energy and the charisma than anyone I have ever met in my life. You were always there, and always looking for a good time. All I wish is that I could spend one more good time with you. Take care buddy! I hope the Natty Ice tastes sweeter up there...
I am greatly saddened by the news. And to think I did not even know you in person. You happened to reach and write to me by chance. I figured I had all the time in the world to meet up with you at the bar in town and take you up on that birthday drink. A young guy with all the potential in the world, it just doesn't make sense. I'd look at all your pics and laugh and think yeah I used to do all that crazy shit too. (Back in the day). I just wanted to let your family know that this has touched everyone in this town, I searched the paper everday for news. My heart goes out to your family and all the close friends who knew and love you.
Gabe, I am happy that your family can have some closure. This is not fair i love you and I miss you every day and expesially friday night for poker.I dont understand why this happened. But i know that your putting in a good word for me up there:) The kids miss you and they wont understand why either. For your family words cannot explain fellings but I want them to know that they reaised one hell of a son and he touched so many lives. I love you and I will miss you everyday. Someone plese let me know when the services will be I would like to come down and pay my respects. And to all of his freinds remember that he will always be with us in some way so dont be sad be happy that he is in the safest happiest place he can be.
RIP GABE YOUR A GREAT GUY AND WILL BE MISSED. WE WILL DEFINETLY MISS THOSE LATE NIGHT CALLS WHEN YOU JUST WANTED TO CHAT WITH YOUR BUDS FROM ALASKA. FOREVER AND ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS THE WARD FAMILY IN ALAKSA
