Seventeen years isn’t usually enough time for one to accomplish the tasks set before them. Gabe however, was apparently an astonishingly fast worker. He finished his race, and what a beautiful race it was. He greeted Jesus with that amazing smile of his and received a bear hug in return and is now praising and feasting in the whitest of whites, which by the way, are three of Gabe’s favorite things, Praising his Lord and Savior, enjoying the best of food (or junk, whatever though), and good clothes.
Gabe IS a Christian, therefore Gabe IS in heaven and we will see him again. He IS because he knew his Savior while here on earth and now he sees his Lord face to face. This is our comfort, even in the midst, and we are praying that it will be your comfort as well. God is good. God is love. God is waiting, just not for Gabe, because Gabe is home.

Ephesians 2 :8-10
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
A service celebrating Gabe’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 21, 2023 at the White Sulphur Springs Alliance Church, 702 2nd Ave SW SE. A reception will take place at the Bonanza Creek County Lodge in Lennup following the service.
Mike & Alida Rhynard says
During the summer of 2022, Gabe was our (Mike & Alida Rhynard) do-everything helper on the ranch. And the high point, each day he was here, was the moment he entered the house and illuminated everything in it with his contagious smile. Then, the glow followed him around the premises for the rest of the day, adding its brightness to everything he touched, no matter how gnarly the day’s task. That glow was the manifestation of Gabe’s attitude about life and everything he did. Never was there a task too difficult or intimidating for him; and best, he was one of those rare people who sees things that need to be done and quietly does them without being told. But beyond his work ethic, he had a quiet depth about him, preferring to have lunch on the front porch instead of inside, because he so appreciated the scenery. Then, there was the day he accompanied me to Bozeman and back, to help me unload a truckful of heavy items; and we discussed deep aspects of American history and Viking history the entire trip. He had a depth of historical knowledge of both, far superior to anything I’ve seen in a high school kid for decades. And last, Gabe carried himself with that poise and respect for others found only in quietly-confident people. Gabe truly touched us during the time he spent with us, and we miss him greatly.
