Gabriel’s legacy will continue through his family, which also includes several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who knew him as a loyal friend and loving family member.

Gabriel was preceded in death by his father, Elias F. Alvarado, and the guiding spirits of his paternal grandparents, Elias T. and Maria A. Alvarado, as well as his maternal grandparents, Jose Guadalupe and Maria Angelita Sanchez. Their memories will provide comfort to his family in the days to come.
