In Loving Memory of Gabriel Vicente Valencia

July 10, 1972 - February 19, 2026

Gabriel was a devoted husband, loving father, playful grandfather, gentle son, teasing brother, loyal friend and a man of strength and integrity. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family, always putting their well-being first. His quiet dedication and steady presence created a foundation of security and love in his home.

Gabriel leaves behind his devoted wife, six children, and three grandchildren who were the absolute pride of his life. He was also a deeply loved son, brother, uncle, teammate and friend to so many. Of all his accomplishments, nothing meant more to him than his family. He loved his children so much. He showed up to games, to practices, to everyday moments; cheering the loudest, supporting fully, and loving unconditionally.

He was the proud owner of One Day Installation & Repairs, a business he built through hard work, determination, and integrity. He believed in working hard and giving your full effort to whatever you do. That same dedication carried into his home life, even after a long day of work he would come home and give 100% to his family. Often spending evenings at sports practices and games. He loved hosting family and friends, filling his house with laughter, food, and making memories.

Gabriel was generous to his core. He gave freely — of his time, his resources, and his heart. He was also incredibly funny. He could light up a room with his humor. He loved quoting movies and making his family and friends laugh.

Soccer was one of his earliest loves. As a young boy, he would kick a ball against a wall for hours — and if he didn't have a ball, he would make one out of whatever materials he could find. That passion stayed with him throughout his life. He was well known for how talented he was and was known as "La Bomba" to many. Through soccer he built lifelong friendships and community.

He will be remembered for his hard work, his loyalty, his warmth, and the deep love he had for his family. His legacy lives on in the strength and character of his children and grandchildren.

May his memory be eternal.
