Gabriel Maxson, December 2, 1899 - 1967, Pittsburg

Gabriel Maxson was one of the nicest persons to walk this earth with genuine joy to live and help others. He was the age of 58 when he left for a heavenly abode or as he would like to say Saint Peter opened “heavenly gates' for him. Gabriel is said to have died from his brain swelling from having the plate in his head for many years.

Gabriel was one of eleven siblings who were raised by a father who was not the nicest, his mother too was not a good role model either she left her family and husband when Gabriel was 13.

Gabriel was a soldier in World War II, he was injured during his service in the military. As a result of his injury to his head, he had to have a metal plate in his head. Gabriel’s mind may not have been the same as before, but he stayed happy even after acquiring such a severe injury. Gabriel would enjoy scaring away hellhounds on the street as he believed they would try to harm his family, he would also sell fruit around town. Gabriel would tell his story about being in heaven with Saint Peter and eating biscuits ad when Saint Peter would be done he would go to sleep and wait for Gabriel to sound his trumpet for the time of judgment.

Gabriel’s Head injury was something that may have inconvenienced Gabriel a lot but he was able to see the bright side of his mental illness and continue to be happy, his injury really helped his only brother Troy which is the only reason he was able to live comfortably in a house. Gabriel was put into a mental institution when he was 65 and remained there until his passing. Everyone in the mental hospital loved Gabriel for being always full of joy. In the hospital after his brother’s passing Gabriel became really passionate and decided to pursue the role of a deacon in his mental hospital. Gabriel would go on to be a deacon for the rest of his time here on earth.

Gabriel Maxson will be remembered as a loyal, kind, and compassionate uncle, brother-in-law, deacon, and friend. He had a wonderful talent for storytelling and was always a good listener. He exuded positive energy towards everyone he encountered and enjoyed dancing. Gabriel remained faithful to Saint Peter and eagerly awaited the opportunity to sound his trumpet and open the gates of heaven. He cherished engaging in conversations with others and had a kind spirit that will be missed dearly. His family member and friend who are predeceased before Gabriel are his friend Bono and his brother Troy Maxson. Gabriel leaves behind his two nephews (Cory and Lyons), his sister-in-law Rose, his hospital church where he helped, and many friends from Pittsburgh and beyond. He will be greatly missed and will never be forgotten.

A memorial mass celebrating his life will take place at 7110 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15208., on Saturday, December 27, 1899, at 4 pm for all family and friends.
