Gabe's friends and his MVP / Good People in Oakland delivering hot meals and coffee this past Saturday. The green shirts all have his last name on the back. This feed was dedicated to Gabe. :-)

Your kindness and unwavering positivity were a constant source of inspiration and comfort. The world is a lesser place without you, but your legacy will live on in the hearts of those who were blessed to call you a friend. Rest in peace, Gabe. You will be deeply missed."

I don't know if anyone else posted this video here or not, but I saw that someone shared that Gabe was on an episode of Maui-topia, a local TV show. Each episode showcased an extraordinary person from Maui, and this one mentions so much of Gabe's amazing art.

Gabe was known to me as a small child upstairs trying to fall asleep while Bonnie, Millard and a collection of friends and me met in the evening on the first floor in his home. I truly only met Gabe once as an adult. I have now viewed most of the tributes to Gabe along with the wonderful, lively and fun ideos. I see clearly that I missed out on an opportunity to know and experience him. His enthusiasm to embrace life, creativity and what appears to be an appreciation humanity certainly shine through tributes to Gabe as does his love for Bonnie, Millard, Che and the extended family.

This album on repeat in ‘93. This music, this track captures so much of Gabe - his love of hip hop culture, language, life as art and wonder, poetry, joy, grace, authenticity, generosity.
