To Val and family, my condolences to you during this very sad loss of Mike.

Love Pat and Joe

Tim and I were so sorry to hear of Mike's passing.  I so enjoyed my phone calls with him and the texts he would send me.  We knew him since his youth coming over to spend time with our son Scott.  Our deepest sympathy.

Our condolences to your family from all of us Gabel's.  There are so many good and crazy memories that we have shared as friends.  However the Dr. Hakeman always make me smile. I swear everyone thought he was a Dr. He might as well went back to school for that, everyone was asking advice.  

I remember when he would tease me because I though Bricen was a made up son lol. One night we were all partaking in drinks in the back yard and this young man walks in.  I almost fell off the chair and we laughed all night because I finally met him.  

Mike was always so invested in our kids and many others for wrestling and football.  He was the epitome of a walking community man. I loved his passion for family and competition. 

I know that Mike would want everyone to live life to the fullest and not look back but that is a hard task when you lose a man like him.  There are many things we can learn from turning around and appreciating the past and the family and friends we have lost.  I will choose to draw in his kindness and strength and always remember the man who had a soft smile and fierce love for so many in his tribe. 

Love Always, 

The Gabel's
