He really did not have a chance at life.......Half a heart, numerous G.I. issues, not to mention two open heart surgeries, and exploratory surgery, and another open heart on the way. But Gabe did not stop fighting! Every day he was here with us left us with more love in our hearts than the previous day. He walked around with a perpetual smile on his face. He grinned at the odds and chances and took them head on.
Who could have ever thought a two year old could have had so much impact on every ones life? I am a different person for being his father. I am a different husband because of what my wife and I went through with him. I am a different christian because of the depths of God's loved for my family and my son. I will no longer tell God he can not do something.
I have watched my son fight for two years. Tuesday, the fight ended. I held him in my arms as he left to be with his heavenly father. He went peacefully and painlessly. God wanted him back. Can you blame him?
The world got a little dimmer yesterday. I believe heaven is glowing with the laughter of a child who a has a whole heart, a head full of blond hair, and a mischievous grin on his face!
I miss you already...............

We are so sorry for your loss. Gabe must have been a real trooper. Cherish all the memories and take comfort in knowing he is in perfect health sitting in the lap of his Heavenly Father, and waiting for the day when he will be with you again.
Your family is in our prayers. May God bless you all.
Love, Jeff, Shari, Zach, Jordan, Dustin and Abby Bartlow
Coach Taylor, I just wanted to say my family & I are thinking of you & your family. I truly believe that Gabe's passing is just another reminder from God that we all should live life to fullest & cherish every minute that we have & to let the ones we love know that we love them. Though we only worked together for one year I can recall when Gabe was born & I have thought about him often.
May God Bless, Love Ya
Christy Grayson & family.

Mr. Taylor, I am a member of the Emergency Room team that was with your son the day he passed away. We all have you and your wife in our thoughts, prayers and hearts. Too many time, we build up a barrier to handle what we do on a daily basis. Unfortunately, when it comes to a child, we all have a hard time building up that barrier. It is never easy, but this is the path that has been chosen for us by God. We took turns sitting with your precious son, and all wept when he went to be with his Heavenly Father. Some may find it hard to believe that "we" cry, but I promise you, there was not a dry eye in the Emergency Room. God was given back His angel aptly named Gabriel, only too soon. May God lift you and your family up with His grace and may you find peace within Him. God Bless you all and we will all continue to pray for you.
There is nothing that anyone can say to ease your pain. We love you and we are praying for you and your family. If we can do anything for you,let us know. We want to help, but don't know what to do to be helpful.
Kim, EJ & Nikki Moss
There is nothing that anyone can say to ease your pain. We just want you to know that we love you and we are praying for you and your family. It's hard to think about it without shedding tears, so I cannot image what you are going through. If we can do anything, please let us know, we want to help but don't know what to do to be helpful. I can tell you that all of the kids on your teams, and at school are all upset about Gabe. They may get on your nerves sometimes, but they love you and they love Gabe.
Kim, EJ & Nikki Moss
