Anthony Michael Gabriel was granted his angel wings Feb. 17, 2016. Anthony passed away peacefully at St. Rose Hospital Siena in Henderson, surrounded by family and friends. Anthony was 22 years old and a native Nevadan. Anthony was born July 30, 1993, in Las Vegas, the fourth child and second son of Janet and Larry Gabriel. Anthony was an avid lover of soccer. He started playing soccer at five years old, playing two years for Coronado High School. He was a licensed referee for Sagebrush Soccer League. He also loved hiking, camping and hot spring trips with his Trader Joe friends with an occasional overnight adventure. He enjoyed music, sleeping late, playing his guitar, countless hours reading, but his biggest love was playing x-box with his friend, Drew, and others for days and days and nights.

Anthony will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. He was the kind of young man that anyone would be proud to call son, grandson and friend. With Anthony's passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated. Although we will miss him every day, especially his winning smile, his fantastic wit and the ability to engage and forge a relationship with anyone. He had the potential to be anything from a captivating politician to astounding philosopher. His thought process was beyond his chronological years. He will forever remain in our hearts. Through his teachings about life, we were able to create wonderful memories and it has been a privilege to be his parents. Anthony graduated from Coronado High School in 2012. He was a solid student both at UNR and UNLV.

Anthony is survived by his loving parents, Janet and Larry Gabriel; brother, Larry J. Gabriel; sister, Ashley Gabriel; niece, Dulcinea Alcantara; great-grandmother, Helen Seitzinger of Beech Mountain, Pa.; and his Godparents, Pam and Michael Fecchino.
