Really startin to hit home bro. I miss you Lil bro! Watch over our sons and nieces and nephews buddy. Love you brother 🕊🖤🙏🏻
Gabriel Samson Lee Fenton, better known as Gage. He was a loving father, son, brother, and uncle. Forever missed, and memories always cherished. If you're here visiting today, we would love for you to leave a message or photo under the tribute wall.
Who is Gage Fenton? I find myself asking that question over and over in my head. There is no way I can put how incredible he is into words, but I will try.
To me, Gage was unlike any other person I’ve ever came to know. Gage was someone that you noticed when he walked into a room, if you were having a bad day, he would find a way to make you laugh and put a smile on your face. I remember when he told me a quote that said “a wise man once said that if you give a piece of yourself to every person you meet, sooner or later you’ll build an amazing puzzle”. You see, today we are that puzzle, each one of were blessed with a piece of gage that he left to each of us individually. That’s just the kinda guy he is. The kindness he carries within him is just something that can’t be taught.
As I think back of his life in the past, I can remember the time we would stoped the car at a red light for him to talk to an shelterless person on the street who was struggling to find their way in life. He talked with than man for over an hour. You see, as we all know, Gage is someone who would help those struggling and in need of help. Even if it’s just giving crackers or water, advice, or just being there when you didn’t have anyone else.. he always had time, and would always give to the less fortunate. He is the definition of the shirt of your back kinda person, & I mean who truly would stretch the shirt out if it couldn’t fit you, after taking it off his own back.
I speak to you today knowing deep in my heart that he is smiling down on us. Everyone here today has came to celebrate the life of a - one of a kind - human being. We each have a story of our own about who gage fenton is to us. I hope today we can all share the stories and happy times that Gage has blessed us with.
Even though Gage has left us on this world, doesn’t mean his dreams, goals, and accomplishments have, including all of the people he had dedicated his life to help. Gage was a man of many dreams, in fact, he would always have a new idea or a new plan that in some way would benefit someone else. One of the dreams Gage talked about was being able to set up a foundation to help men struggling with mental health issues, that foundation would help provide resources for men who suffered from DV, custody, and all the way through to substance abuse. I remember saying to him that starting a foundation like that might not be financially beneficial, well, Gage didn’t care about financial gain at all, he said to me and I quote “even if I’m able to help just one person, that is enough for me”.
I want everyone to take a look around the room. Gage loved each and every one of you. If he were standing here now I know he would want to see a smile on everyone’s face even though it’s painful to know that the world has lost someone so precious, it really is hard to imagine life without him. But if there was one thing I’ve learned from a Gage in the many years I’ve know him is to always keep my head up, communicate if I’m upset, stay motivated, keep friends close & enemies closer, and to always cherish the time spent with family and friends. I’m just one small piece of the amazing puzzle he built.
So, in closing. I want to ask you, who is Gage Fenton to you?

Another day goes by that doesn’t feel real to me. I love you man. You know, I wouldn’t be the man I am today without you. You’ve change and impacted so many life’s with your kindness and generosity. I hope to be half the man that you became. You’re family, your friends, will carry on the dream you had. Save a spot for me on the other side brother. And you know, trying to find non goofy/shirtless picture of us is not that easy. But, that’s just who we were. I’m lucky to have called you friend.

A piece of me will always be with you and a piece of you will always be with me. I love you endlessly

I don't have many words.. most people wouldn't even know that I knew Gage, but I still remember chasing him around his house with his sisters because girls were 'icky' 🤣🤣🤣 we weren't close, I won't try to claim that, the last time we spoke was right before I left Colorado, but that doesn't stop it from hurting. I've watched this man grow.. from a scrawny little boy, to a trouble making teenager, to a dedicated life changer. I was so proud of him when i found out what he had been doing with his life. I know we all were. My heart goes out to the family, noone should have to lose a child, or a sibling for that matter. We love and miss you man ❤❤ and Hannah I love you guys! I wish I could be there tomorrow 😢

To our son: You don’t know it now but this will be the one of the hardest things you over come in life but Momma is here and Daddy is always with you in your heart. Your daddy was a good man. When he walked into a room he made sure to speak to everyone and had a smile on his face. Your overly happy personality definitely comes from him and if you ever wonder where your big head came from that’s him too. He always strived to be better than he was the day before no matter what life threw at him. He loved you with every piece of his heart and promised to become a great man for you. No matter his distance he still made sure he knew what was going on with you. His love is never wavering and you are his biggest pride. He would show you off to any one who would let him. I pray that you have the same drive for greatness that he did and that you never second what life has to offer. To you: I want you to know that we got him. We will make sure that he knows who you are as if he got a lifetime with you. We will protect him and we will love him till the ends of the earth. I will always be there to catch him when he falls. I know you will be his guardian angel protecting him through life and now you will never miss a birthday, a ball game, or any of his firsts because you will be there with him. I promise to raise our boy to be a man and show him the right ways in life. I promise to give him double the hugs, double the kisses, and cuddles that last a little longer. We love you Gage❤️

This is absolutely the hardest post for me. It has taken me quite a few days to get my thoughts together. On August 2nd, My bonus son, Gage Fenton, passed away very unexpectedly...only 26 years old.. My heart is broken, and I have no words to describe this feeling. I cant imagine not having anymore of our very long talks about life or anything on his mind he wanted to talk about..I cant imagine no more hugs when he walks thru the door...i cant imagine not ever seeing him again💔Gage was also a bonus brother to Lacey Elise Tuorto, Gavin Tuorto , and Toniann Marie Although everyone lived in a different state there was never a doubt they were family and loved each other as family does. They will miss him very much. My heart goes out to my husband, Steve Fenton, and the ENTIRE family. Not a day will go by that I dont think of you, Gage. I know you will be watching over your family always. I LOVE YOU

let me tell you he was stronger then a bull and tough as a bullet. NOONE could stop him but the only person that would save him as always was God. He may not take someone when we want but when they may need to be, for reason we may never know why. I pray that for his family and that he himself can find peace in all this chaos. I pray that we all get our lives together and live to be the best we can be and help the next person that may be struggling in WHATEVER way that may be, but to make sure we give them the chance to live the life Gage and every other person that god takes from us sooner then we’d like. If ANYONE wants to talk I’m here, if you need a friend, I’m here, if you want to get coffee or something I’m here. I’m here for anyone that needs it and feels like they may have no one. Usually these don’t “phase me or it’s just another tragedy” but this one here hits home for someone I felt to me my brother and who touched me forever on in my life and after. I hope to be able to see him again just like we never missed a beat and where we left off being best friends, but more so brothers. I will keep anyone and everyone who wants any updates on the situation and as per any requests Gage, Hannah and the family asks of me. Before you go to bed or at any point today I just ask you to say a prayer, whether long or short for this family in this difficult time it is much needed.

“Damn Gage”… I’m sure if you knew him you’ve said that a time or two.. I know I’ve been saying it since the day I met him. And he’s still got me saying it.. There aren’t many people that you will come by that would leave an impact like he did. And that’s a FACT. For the rest of my life, I’ll be able to thank him for starting my own business. He was the best motivator man. Without him boosting me & pushing me like only Gage could, I would have never had the confidence to do it. He made me laugh, he made my kids laugh, he made everybody laugh.. but he loved deep. Love you man. Miss you forever.

Today I’m thankful. I spent months after losing my little brother on autopilot, and my mind only responding to negative emotions. Carrying a conversation with people has felt very awkward. I haven’t been able to remember anything. I’ve felt like a stranger to my very own self. I know I’ve been “weird”, I’ve felt very weird. Maybe our mind knows we can’t handle the reality of such a loss at once and we’re in this fog to save our sanity and help find the way to the new person we will become from this. Today is the first time I’ve felt a positive emotion ab Gage since August 2nd. I woke up early this morning, watching the sun come up on the porch and listening to the birds. They made me think of spending the summer in Texas with Gage and our grandparents and waking up early with them so we didn’t miss the birds and drink hot tea (we poured it out when grandma wasn’t looking 🤢) II sat listening to them in the quiet this morning and reminisced on the memories of our childhood. For the first time, I felt all the love i have for my brother without the immediate sting of his loss. I’m thankful today for happy memories and little moments of peace. For singing birds and for every day of the 26 years I got to spend with him. Never take a single day granted. I miss you bud.

In another time, in a happier place. I’ll find you again. ❤️ I loved this silly smile so much. The last time Gage was home to visit I was working, so we had lunch together. The last day, we had Sarah’s in the city and he came back to the office with me until time for his tattoo appointment. If you know gage, then you know it took him 15 minutes to get things together and get out my car and id been inside waiting for him to bring my tea to me, like literally for forever. I called to tell him he was taking so long that I was nearing death from dehydration, he laughed his goofy giggle laugh and began explaining to me how much hard work it took to be such a handsome man. I heard him coming in the back door & looked up from my desk to him strolling down the hall, smiling this same silly smile with my straw between his lips sucking my sweet tea dry bc he’s leaving tomorrow and “them folks out in Cali don’t make it right” So often now, I look up from my desk, down that same empty hall and my mind brings me back to that moment and he’s laughing his goofy laugh and he’s smiling this same smile.. the craziest part is that the entire memory seemed so insignificant in the moment, and now everything ab it is so special

Today makes two months without you.. Still seems so unreal most days. If you knew me and Gage, you knew he was my baby & how bad I got on his nerves for “being in his business” but obviously that never stopped me. We fought like cats and dogs, but we loved so deeply. I miss the 45 minute phone calls where he was the only one who got to speak the whole time & I’d give anything to arrive home with a headache from trying to keep up with his story the whole ride.. He was brutally honest with me, but always gave me the most honest advice he had, whether it was what I wanted to hear or not. Never thought I’d miss that. He was the most amazing uncle & sweetest brother to me and my girls. My heart will always long to hear your voice out loud. I’ll be waiting for the day I see you again, & you give me the biggest forehead kiss of my life. I miss you so bad my boy. You will live on in me ❤️
