Gabriel Vincent Shoaff
"There's no tragedy in life like the death of a child", said former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower
My name is Gabriel Vincent. 💙
I loved the color orange, fruity baby food, laughing, and spending time with my great-grandparents. I had a happy little spirit and a smile that could light up a room. In my six short months, I became the center of my family’s world and filled our lives with a love that has never gone away.
During my life, I was loved by my mom, Emily Carns, and my dad, Marc Shoaff. I was also deeply loved by my grandparents, Irene Bryant Tillery, Joe Nickerson, Kristi Miller, and Stephen Shoaff, and by my aunt Sierra Anderson and my uncles, Lane and Justin Shoaff.
Although some of my family came into our lives after I passed away, they are still part of the family I helped create through the love I left behind. My mom married Cody Carns, and my dad married Rebecca Shoaff. My family grew to include my siblings Adian and Zoey Shoaff, and Cleobella and Connor Carns. I gained an uncle, Colby Anderson, and an uncle-in-law, Logan, who married my Uncle Lane.
I now also have three cousins: Kingston, Serenity, and Princeton Anderson. They came into the world after me, but they are part of the family that continues to carry my memory forward.
I may have only been here for six months, but I was here long enough to be deeply loved, to make everyone laugh, and to leave a permanent place in my family. Forever the little boy who was at the center of our family’s hearts. 🧡🕊️
