Help support Sian and the boys as they navigate this unimaginable loss
Auckland
Gabriel was a devoted family man — a proud dad to Luca and Remi, and a loving partner to Sian. He was deeply loved by all of those around him, including his loyal dog Bruno. Gabriel was the kind of person who would drop everything to help someone in need — dependable, generous, and full of heart.
He had a true passion for life and the outdoors, whether it was diving, surfing, travelling, or making memories at Karioitahi Beach. He loved good food, but loved it even more when shared with good company.
Known for his sharp wit and humour, Gabriel had an incredible ability to tell the most ridiculous stories with a completely straight face — and somehow make you believe every word, even when you knew it couldn’t be. He brought laughter, smiles, eye rolls and love wherever he went.
In honour of Gabriel, we also want to encourage open conversations around mental health. Please never feel alone — reach out when you need support, check in on your mates, and know that it’s always okay to ask for help.
This page has been set up to honour his memory and support his beloved family as they navigate this difficult time.
Sian is my best friend and I am doing what I can to try and support her during this time
