Gabriel Dickens Obituary (2002 - 2025)

With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Gabriel Miguel Ruben Dickens, a remarkable young man, who left us far too soon on May 26, 2025. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on December 2, 2002, Gabriel had a heart that radiated warmth and kindness, a spirit that soared with resilience, and a soul that embodied love and compassion. Despite his tender years, Gabriel found his purpose and shared it with the world. Gabriel was a beacon of light in the lives of those who knew him. He resided in Dover, Delaware, where he enriched the lives of his community. Gabriel was a friend, a helper, and a source of comfort to many. Despite the weight of this loss, we find comfort in the memories of Gabriel's infectious laughter, unyielding optimism, and the countless acts of kindness he bestowed upon others. He leaves behind a host of family members and friends who loved him unconditionally. We find solace in knowing that Gabriel has been reunited with the many family members who have preceded him in death. We invite those who knew Gabriel to share their memories, stories, and photographs on his memorial page. In these stories, his spirit continues to live, laugh, and love. Let us remember Gabriel not just for his departure but for the extraordinary life he lived, the people he touched, and the love he spread. As we navigate through this time of loss, let us remember the Irish proverb, “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.”
