Debra and Steve, I remember the first time you guys came to our church. At the time I had no idea we were connected not only as part of the church family but that my daughter-in-law is Steve’s niece. Gabe would have been around 3-4 years old and became a part of my Sunday School class that day. So, I always had a soft spot in my heart for him, as I did for all my kiddos. Just a little more for those whose first experience in our church was entrusted to my class. I took that seriously and so enjoyed teaching the littles, including Gabe. He grew (way too fast) into a fine young man. I always felt he was enjoying the life God put in front of him. You were blessed to find a precious little guy like Gabe to welcome into your home and hearts. And, thanks to you, he was blessed to find the special parents God had picked out for him. I’m so glad you lovingly guided him to know and accept Jesus into his heart and life, and that he used that life to share Him with others. You can be so very proud of him.
There are no words that can adequately comfort you at this time. All of our hearts are hurting, along with yours. Life won’t be the same without Gabe. I can’t even begin to understand how hard this is for you. All I can say is I’m so very, very sorry for your loss. I’m sure you know that not only was Gabe loved by many, but that you are as well. Prayers for you, your family, and your friends that you will know God’s unconditional and never-ending love for you. May He gather you into His arms and pour out the comfort and blessings you need to sustain you during this difficult time and the days ahead. I hope you will know that we are all here for you. Please, reach out for help, comfort or anything else you need at any time. Love to you all.
My heart and prayers go to you. Gabe was an amazing young man in so many ways. I can’t say I fully understand but God is in control no matter what may His peace and comfort be with you in this very hard time.
Debra,
We are so sorry for your loss and are thinking of you and your family.

I’ve know Gabe since I was in elementary school. He was the sweetest and most kind hearted person growing up. One memory I had of gabe was in the first grade. To prepare for second grade, our teacher told us to pick any book that we wanted to do a book report. Everyone chose small picture books, but Gabe did not. Gabe chose to cover the Bible for his first grade book report. I will never forget the love he had in his heart for others. God bless him and his family.
Our hearts ache for you as you grieve the loss of your precious son. We pray for peace and comfort that only our Heavenly Father can give. May you feel his loving arms around you. We love you and your family.
Gabe Deibold will be missed. I met Gabe through the Blue Springs Baseball Association. He was a member of the first team I ever got to coach.
My heart truly goes out to this family because I know how much Mr. and Mrs. Deibold loved this young man. I always said every time I seen him,”this is one of the good one’s Lord.” He brought a smile to everyone’s face on the team. He was a hard worker that put a lot of effort into improving his game as much as improving himself.
Mine and my wife’s heart sank when we heard the news. I’m truly going to miss this young man. I’m going to miss all the post of his trips and successes in life that Mrs. Debra post. I always loved looking at all the wonderful things he was doing.
I love you Gabe Deibold, I’m gonna miss you and yes sir you will always be my special Southside Banger for life. Until we meet again on the other side, rest in peace my friend. Rest in peace!
Our heart and prayers go out to the Deibold family. I pray the Lord embraces you in his arms and provides comfort to your spirit in this time of grieving. We’re so sorry for your loss.
Debra and Steve, my sincere condolences go out to you. I remember how happy you were to bring Gabe home, may he rest in peace. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Debra and Steve, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. There are no words to express my sorrow and sympathy for all of you. I’m so thankful that God brought Gabe to you and that you’ve had these wonderful years to love and cherish him. May God give you the peace and strength to heal from this loss. He will forever live in your hearts and memories.
Debra, my heart aches for you and all of your family. May God bless you with strength to endure this pain.
Steve and Debbie
My heart goes out to you . Sending prayers and hugs to you and your family. Love
Phyllys and John Mahoney
I can’t even begin to express the way that your death is affecting me, I love you and it’s just so hard to morn you. There’s no on in this world that could ever compare to you! 🙌❤ I love you so much and I know I will see you again. You are my absolute everything and I miss you like crazy. Losing someone like you is so hard. Be kind and gentle with yourself. Take your time and know that you have my full support. He has told me so many stories about all the trips he went on with both of you. He loved you so much and im so sorry for your loss. Gabe was truly extraordinary. So was our friendship and love. Between the two of us, he was always the stronger one. His life could be all kinds of chaos, but he never wore it on his face, he would put his focus towards the brighter side of things and taught me to do the same. And even when he was really tired, he made sure he treated others as though they were precious too. There are times in life when you could really use an itsy-bitsy push from a loved one who sees in you what you cannot see for yourself. From someone who believes you can even if it seem impossible. For as long as we had been friends and the time we were dating, Gabe had given me the pushes. With him gone, I am not sure how I will or even if I will, be able to go on the way I used to. By the way, this is where he would have given me another push.
Great grief is the price of great love. My sincere condolences. ♥️
So sorry for your loss, prayers and another candle 🕯️ will be lit for you and your family.
Debra and Steve,
There are no words. My heart breaks for the two of you and your family! So very sorry to hear of Gabe’s passing. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that so many are lifting you and your family up in prayer as you make your way through this very difficult time. Love you. Hugs!!
Stephen and Debra. We are praying for God’s comfort and peace. We loved Gabe. He always was a sweet friendly young man.
