Survived by (father) Perry W Burrow Sr, (brother) Perry W Burrow Jr, (sister) Andrea L Burrow/ Hale, (sister) Rebecca L Burrow, (nephew) Devin Hale, (nephew) Perry W Burrow III, (nephew) Donavan J.M. Burrow, (niece) Breeann Hale, (niece) Samantha Delacruz, (nephew) Tristan A Burrow, and (niece) Grace Delacruz. Those who spent time with Gabriel understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. This past year was tough for him, because he lost our mother Sherry L Burrow last year and never felt the same after that loss. I almost never knew Gabriel to be at a loss for words however at her funeral he could not say a word because of his profound sense of loss due to the great woman she was to him, and all of us. Gabriel had a huge heart and cared about his extended family and friends as well, he would often call me and tell me about an issue with his father, sister, cousin, nephew, niece, aunt, uncle, friend, or coworker and ask me to pray with him to spread God's spirit over the troubled people in our lives. I will never feel like I had enough time with my little brother he always had me feeling so many emotions in his presence. I could say so many things about my time with him, but the most important thing was when I really needed someone especially when my kids were younger, he was there and no matter what flaws he had, like myself a flawed man, he would be there for me and my family and that meant a lot to me back then when times were the toughest. He was a personal soul, what I mean by that is he would make his time with you feel personal and genuine, he cared so much, and you could feel it. I know he is with my mother, but I will miss him so much. I tried to treat him the best way I knew how and sometimes I don't think he knew how much I wanted for him in life, if that meant he would be angry with me if it would have saved him for a little longer, I would have made him very angry with me if it would have helped him. When he was in his hard times, I was there for him though, and even if others couldn't help him, and told me I should let him be, I helped him anyway he had that influence on me to help him like he did for me. I can't explain it, but he lived a different life than most, he bucked the system and didn't always live by the rules, but most days it didn't matter because he wanted to live his way and even if I didn't approve, he loved me anyway! That's just how he was, living life his way, by his rules, on his terms, but he still loved you and was there when you needed him. So, for that I love you little brother and can't wait to spend more time with you in heaven.

Your Brother,
Perry Burrow Jr.
