Gabriel, "Gabby" White passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side on October 3rd after battling cancer. He was 78 years old. Gabby was born in Albert Lea on December 28, 1936 and has been a lifelong resident.
Gabby will be remembered as a devout Christian, a patriot and a dedicated family man. He loved nothing more than watching his children and grandchildren play various sports and loved taking them hunting and fishing.
Gabby joined the Marine Corp at age 17 and finished his distinguished military career with the National Guard, totaling 28 years of service to his beloved country.
More than anything, Gabby loved having his good friends and family at his home with Mary, enjoying cooking good food, having a few cold beers and a lot of laughs! He lived life to the fullest with no regrets and inspired everyone around him to do the same. He will be missed greatly!
