Gabriel Greaves, 41 years of age, was unexpectedly taken from this earth in a tragic accident, July 27, 2018.

As a valuable member of his community he served with the local Fire department as their vehicle mechanic, working tirelessly keeping the personnel's equipment in first class running condition. He also was honored to be a volunteer with the Camano Island Fire Department.

Along with his profession he was an avid outdoorsman, camper, and hiker. With an adventurous spirit he and his buddies experienced many great times together.  As a gentle, gracious fun loving man he was devoted to God, his heavenly Father and a member of St. Cecilia Catholic Church, Stanwood.  He never spoke ill of any person.
