During his 36 years, he accomplished many things such as being inducted into the H-E-B Truck Driver Hall of Fame in 1987, winning the Spirit of H-E-B Award in 1994, and presenting the Spirit of H-E-B trailer to Charles Butt in 1987. During his free time and after retirement, Gabriel enjoyed traveling the world with his family and friends, volunteering his time at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Gregory, TX, and spending time with his children, and many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Gabriel was preceded in death by his father, Guadalupe, his mother, Lucia, and four brothers.
