GABRIELE, JOHN PAUL – It is with great sadness that we announce John’s passing on Saturday, July 31, 2021 in his 53rd year at Niagara Health St. Catharines Site, due to complication from diabetes and kidney failure. A loving husband to Tracy (née Visser), together for 24 years. A wonderful dad to Rebecca and Tara (Lee Saldat). Cherished son of Angelo and Angiolina Gabriele and son-in-law to Bonnie (the late Hotzen) Visser. Loving Grandson to Maria (the late Domenico) Ricciuto and the late Giovanni (Vincenza) Gabriele. Big brother to Robert (Richelle) and Paul (Krista) and brother -in-law to Sherri (Robert) Skrumeda. Much loved uncle to Amanda (Jake), Madeline, Brooklyn, Juliana, Angelo, Travis, Bradley and Kimmy.
