Help Support the Escandon Family

Gabriel always encouraged us to seize the moment and embrace life's adventures. And to those who knew Gabriel and his larger than life personality, his spirit remains, watching over his parents, his brothers, and his extended family. On the pitch, he will forever be the 12th man, supporting and encouraging his teammates. In the classroom, amongst his peers and with family, he had the power to illuminate the darkest corners of a room. He understood the meaning of brotherhood. His love of life was felt in everything did.

This recent tragedy has cut short not only his life but also that of one of his dearest friends. It has severely altered the lives of two other friends and teammates, whom he considered brothers. To honor and continue his legacy, his family would like to establish a scholarship fund in his memory. They ask that the community watches over his young brothers, by helping them create and share experiences that meant something to him, as well as create new memories together, in his spirit.

By doing so, his family will be able to celebrate Gabe's zest for life, inspiring one another to create precious memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it's a gift card to an indoor trampoline, arcade, driving range, movie theater, or a meal at his favorite spots like Chick-fil-A or Panda Express, every gift card will be cherished and used joyfully to create meaningful memories with family and friends.

Lastly, Gabriel loved Esteban, Christian, and Oliver. Alex was a new friend but welcomed in to their brotherhood. He would have done everything in his power to support them and their families in this time of need. So his family asks that the community continues to support ALL of the families and victims as they also navigate this tragedy.
