In Memory of Gabe Messam

Gabriel Vincent Lansdowne Messam 05/04/2000 - 24/03/2021

Gabriel was deeply loved by his parents, siblings, relatives, teachers, friends and coworkers.  He loved cars, surfing, music, animals, building things, spicy food and he was a good cook.
He was a positive and cheerful friend, remembered for the good times shared, the fun, the light-heartedness, the laughter, his sense of humor, his kind approach, his beautiful smile and his fashion sense. 
He could be intense and would speak passionately about cars and on issues that were dear to his heart; Justice, racism, personal freedom, integrity.  
His life was full of possibilities that his death has denied. We, his parents and siblings, would like to open this crowd funding to make it possible for meaningful activities to be done in his memory.
Donations in his memory will be given to the following charities: 
Irish Network Against Racism: https://inar.ie/
The Corrymeela Community:  https://www.corrymeela.org/about/who-we-are 
The Surf Project: https://www.thesurfproject.org/ (emphasis on integration and mentoring)
