We want to thank everyone for the support we have received during this difficult time. Many of Gabe's friends have reached out to us and it has been comforting to know how respected and well-loved he was by all. We will be posting updates to this website, Gabe's Facebook page and the Facebook/Instagram pages of family members as we establish dates for a memorial service. We have made the decision to delay services until his sister Carla can join us from the Philippines. The Visa renewal process and current COVID-19 restrictions will unfortunately push this back until sometime in July. We will update everyone as soon as a date is available. We are also working to avoid any attendance limitations related to COVID-19 and will arrange for an outdoor venue so all who wish to attend will be able to do so. Gabe's friends have also established two Go Fund Me pages for those wishing to make a donation. Please note they are using the name Gabriel Tallada because that is what he used for his FaceBook page. The link for one of them is https://gofund.me/a13cb765 or you can reach by going to www.gofundme.com and searching for Gabriel Tallada. Our thanks again to all of the wonderful family and friends who have comforted us in our time of grief. We will do our best to keep everyone informed as we are able to finalize plans.

These are almost all of our memories currently saved on my phone. I love you, Kuya Gabe. I always will. Love, Ate Carl

You will always be one of my brother from another mother and a inspiration here in the philippines pre

You are loved and valued….we will sorely miss you 🤍

I finally have the emotional energy to write this. I don’t know how I can most eloquently describe how amazing of a person you are. You were a teacher, a friend, and a brother to me; and you were so much more! We’ve been through it all, thick and thin. You were there during my first girl friend, we drove to work together when we worked at Denny’s. You were there during my first heartbreak, I cried around you, and I never cried around people. We both had spectacular dreams for us and our family that seemed intangible, but we grasped for the stars in hopes we could grab on to the moon. We laughed, we gave up on our dreams and sometimes ourselves. You were there in my greatest depression and lowest point of my being. Life threw so many obstacles at me, and god granted me a brother, and that bond mended and formed me into the kinder and understanding person. We were kids when we met, and we had so many adventures. We saw so many sights and adventures. We became young adults and our friendship was tested by the reality of being adults. The bond was so strong it would never break. The last two years, my ability to keep social relationships was hardened, I felt stuck, lost, and felt no hope. In my darkest days, you were a ray of light that kept me motivated to see your success, and gave me the courage to keep enduring my problems. Even if we didn’t talk for weeks, or months, we could always hit each other up and hang out. We spent more time the last couple weeks before you passed than we had in a while. There is so much I can say. You had such a great story about your upbringing in the Philippines, and the start of your chapter in the United States. You used to say you hated it here, but you saw the blessing and opportunity you had here, and you were grateful. You had the skill, the passion, and the drive to become a pro baller or a decorated college graduate from San Diego. You were about to move soon because you decided that going to school was the right decis

Dear Gabe, Gone too soon. I am sincerely devasted by the news of your passing. I have known you since we you were born. You were such a happy child and later in life when growing up in the USA, we spend lots of great times together as a family. This photo is from our last visit to California. You were so full of energy. You wanted to enjoy life. Explore life. I am sure you loved the opportunities life in the USA gave you, but I also know you never lost your Filipino roots which is truly admirable. I am sure your Ate Jhing was surprised and sad to see you again, but she will take care of you in heaven. I know how much she loved you. My sincere condolences to the Tallada Lumabao Nelson family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during these difficult times. Rest in peace Gabe. Love, Lars

SAVE THE DATE - July 24th. We are finalizing arrangements for a Memorial Service/Celebration of life to be held on Saturday, July 24th. We expect to finalize the locations this week, but it will be in the Fremont area. We appreciate your patience and understanding and will announce the location and other details as soon as plans are confirmed.

Thank you Ian :pray::skin-tone-3:
