With profound sorrow, we announce the heartbreaking passing of Gabriel Milan, a beloved son, cherished family member, loyal friend, and proud member of the United States Air Force. Gabriel tragically lost his life in a car accident on Thursday, November 20, 2025, at just 20 years old. His passing has left his family and all who loved him devastated by the loss of a young man whose compassion, determination, and bright spirit made him unforgettable.
Gabriel was known for his strong sense of duty and unwavering commitment to service. Choosing to join the United States Air Force was not simply a career decision—it was a reflection of his character. He believed deeply in protecting others, honoring his country, and pushing himself toward excellence. In every aspect of his training and service, he demonstrated integrity, courage, and respect for those around him. Fellow servicemembers remember him as dedicated, hardworking, and uplifting—a young man whose presence strengthened their team and whose kindness left a lasting impression.
To his family, Gabriel was a source of immense pride, joy, and love. A devoted son and one of four boys, he held a special place in his mother’s heart. Her words—“Life is short… My son Gabriel passed away November 20th. One is now my angel.”—reflect the immeasurable grief of losing a child, as well as the deep faith that now carries his family through this unimaginable time. Gabriel’s loved ones describe him as thoughtful and resilient, someone who embraced life fully and cared deeply for those close to him. The bond he shared with his family was unbreakable, and his memory will forever remain a guiding light in their lives.
As the family navigates this profound loss, they encourage others to hold their loved ones close and cherish every moment. Gabriel’s passing is a painful reminder of how fragile life can be, yet also a testament to how impactful one young life can truly be.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Gabriel’s mother, his brothers, his extended family, and all who had the privilege of knowing him. May they find comfort in their cherished memories, in each other, and in knowing that Gabriel lived with purpose, honor, and love.
May this brave young airman rest peacefully, and may his spirit soar as the angel his family now knows him to be.
