Gabino had a good memory, once you told him something he would never forget it. He had completed his Sophomore year at Sayre Public Schools and was looking forward to being a Junior. His favorite subject in school was Math. Gabino will be remembered for his happy personality and a smile that could brighten any ones day, he was the kindest and sweetest person you would ever want to meet. He would talk to anyone, no one was a stranger, and he never saw that people were different, in his eyes we were all the same. Gabino's love for his siblings was amazing, he would always put them first over his wants and needs. He was very protective of his siblings.
