Gabriel O. Soto entered eternal rest on June 20, 2025, at the age of 42. Born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, he was the youngest of three sons born to the late José and Gloria Soto. Gabriel was proud of his Puerto Rican heritage and carried it with pride throughout his life.

He was kind, caring, and known for his big heart. Though he never married or had children, Gabriel was surrounded by family and friends who filled his life with love, laughter, and companionship. He liked joking around, spending time with others, listening to rap music, and strolling through flea markets. He also enjoyed watching UFC and boxing, and was a loyal fan of the San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Cowboys.

He appreciated the simple things in life and found joy in just being with the people he loved. He was a true animal lover who always had a pet by his side and treated them like family.

Though we wish we had more time, we are forever grateful for the years we shared. Gabriel's love, laughter, and loyalty will live on in the stories we tell, the memories we cherish, and the impact he made on all of us.

He is survived by his brothers Daniel Soto (Layla) and Joe Jr. Soto (Sandra); his nephew, Dominique Soto; his niece, Bianca Soto; and many extended family and lifelong friends.
