Reece Gabriel ~ his name means “enthusiastic messenger,” and that he has always been.

He came into this world a gentle soul, carrying a depth that could be felt long before it was understood. From his earliest days, Reece moved through life with sensitivity, curiosity, and a heart open to connection. He loved fully. He laughed deeply. He showed up as his authentic self, even when that required great courage.

Reece loved to connect with those he cherished. He danced ecstatically on the dance floor, in the living room, at the beach and through life itself. He explored polarity and duality with a fierce honesty, living the full spectrum of human experience to the extent humanity would allow. He was never interested in surface living; he wanted truth, depth, meaning, and love.

He and his sister have been my greatest inspirations and teachers. Through Reece, I have learned about compassion, resilience, authenticity, and the power of voicing one’s truth. I am eternally grateful for his heart, his passion for life and love, and his willingness to stand in his light.

Reece is now one of our brave ancestors who went ahead to pave a path to the sanctuary. Though his physical presence is no longer here, his message continues. From this side of the veil and beyond it, Reece remains an enthusiastic messenger, reminding us to live fully, love deeply, speak honestly, and dance without reservation.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever part of us.
