Birth 20 Feb 2005 Palmdale, Los Angeles County, California, USA Death 24 May 2013 (aged 8) Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, USA Burial Cremated. Specifically: Gabriel's ashes are with family members Memorial ID 207902976 207902976 View Source

༺✿༻LOVING MEMORY ༺✿༻

Cremated. Gabriel's ashes are with family members. Contreras, Gabriel's uncle — who was called as the prosecution's final witness during its case-in-chief — said the decision to have the boy cremated after his death was made because he did not think anybody else should have to go through seeing the boy "like that." He was not buried and exhumed.

He is not buried in Mexico

Gabriel Daniel Fernandez departed this life on May. 24, 2013 at 13:38 PM, at the tender age of eight years at her home in Palmdale.

Gabriel was born Feb. 20, 2005 at 13:00 PM, in Palmdale, Los Angeles Country to Grandpa.

Murder Victim. Gabriel was tortured and murdered by his mother and her boyfriend.

Survived by his parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Joined in heaven by his great-uncle, Michael Lemos "Mike" Carranza and grandmother, Sandra Lupe (Carranza) Fernandez.

Gabriel Fernandez's short life, brutal murder, and the public trials of his guardians and social workers were chronicled in the Netflix docuseries "Trials of Gabriel Fernandez."

Tributes can be made in his honor at the following locations: (not burial locations)

Gabriel Fernandez Memorial Mural at the intersection of 3rd Street East and Palmdale Boulevard, Palmdale, CA 93550;

Gabriel Fernandez Memorial Tree at 249 E Avenue Q10, Palmdale, CA 93550;

Facebook Page: Gabriel's Justice @Justice4Gabriel; to advocate for positive social and systemic change in the plight of abused children.

Little Gabriel Fernandez

Today there will be silence,

no crying will you hear.

I didn't mean to anger you,

I just wanted you near. 

Today there will be sleep again, 

I won't cry out in vain.

The nights I needed comforting,

were filled with hurt and pain. 

How could someone so big and strong, 

strike out at little me?

I was a gift, your little boy

unwanted now, I see. 

Today there will be love at last,

l on angels wings I'll soar.

Way up high, above the clouds,

through heavens golden doors. 

So, say a prayer for me

for the life I'll never know

I just wish you could have cared for me

for I would have loved you so

{{{Rest in Peace Gabriel}}}
