Robert “Bob” Earl Gabrielson
Robert “Bob” Earl Gabrielson, loving husband, father and grandpa, age 63, a resident of Braymer, Missouri, passed away on Friday, January 27, 2023. He was born the son of Earl and Margie (Waugh) Gabrielson on January 24, 1960 in Crosby, North Dakota. He was married to Sandra “Debbie” Duran on February 13, 1981.
He was a former resident of Loveland, Colorado for 37 years, moving to Braymer in 2019. He was an owner/operator of businesses for over 40 years, including Berthoud Fair Deal Autos and Crossroads U Store It in Loveland, Colorado. He loved his family fiercely, especially his grandkids. He loved to go watch them play baseball, football and cheer. He was at every game and both sides of the stands knew who his grandkids were as he was the loudest supporter there. He loved to fish and when he caught one he would put them in his mouth and hold them by his teeth. He even encouraged his grandson, Michael to do a few times. He loved taking trips, riding his motorcycle and making memories with family and friends. He loved having fun and would help anyone he could without question. No matter where he was, he always tell you he’d “be there in 5 minutes”. He was a good guy to anyone and everyone, and willing to help or give advice to anyone who needed or asked for it.
