This is Gabriel John Miller's Memorial Website... Gabe was born in Orlando, Florida on April 22, 1981, and moved to Heaven from his apartment in Knoxville, TN on August 14, 2006 at the age of 25 years young... We know that Gabriel loved Jesus... and we believe that he is in a better place now... no longer tormented by hurts and addictions... but we still miss him so very much... In his Bible were two verses, recently written down, Ezra 9:9 & Colossians 2:13... They talk about a wonderful Lord, caring about and loving His people, in spite of their bondage and sin... Gabriel Loved and Appreciated the Lord...

Gabriel is pictured in this Methadone Kills Awareness youtube...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=34fNgcYxAJc  at minute 4:07... Also a portion of what I wrote, "well, he quickly found out that drugs can take hold, and addiction sneaks up real fast, And the "good person inside" just couldn't win the battle.

   Gabriel was an Artistic and Beautiful person, he Loved God, and he loved people...  We want this website to reflect our love and appreciation for him...

        

Gabriel was a really Passionate person... Whatever he did, he did with gusto... He was sensitive, affectionate and loving... He cared about everyone, and took everyone's problems to heart... He was just beautiful... Oh, he could make me mad... but he could also bless my socks off with tenderness and compassion... He was full of enthusiasm and ideas... his mind never stopped... songs, melodies, and deep thoughts... I will miss Gabriel every day and every hour, and will continue to, until I meet him again in the afterlife... He has left a giant hole in my heart... I know that, as someone said, Jesus can build a bridge over the hole... but the hole will always be there... All I can do now is to be thankful for the 25 years that I got to be Gabriel's Mom... and to let his memory live on... inside of me...

   Another BIG message of Gabriel’s… which I’m sure by now he knows is absolute TRUTH… IS that we are the apples of God’s eye… He loves us so much… He created us for fellowship and companionship… He created us in His image, which means that we are spirit beings… we have a soul, which is our mind , intellect, and emotions… and we live in these bodies… but we are spirit beings… And just as our bodies need blood to carry life, (oxygen, nutrition, and water) and to carry away impurities, (to the liver and out)… Our spirit needs blood, spiritual blood, to carry away impurities, and fill us with life too… And since Jesus was born on earth, human, but was also the Son of God… His perfect, sinless, and loving blood, which was SHED for us, can cleanse us and fill us with Life for Eternity…. The Bible says that we don’t have to be perfect, or flawless… we just need to accept the beautiful gift that God sent us, forgiveness and life... through the death and resurrection of His only Son, Jesus… Gabriel knew Jesus… and even though Gabe had some problems on this earth, He knew his maker… and He loved God, and he appreciated what Jesus did for him… The Bible says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you shall be saved…” It says to believe in your heart and confess with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and you shall be saved… I know Gabriel wants you to have God’s life in your spirit… so you can live eternally, when your ole body dies…   http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=03e32ba9913c798f3859

  If you need Jesus to come to your rescue and help you fight off the distractions, temptations, and harmful influences in your life all you have to do is ask for His help. Get down on your knees and pray to God. Ask Him to forgive you for your sins, tell Him that you believe that He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die for you, so you could spend eternity in relationship with Him.  Gabriel drew this picture, a few years before he moved to Heaven...

 

Here is a poem I found in an old purse... Written by Gabriel... in his handwriting....  I found this in November 2008

In case you can't read his handwriting, :-)  Here is what it says...

As I put myself down to sleep,

I pray the Lord remember me,

If Jesus came in flesh and as a man,

Then maybe he would understand...

I'm sure He had pain and He had strife,

He knew His fate to give His life,

He could have no Father, not this way,

but He took the beatings anyway...

   Check out the song called "Our Thoughts", written, performed, and produced by Ben, Gabe's little brother, who really misses Gabe a lot... You can talk to Ben at benvocation@hotmail.com Ben is living in Dallas, playing in the band, Rafael http://myspace.com/remingtonrafael  You can see a music video on the myspace page... Ben is on drums...  Ben's myspace page  http://myspace.com/classicstudiotx   

Benjamin and Gabriel were best buddies ever since the day that Ben, Gabriel's "Little Cheekie Boy" was born... 
                               Gabriel and Ben played music together, with our family band, the Newtune Missions... and then on their own when Gabriel was 14, playing guitar... and Benjy was 11, playing drums... They played together in several different bands, for years... Ben eventually switched to the guitar, and Gabriel to bass... but they were still buddies...  And they made beautiful music together, well it was LOUD, but beautiful... Endeavour, Minute 61, the Invocation, etc.  Ben said that making music isn't the same without his big brother, Gabriel...  But I know that he will always make beautiful music, and that Gabey will be coaching him on, from the great beyond...  :-)  

               
Drugs messed up Ben's life too... Because he lost his big brother and best friend...
