Gabrielle Nicole Canales, known to family and friends as "Gabbie", 29, gained her angel wings June 22, 2023. She was born on October 31, 1993 to Mary Katherine Martinez of Bay City Texas.

Gabbie was born on Halloween, that holiday describes her personality perfectly. Her smile would light up a room and her laughter was loud and contagious.

She was selfless, always giving of herself so someone else didn't have to go without. She was a lover of animals, especially tiny ones. She always gave everyone a nickname sometimes they were crazy, but we wouldn't expect anything less. Her sense of style was edgy, if it was cheetah, purple, black, or flamboyant she loved it! Makeup was always on point. A winged liner that was always perfect and her red hair was the right amount of pop.

Once Gabbie became a mom, she found love, passion, and purpose in Landon. She would squeeze and kiss him soo hard; and the way she looked at him needed no words. Her love for him was transcendent and timeless as Gabbie will be to all of us.

Survivors include her mother Mary Katherine Martinez (Kevin Watson); grandparents Lucy Lozano, Paul Woodward and Ramiro E. Martinez, Sr. (Barbara); her son Landon Michael Calk along with his father Garrett Calk and his grandparents April and Toby Calk; sister Cassandra Canales (Jesse Aguilar, Jr.); brother Michael Canales (Mallory Heimsath); nephews Jaycen and Lucas Aguilar, and nieces Jessa and Liani Aguilar; cousin Sophia Martinez (Steven Ruiz) and uncles Ramiro Martinez, Jr. (Birsha) and Patrick Martinez (Jennifer).
