Gabriel Joseph Lefever

"Gabriel Joseph Lefever was born on January 26, 1978 in Vancouver, WA and passed away unexpectedly on July 15, 2026, at the age of 48. Gabe loved his family deeply. More than anything, he loved his two daughters, Milly Jo and Estelle Mae. They meant the world to him, and he was incredibly proud to be their dad. No matter where life took him, his love for his girls never changed. Gabe loved being outdoors. Whether he was hunting in the mountains, fishing on the lake with his dad, or simply enjoying the little things that’s where he felt most at home. Some of his favorite memories were made on the lake fishing with his dad and enjoying the quiet moments they shared together. He shared a special bond with his parents and treasured the time they spent together. Gabe was known for his strong work ethic. He spent much of his life working in construction and labor, never afraid of hard work or getting his hands dirty. Most recently, he worked at Home Depot, where he had just been recognized as Employee of the Month, something he was proud to have earned. Gabe is survived by the mother of his daughters, Mandy Lefever; his daughters, Milly Jo Louise Lefever and Estelle Mae Joy Lefever; his stepson, Jakob Witham; his father, Daniel Lefever; his mother, Malea Goff/Lafever; his stepfather, Gary Goff; his brother Jeremy Lefever and his wife, Amanda Lefever; his sister Kori Jo Jones and her husband, John Jones; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will miss him greatly. He was preceded in death by his stepson, Timothy Crisman. Like all of us, Gabe’s life has its challenges, but those who knew him also knew his kind heart, his love for his family, and the joy he found in the simple things, a fishing pole in his hands, a day on the lake with his dad, and time spent with the people he loved most. Our hearts are broken by his passing, but we take comfort in the memories he leaves behind. We will remember his smile, the stories shared on the water, his willingness to work hard, and the love he had for his family. Though he is gone too soon, he will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten."
