Gabryel Christopher Mills

Gabryel Christopher Mills, 18, passed away November 11th, 2019 in a tragic car accident with two of his close friends in Jefferson County, WA. Born April 16, 2001 to his mother Elisabeth (Motan) Mills in Port Townsend, WA and lovingly raised with both his mother and chosen father, Samuel Mills. Gabe was a very kind, generous and compassionate young man with big dreams and hopes for his future. His contagious smile, humorous nature and huge heart will be greatly missed by so many. Our hearts are absolutely shattered at his loss but his light forever shines bright within us. Gabe enjoyed video games, skateboarding, riding dirt bikes, playing his guitar, listening to music, constructing legos with his little brother, anything that had to do with food (to say he loved food is an understatement), snuggles with our pets, fishing with dad (unless it was on a boat), clam digging, watching movies with family, working on cars with dad, cooking, camping, making people laugh, and teaching his brother important life lessons. He had just started a new job with Taylor Shellfish Farms and he absolutely loved it. Gabe is preceded in death by his loving and adored Maternal Grandfather, Patrick Motan. He is survived by his Mother Elisabeth Mills, Father Samuel Mills and younger Brother Michael Mills; Maternal Grandmother Carol Motan; Aunt Amanda Benshoof and Uncle Keith Benshoof; Aunt Stephanie Rains, Uncle Jerad Rains and Cousins Lyric, Isabella and Lucianna; Paternal Grandfather Michael Mills; Paternal Grandmother Cailin Durham; Uncles Matthew Durham and Nicholas Mills; Uncle Michael Mills and cousin Isabelle; Uncle Joe Durham, Aunt Torie Garrett and cousins Damen, Abigail and Josephine; and so many other friends and family members. Please join us for a Celebration of Life at the New Life Church Saturday, December 28th, at 1pm.
