<b>Gabriel Joshua Wolrab (Carr) </b>
CARR, Gabriel Joshua Wolrab — Gabriel took his life at his home in Roseburg, Oregon, on October 17th, 2006. We deeply grieve the loss of this amazing young man. Gabe was born on May 3, 1985, in Long Beach, California, to parents, Jeannice Furgerson and Lawrence Wolrab. When Gabe was 9 he met the man who would be his father, Daniel Carr. Gabe was a traveler. He loved to hit the road for adventure (parties). Always returning home to his family to regale us with tales of his exploits. He was also an accomplished poet. He expressed himself so eloquently on paper. Winning talent shows and even being published in the school yearbook. Gabe graduated with honors from Sutherlin High School in 2003. During his high school years Gabe developed such strong bonds with so many people. Sami Saltzman was the one female who understood Gabe inside and out. I believe in a lot of ways they were reflections of each other. He also had the honor of graduating with his two best friends and brothers, Trevor Metz and Ryan Yancey. He was voted most "pierced." Upon graduation Gabe began to indulge his love of travel. Along with his trusty backpack and a pair of good shoes he was off to see the world. He loved to meet new people and experience different cultures. He shared that bond with a special friend, Josh Bighaus. Now Josh will carry a part of Gabe with him in all his travels. There were so many people who had a close bond with Gabe, unfortunately I can't list you all. Please don't feel slighted if your name does not appear here. You know what you meant to him. A few people deserve special recognition here. First and foremost his little sister, Christie. Their love transcends all! His father Daniel Carr, whom he respected and loved more than any man in his life. Sami Saltzman...you know why! Justin Nunnamaker of Tapestry Tattoo for being Gabe's Michelangelo! Ivan Pace and Ben and Jake Mackenzie for always giving him a place to crash! Josh Bighaus for being his road buddy and finally Trevor Metz and Ryan Yancey for being not only his brothers, but always and forever his best friends. Gabe is survived by his parents, Jeannice Furgerson and Daniel Carr; sisters, Christie Shute; Elizabeth Arias and Jessica Mandin all of Sutherlin; brothers, Trevor Metz and wife, Fatima; Ryan Yancey and girlfriend, Jaimee; nephew, Ezra Metz and niece, Isis Yancey all of Roseburg; grandparents, Joyce and Jimmy Cooksey of Tennessee; Donna and Doyle Carr of Montana; Vince and Ardyce Wolrab of Iowa and Mary Wolk of California; great aunts, Janice Rogers of Myrtle Creek, Oregon and Phyllis and Ron Edwards of Green, Oregon; aunts Tara Randall of Roseburg; Jeaniva Gray; Jeannette Hines; Jaime Siebuhr and Andrea Odom all of Tennessee; Doris Ackerman and Wendy Christian of Iowa and Laurie Lucke of Massachusetts; uncles, Lance Wolrab and Doug Carr of California; Vince Wolrab Jr. and Scotty Wolrab of Iowa and his uncle, Joey Hines of Tennessee with whom he shared an extra special bond. He is survived by cousins too numerous to mention. Gabe was preceded in death by his Mammo, Inez Townsend; grandfather, Elkin Johnson; great uncle, Lee Rogers and recently his cousin, Christopher Rogers. They await his arrival on the other side along with his beloved dog, Shelli. His Memorial was held on Monday, October 23, 2006, at 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., at the Sutherlin Community Center. Mijo, You were my wish on every star. In the "always" that lie ahead and the "forever" that will be...I loved having you in my world. I will hold you in my heart more gently than any feeling. I will keep you on my mind more lovingly than any thought and I will feel blessed by your presence more than you will ever know...Mommy.
