Gabriel J. Zullo

Altamont, Gabriel Joseph Zullo (Gabe) went home to Our Lord on Wednesday, May 29th, 2024. Gabriel was born on Tuesday, September 12th, 2006 and is the Beloved son of Peter and Abbie Zullo. Gabriel, a Senior at Guilderland High School Class of 2024, spent over four years battling Ewing’s Sarcoma with a smile on his face and a will in his heart. He never let his cancer define him, instead focusing on the joys in life, such as family, friends, and school. He shined with a great light that enveloped everyone who came near. Our Warrior battled with courage, patience, bravery, and determination. He was an inspiration to everyone, inspiring them to live their own lives to the fullest. Gabriel was a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout, a member of Vocal Thunder, and an enthusiastic member of the Guilderland High School Robotics team where his role was programmer and driver. He loved to sing and participated in choir every year he was in school, culminating in First Place at the Music in the Park competition in Holyoke, MA. Gabriel had a strong faith which took him from altar boy to reader at the children’s mass to Adult Acolyte at St. Vincent’s de Paul church. Gabriel was the beloved son of Peter and Abbie Zullo; best friend and brother of Jenna, Tessa Leigh (Shak), and Jacob; his beloved dog Nyxie; cherished grandson of Bonnie Chainey, Allan Weir, Richard Elison, and Georgia Springs; paternal cherished grandson of the late Mama Lena and Grandpa Anthony Zullo; adored nephew of Mickey and Jim Jendraszek, Melanie and Michael Springs-Cowart, Ricky and Toni Ellison, Chaucer Ellison, Paula (predeceased) and Glynn Spratt, Joe (predeceased) and Kathie Zullo, Frank and Maryann Zullo, Tony Zullo Jr., Paul and Tammy Zullo, Theresa and Phil Ferrara. He is also survived by numerous loving cousins and extended family and friends.
