Gabriel Joseph Sullivan Simpson

Gabriel Joseph Sullivan Simpson, 8, of Manchester died in a motor vehicle accident on August 19, 2022, in Albany, NH.

Born in Manchester on January 7, 2014, he was the son of Kyle S. and Christine A. (Paul) Simpson.  He was educated in Manchester, going into the 3^rd grade at McDonough Elementary School.  Gabe was an extremely smart and intelligent boy who loved to read and spend time in the library, the true definition of a “smarty pants”.  He had an enormous interest in dinosaurs and archeology, wanting to become a Paleontologist, learn how to fly a helicopter, and fly himself to dig sites to recover and study dinosaurs and artifacts. 

Gabe was active in theater, loved art and enjoyed playing tennis and golf.  He loved being outdoors, and spending time fishing. He had even caught a few fish with his bare hands.  Gabe also enjoyed watching Bear Gryllis British Adventurer and loved bananas.  He was an altar server at St. Peter Church and loved his Catholic faith.  He had an interest in heaven and what it would encompass, and he is now there in the arms of Jesus.

Gabe was very independent, eccentric, and passionate about his thoughts, interests and beliefs.  He was the most loveable boy who gave the best hugs, squeezing so tight to let you know just how much he loved you.  Above all else, he will be remembered as the most caring, happy and loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend.

Gabe is survived by his parents, Kyle and Christine Simpson; his brother, Jeremiah Simpson; his Shepadoodle, Larry Bird; his grandparents, Gary and Susan Simpson, and Kathleen and Michael Paul; his great grandmother, Doris Simpson; his great aunt Pauline Burke; his aunts and uncles, Keith and Diana Simpson, Kelly and Bill Espinola, Kelly Jo and Jeremy Trippiedi, and Anna and Joshua Short; many loving cousins who were his best friends;and extended family members, Jodicie, Lilly, Kathy and Harlem.
