Provo, Utah. This was in the heartland of the Mormon faith and culture around Salt Lake City. The university was founded as the Brigham Young Academy in 1875. Later it became an accredited university and was sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. By Esther’s time, its brochure noted that it featured: esteemed performing arts, famed sports programs, an immense language curriculum, and served as a center for learning and culture in the Utah Valley.

    Gabe’s life after high school went in a very different direction. He left the Coquille area and moved up to Silverton, Oregon, where his maternal grandmother, Lynn Walsh, lived. This was much closer to metropolitan areas, such as the state capital, Salem, and Portland, than Coquille had been. It was also very near one of Oregon’s natural wonders, Silver Falls State Park. The ribbon of water leaped over a cliff into an incredibly green world of ferns, shrubs and pines. Hiking trails led up to the base of the falls, and countless tourists trekked up to view them every year.
    Gabe began studies at Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC). While enrolled there, he lived with Lynn Walsh. She recounted, “Gabe was attending Mt. Hood Community College and working more than one job. He even worked nights at a restaurant to pay his way through college. And he was just as nice and helpful as ever. There was an elderly woman in a wheelchair in the neighborhood. Gabe would mow her lawn and run out to take care of her needs. Normally, to me, a young person would be looking for entertainment or something else.”
    This was a theme that people over and over again said about young Gabe. He was willing to go out of his way to help people. And as Fred Eschler noted, Gabe seemed to have an innate facility to start up a conversation with anyone, no matter what their job was or their circumstances in life.
    Gabe chose automotive mechanics as his field of study, something that he was good at. Like anything that he was interested in, Gabe studied hard and performed well, carrying a 4.0 grade point average. In fact, he was at the top of that year’s class. His instructors commented upon what a good student he was. Gabe even became valedictorian for his graduating class. His speech was full of optimism and hope for the future; it looked as if Gabe was on his way in a promising career.
    Gabe was immediately hired as a mechanic at a prestigious BMW dealership upon completion of his courses. Gabe, as usual, was outgoing and gregarious and got along well with his coworkers and supervisors. He was pulling in a good salary and seemed to be adapting to a well-structured, comfortable life.
    Michael “Mike” Woods, the manager of the BMW dealership, remembered Gabe as a “great kid.” He described him as intelligent, straightforward and honest. Gabe showed up to work on time, never caused any problems and was very proficient. Customers of Gabe were just as enthusiastic about his workmanship. He was always professional, neat and had a certain charisma about him.
    Years later, Woods said of Gabe, “We had an agreement with the community college where there was one term in school and one term in the shop. I was the shop foreman who trained a lot of technicians. I had a lot of one-on-one training with Gabe at the dealership and saw him off and on over that two-year period. He was a paid employee during that two years, and when he graduated, we wanted him to stay on with us.
    â€œGabe was very competent in his work and a joy to be around. Very uplifting, very sunny, very bright. If you were down, he would joke around and try to bring you up. He didn’t use profanity. He was just a clean-cut boy. He didn’t use alcohol or do drugs, and I don’t think he even drank coffee.
    â€œHe didn’t brag or puff himself up. It was more like he was there to help you. He was compassionate with others, and when you talked to him, you got a sense
