Abel was a sweet and pure soul who touched many people’s lives in such a positive way. He always brought laughter, love, and happiness to all. He was our sweet boy loved by everyone he knew. Abel loved spending time with family and friends being silly and laughing. He taught himself how to play guitar and piano and enjoyed dancing and clapping to all types of music. Abel loved animals and they always brought joy to him. He loved his brother and sister very much and made many memories with them that they will cherish forever. Abel had a special heart and always brought people together. He learned how to say one word and that was ma-ma. No matter what he went through he was always a fighter and the strongest little boy we have ever known. We are so blessed to have had 13 amazing years with him and will hold him in our hearts with us forever.

Abel fue un alma dulce y pura que tocó la vida de muchas personas de una manera tan positiva. Siempre trajo risa, amor y felicidad a todos. Era nuestro dulce chico amado por todos los que conocía. A Abel le encantaba pasar tiempo con su familia y amigos haciendo feliz a todos y riendo. Aprendió por sí mismo a tocar la guitarra y el piano y disfrutó bailando y aplaudiendo con todo tipo de música. Abel amaba a los animales y siempre le traían alegría.
