On Tuesday, August 21, 2018, surrounded with his loving family at Mercy Health Saint Mary's Hospital, Gabryal Lane Lucas-Schroeder, 27, of Grand Rapids, MI, passed forever into our memories and our hearts. Born October 21, 1990 in Grand Rapids, he was the son of Mary Louise Lucas and David Dean Schroeder. Gabe was a graduate of Allegan High School. His sudden loss leaves behind an irreplaceable void for everyone who knew him, but also a legacy of inherent kindness, gentleness and joy.

He was preceded in death by his grandmother, Kathy Dunning.

Gabe himself was an organ donor and saved the lives of 3 people with his donation. They also ask that friends and loved ones please visit the following websites to donate and help spread awareness of the need for mental health support and suicide prevention: www.afsp.org (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) and www.bbrfoundation.org (Brain & Behavior Research Foundation)
