Gabriel was born on May 14, 1945, in Nuevo Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico, and joined his Heavenly Father on October 6, 2025.

His true passion, however, was his family. They were his pride and joy and he spent every minute he could with his wife, children and grandchildren. He leaves behind a lasting legacy of love, togetherness, perseverance and of course his humor.

He will greatly be missed and forever remembered.

He is survived by his wife, MaryAnn Ronquillo, his children and their spouses: Gabriel Ronquillo, Randy Eric Ronquillo and Jeffrey Ronquillo, JR, Reney Ronquillo and Donna Ronquillo. And his grandchildren: Carson, Christian, Luke, Judah and AnnaMarie Ronquillo. Everyone mentioned brought him so much joy, love and laughter.
