Gabrielle Dorothy Pam Gast, age 5 months 26 days, passed away peacefully in her parents' arms at home surrounded by her family on February 2, 2025. She is survived by her parents Patrick and Dorsey, siblings, Olivia, Murren, Elias, Catherine, and Cullen; grandparents Floyd and Jeanette Gast, and James and Rayanne Nelson; and many other loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. Gabrielle is preceded in death by her unborn twin siblings, Blake and Alex. She was our rainbow baby.

Gabrielle, aka "baby Pickle" was a true gift from God. She fought with courage, was brave beyond measure, and taught us all how to truly love. Born premature, just 3 pounds 10 ounces, she fought every moment to live. We learned on her 3rd day of life that she had a rare genetic condition called Trisomy 18, or Edwards Syndrome. She spent the first 2 months of her life at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis where she surpassed many milestones, overcame multiple hurdles and setbacks, and grew strong enough to come home on October 6. During her brief visit on earth, she enjoyed listening to music or books, sleeping with her arms above her head like she was sunbathing, cuddling with siblings and stuffie's, and being held close by her parents. She was loved by all who met her and will be greatly missed.
