Gabriel Mellina

Gabriel Steven Mellina, “Gabe”, age 29 of Weehawken passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 4, 2018 while receiving the loving care of his family.

Gabe was born and raised in Wayne and was one of three children to Steven and Diane Mellina.  Growing up Gabe took an interest in Football and played for the Boys and Girls Club of Wayne.  Throughout his life, Gabe was a very private person, and although he was reserved, he was able to talk about anything to just about anyone.  He was a passive and gentle souled young man who loved and cared deeply for his family.  Gabe never seemed to have an argument with anybody and never seemed to make any enemies.  His family recalls their yearly vacations to Isla Mujeres, Mexico where Gabe would be at his most content, relaxing on the beach and basking in the sun.  Clearly the most important thing in Gabe’s life was his family.  He was a very special person who was taken from the world too soon, but yet he touched the lives of many people and will be sincerely missed by everyone that knew him.

Gabriel is survived by his parents Steven and Diane Mellina of Weehawken, one brother Nick Mellina and his wife Lauren of Denver, CO, one sister Nicole Chatfield and her husband Steven of Hoboken, his two nieces Olivia and Harley, and his nephew Stevie.
