A terrible catastrophe struck Gabe Harvey on Sunday night, September 1, 2024.
Gabe was out enjoying himself with his close colleagues at Methodist Hospital ICU, where he has been employed since 2022 as a Health Unit Coordinator (HUC). While finishing nursing school, Gabe worked as a HUC. He was about to graduate in December 2024 when a drunk driver struck and killed Gabe and a waitress (Kristina Folkerts) on the patio of the Park Tavern in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
In addition, four of Gabe’s coworkers, Methodist ICU nurses, sustained injuries in the incident.
Gabe and Denzel, his partner, had just bought a house and were in the midst of furnishing it.
Gabe never met a person he did not make an impression on; he was always smiling and had a pleasant word to say to everyone.
He has an unrivaled capacity to include everyone and give them a sense of being noticed and valued. Gabe was intelligent, funny, compassionate, and tremendously upbeat. He was always jumping along the corridor, cheering everyone on and wishing them a wonderful day, if he wasn’t helping the staff, patients, or family members.
His real character, laugh, and grin will always be missed.
Keep his family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
