James Michael Gabaldon

No one could fill a room with joy and enthusiasm more than Michael Gabaldon, formerly of College Station. Now he’s filling heaven with his special brand of charm. Michael passed away December 29, 2018 in Houston.

Born March 6, 1981 in College Station, Michael’s survived by parents Coral and James Gabaldon of College Station and brother Andrew of Austin. Infant sister Lisa preceded him in death.

Michael will be remembered for his passion, wit, and loyalty. He loved his Denver Broncos, Florida Gators, dogs, music, travel, and all things soccer.

A visitation will be held at Callaway-Jones Funeral Center in Bryan from 4 to 6pm Sunday, January 13, 2019. A funeral mass for Michael will begin at 11am Monday, January 14, at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Bryan. Services are in the care of Callaway-Jones Funeral and Cremation Centers of Bryan College Station.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be made in Michael’s name to Habitat for Humanity, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, and the Carmelite Monastery of Santa Fe. In addition, a GoFundMe account has been set up in the name of James Michael Gabaldon with all proceeds going to these charities.

  6. Coral, James and Andrew,
    I’m sending this message through tear-filled eyes. Michael had the most incredible personality, which along with his intelligence made him a memorable, much loved student. I’m sure he “lit up” every classroom. He will always hold a special place in my heart. May God bless you and hold you. Raby Womack

  8. I only recently met Mike on Dec. 18. I am a recruiter for the creative industry, and Mike wanted to utilize my company as a resource for hearing about new video production opportunities we work on. He had such a positive and fun energy about him that was definitely contagious. My meetings with new candidates are usually 30 min, but I am pretty sure Mike and visited for an hour. He just had such an engaging personality that it was easy to sit and talk with him. I am truly very sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers.

    • Thank you so much Sarah. Michael was telling us about his visit with you during Christmas. He was very excited and looking forward to working with you.

  9. To the Gabaldon Family,
    We were so saddened to hear about Michael. The loss of a child is incomprehensible. I want to express my condolences to the family and wish you peace and comfort as you go through this difficult time. Prayers are with you all!

  10. Michael was a special man who had so much to offer, a life well lived just too brief. I have fond memories of him playing soccer and growing up in College Station. I smile when he posted his activity on FB surrounded by friends, what a blessing to have so many friends. My condolences to Coral, James and Andrew, hugs all around.

  11. What extraordinary memories we have of traveling to soccer games with Michael, Coral, Gabby, and Andrew — from the middle school years through high school. Michael was a great student, goalie, and friend, and always a gentleman. Our prayers are with this remarkable family.

  12. Robert, Coral & Andrew
    Michael was an incredible young man and will missed by all who knew him. Remember the life he lived, his laughter and the difference he made in all our lives. May your love for him and your memories of who he was bring you great comfort. Your Aunt Anna
