Gabriel Robert Johnson

Gabriel Robert Johnson, 19, of Jersey Shore passed away unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, May 6, 2025.

Born April 19, 2006, in Lock Haven, he was the son Karyn and Kevin Stiadle, Jersey Shore and Dean and Natalia Johnson, Nisbet.

Gabe was a 2024 graduate of Jersey Shore Area High School. He worked at Wal-Mart in Mill Hall.

Gabe was a brilliant musician, composer, accomplished piano player, and bass player. He enjoyed the outdoors. He was the best kid, always doing what was asked of him without question. He loved nothing more than making music – especially with his sister Kat. They would spend hours playing together. He had a very supportive group of friends that he had known since childhood, and would spend hours talking to them and playing games online with them. Gabe was always a happy go lucky, boisterous kid – who would talk your ear off. He adored his 2 nieces and spent much time with his 4-year-old niece Calista. He was truly her favorite person. He had a wonderful sense of humor and the sweetest smile. Gabe was an Angel, sent from Heaven above – given to his family for a short time to enjoy and love. He is now back in Heaven with the Lord, making music with the Angels.

Surviving in addition to his parents, Gabe is survived by his maternal grandparents, Gayle and Dallas Miller of Jersey Shore; paternal grandfather, Marlin Johnson; brother, Tristan Johnson (Kylie) of Dysart; sisters, Tia, Victoria and Katarina Johnson all of Jersey Shore; nieces, Calista and Tabitha Johnson; and many uncles, aunts, cousins and cherished friends.

Friends will be received from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at Rearick Carpenter Funeral Home with a Celebration of Life following at 2 p.m. Rev. Jeff O’Neill to officiate.

The family suggests memorial contributions in Gabriel’s name be made to Hope for the Day: non- profit movement empowering the conversation on proactive suicide prevention and mental health education. HFTD.org.
