It is with broken hearts we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Ace Adam Malachai Gabriel-Killen, age 2 months, of Fort Lawrence, NS. Ace passed away on Saturday, October 21, 2023.

In Aces’ short time in this world he stole the hearts of everyone he met, he was a little ball of sunshine. He loved to get baths and take naps in his swing. Aces’ favourite thing to do was snuggling and playing with his mama (Sara Gabriel) and dada (Travis Killen). He had just learned how to smile but still hadn’t figured out how to use his cross eye and it was the most precious thing you’ve ever seen. His time in this world was short lived, but he will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him. 

Ace will be dearly missed by his mother Sara Gabriel, grandfather Adam Gabriel, aunts Amy Gabriel,Alexis (Nigel) Gallant and Allison (Tanner) Coates, uncles Riley Gabriel, Justin (Lindsay) DiMichele, Dominick Coates and Keiran Roper, grandmother Tammy DiMichele (Darren Coates), cousins Arlo, Gabby, Paisley and Tucker along with his many other great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

He passed with his father Travis Killen and maternal grandmother Amanda Gabriel by his side. He was predeceased by his grand father Lee Killen.

Arrangements are under the care and guidance of Jones Family Funeral Centre, 70 Church Street, Amherst, NS (902-667-8777) where a funeral service remembering Ace’s life will be held on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 at 2 pm. A burial and Celebration of Life will take place at a later date when his mother Sara Gabriel who is recovering from her injuries is able to attend.
