(From Knell Mortuary)Gabriel Lane Stokes, born on April 28, 1972, in Joplin, Missouri, the son of Curtiss and Carol (Henley) Stokes passed away on May 25, 2026, in Carthage, Missouri.
Gabriel graduated from Missouri State College with a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications. As part of his college experience, Gabriel studied abroad, spending time in both London, England and Geneva, Switzerland.
In his working life, Gabriel served with Visiting Angels in client care, where his kindness and patience were evident in the service he provided. Along with working and completing his education, Gabriel developed a hobby of turning wooden bowls on a lathe.
