Just yesterday, on January 2, Gabriel’s friend Ricardo Gouvea went public with the loss he was experiencing.
“Gabriel died practically sleeping, he didn’t suffer,” he said. “He died trying. He fought to the end, he was very strong and I have a lot of respect for him. He was a very good person with a very good heart.”
Unfortunately, things halted and quickly went downhill after the subsequent death of his father and brother.
The outlet reported that Gabriel had packed on weight again, clocking in at almost 840 pounds just before he passed away.
“What sad news Ricardo,” read a message. “My condolences to you and Gabriel’s family. May God protect him. We know he was a warrior.”
Gabriel’s unforgettable journey started back in 2015, when he weighed over 700 pounds and towered at 6ft 4in.

Gugu Liberato, the host of the show, proudly congratulated him, saying he was one to “[go] further than most people could imagine.’
“Don’t give in nah, I’m here bro! If you don’t fight, I’m here to fight for you… Setting an example so you don’t fall,” he wrote. “Stare at the target, take a deep breath and go, go, go… Just come back with a win… It’s a matter of honour, not glory.”
He then started a YouTube channel, calling it “My Parallel Universe.”
Gabriel introduced himself to the Internet, writing, “I decided to share my struggle to lose weight with all of you in order to help you with motivation and to show that it is possible to lose weight without surgery or medication.
He started to spread his motivational message to others on social media
“Here, you’ll see all the changes from a guy who weighed 320kg to the body he always dreamed of. Welcome to my life.”
Additionally, he announced that he was stepping into “a new phase” last October, detailing his new weight loss plan onsocial media.
