On April 12, Gabe Patillo passed away after a battle with cancer. Patillo was known in the Christian music industry for his collaborations with DC Talk and TobyMac's Diverse City. He was a friend to many in the industry, and Christian artists have been sharing their stories of Patillo on social media in memory of him.

"What I will treasure for the rest of my life is behind the curtain; on the bus, in the dressing rooms, at rehearsals, and at home," said TobyMac on social media. "I saw [Patillo] become a man, a husband, and a father that I respect. A guy that went from being like my 'lil bro to a man that continues to inspire me in every aspect of my life. What an utter privilege it has been to call him friend."

"I'm gonna miss you so much my brother," said Jordan Feliz. "But I'm so glad that you aren't in pain anymore & that you are safely in the arms of Jesus."

"Thank you Lord for the gift that was Gabe Patillo," said Terrian. "I love you brother. To be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord. That's what we're holding onto amidst these moments of pain and moments of shock. We will see you there someday."

Gabe Patillo is the son of Jackie Patillo, president of the Gospel Music Association (GMA). GMA posted on their social media, saying, "The entire GMA staff knew and loved Gabe like family. He will be hugely missed."

Christian artists are asking for prayers for the Patillo family, and are encouraging them to show their support by donating to their GoFundMe. Click here to donate and share your condolences.
