Gael Adrian Sifuentes, 17, of Brownsville, Texas, devoted son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle, and friend, entered eternal rest on September 19, 2025. He was born in Brownsville, TX on December 6, 2007.
He is preceded in death by his grandmother, Eugenia Sifuentes.
Left to cherish his memory are his parents Eduardo and Astrid Sifuentes, sister Nadia Sifuentes and brother Eduardo Damian Sifuentes, sister-in-law Jillianeey Sifuentes, and niece Anevia Sifuentes. He will be greatly missed by numerous family members including his grandfather Raymundo Sifuentes, uncle Gustavo Sifuentes and aunts Andrea Sifuentes, and Marizol Sifuentes.
We are at a loss for words and grieving Gael’s sudden and tragic departure from this world. Gael was the perfect son, brother, friend, and to us, a great person all around. He was a great student, football player, wrestler, and future EMT/firefighter to name a few things. Those are just the things you write on paper but if you happened to know Gael, you’d understand or know how wonderful he really was and how deeply he loved. His memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

It is with tremendous sorrow to hear of the passing of Gael. My Wife & I give our most sincere and deepest condolences to Eduardo “Lalo” & Astrid and the Sifuentes family. It was my honor to have been Gael’s teacher & coach at Pullam Elementary. He was a great student and athlete in his years at Pullam. It was a privilege to work alongside Lalo at Pullam as coworkers as Physical Education Teachers and Coaches. But, what was even more special, to watch Gael grow up into the fine young man that he became, with Lalo his dad every day there at Pullam. Those were great memories I will always cherish. Gael had the greatest aspirations for life and would have been a very successful person; no doubt. I will most certainly miss him. May God bless and be with the Sifuentes Family during this most difficult time of sorrow.
May Gael Rest In Eternal Peace.

My deepest condolences to the Sifuentes Family during this difficult time. I had the great privilege to know Gael thur my Son Sean and their friend group. He was a great kid and will truly be missed. May Gael Rest In Eternal Peace.
My most sincere condolences to the family 🙏🏻
I was Gael’s football and wrestling coach.. It was a pleasure coaching Gael. He was a hard-working young man. When we introduced BISD to wrestling in 2023 Gael was one of our best wrestlers. He loved to catch an opponent in a cradle. As soon as he did it was all over. I really enjoyed being around Gael, and am heartbroken that he is gone. Love you, Bud!
To the King of Cradles,
The impact you’ve left behind will forever be remembered. Your humor is unmatched kiddo, thank you for your presence. This world is not as beautiful without you, yet we are able to reflect on your legacy and feel nothing except gratitude. Coaching you was an absolute honor. Give those you left behind the strength to carry on. Words can not thank you enough, I love you Bud. To the Sifuentes Family, my most sincere condolences.. You all truly blessed us with an Angel.
Our most sincere condolences Astrid and Mr. Sifuentes. May your beautiful boy Rest in Peace.
I have no words of comfort for anybody in the family… why because I can never imagine or want to imagine what you all are going through. I love my girl, Astrid and I am here for her whenever she needs me. Love you, always. You have a shoulder to cry on and my sense of humor to make you laugh. Love you, my girl!
Our deepest condolences to Marizol and all the Sifuentes family. I never got the chance to meet Gael, but by reading who he was, and what he inspired says he was an amazing person. May God grant you comfort and peace through this most difficult time. Rest in peace Gael.
