Joseph H. Gabor

Joseph H. Gabor passed away on June 25 at home in Gilbert, AZ.

He was born on October 11, 1976 in Waukesha, WI, the son of Robert and Lucia (Wambold) Gabor. Joe grew up in Eagle and graduated from Palmyra-Eagle High School in 1995. He attended WCTC in Pewaukee and graduated with an Associate's Degree in Computer Science in 2002.

Joe began his career as an IT Tech with Strong Funds, which was later acquired by Wells Fargo. He was awarded “TOP Performer of the Year” in 2013 with a trip to San Antonio, Texas. Joe worked for Wells Fargo up until he became ill in 2020. He had a wonderful group of friends in Arizona who were his caregivers while going through treatment and hospital stays. Even as Joe faced adversity, he remained determined, positive and hopeful. He was an inspiration to many.

Joe had many interests. He loved to play golf, go to the casino for bingo or a game of blackjack, attend Brewer games and tailgate with his Wisconsin friends, traveling and just relaxing with family and close friends. He will be remembered for his great sense of humor, strength and compassion for others. Joe will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on through those he leaves behind.

Joe is survived by his loving mother, Lucia and stepfather, Robert Krukar, Jr. of Princeton, brother Robert Gabor, Jr. of Milwaukee and nephews, Edwin (EJ), Oliver and Leland Gabor. He is also survived by many dear friends and relatives. He is preceded in death by his father, Robert Gabor, Sr.
