Gabriel Arvin Wahl entered God's heavenly cradle on December 16, 2012 in Bakersfield. So long we waited to meet you but so quickly you slipped away, now we wait to meet you once again and dream of that heavenly day. He is survived by his parents, Araceli (Ballesteros) and Timothy Wahl; grandparents, Thomas and Tina Wahl, Susan and Dennis Dolezal, Rita Ballesteros, Santiago Ballesteros; great grandmother, Delfina Rios, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. A graveside service under the direction of Peters Funeral Home was held on Friday, January 4, 2013 at Wasco Memorial Park for Gabriel Arvin Wahl. Father John Fluetsch officiated the service.
