The Gabrielle Landry Obituary

The news of Gabby’s passing has struck the North Side with a “heartbreaking” intensity. Gabrielle was a “vibrant and beautiful” 15-year-old whose “meaning and warmth” provided the foundation for a life filled with laughter and love. To lose such a “vibrant spirit”—a young girl remembered for her “bright heart” and caring nature—in a situation she had no part in creating is a reality that has left her family searching for comfort in the midst of “indescribable” sorrow.

According to the Milwaukee Police Department, the “profoundly sad” incident occurred near North 65th Street and West Thurston Avenue. Gabby was a passenger in a vehicle when a dispute involving the adult occupants escalated into a “nightmare” of gunfire. Though she was merely a bystander in the backseat, she was the one whose “bright light” was extinguished. As her mother, Lachandry Landry, and her sister navigate this “heartbreaking loss,” they are leaning on the “vibrant and beautiful” memories of a girl who was the “life of their home.”

A “Vibrant Heart” and Cherished Daughter

Gabrielle Landry’s 15 years were a masterclass in “vibrant beauty” and sincere connection. Those who had the “privilege of knowing her” describe a “bright heart”—someone who was a source of constant “meaning and warmth” to her mother and siblings. She reminded us all of the importance of an “unwavering spirit” and the value of a courageous, young heart. Her absence is a heartache that will be felt throughout Milwaukee for years to come, yet her legacy of “vibrant spirit” remains a guiding light for her loved ones as they seek to turn this “profoundly sad” tragedy into a message for peace.

The “outpouring of support” following the conviction and sentencing of the shooter in January 2023 is a direct reflection of the love Gabby sowed during her journey. She was a “beacon of light” who taught those around her that the true measure of a person is found in the “meaning and warmth” they bring to their family. Her story is one of “vibrant beauty” and “quiet and powerful” grace—a legacy that will continue to guide her family as they honor her memory and find peace in the “vibrant and beautiful” life she led before her “profoundly sad” departure.
