He worked at UPS in Amarillo for over 20 years where everyone knew him as "Lil Brown". After moving to Rowlett, Gilbert worked as the assistant manager and parts specialist for AutoZone. Gilbert always had a smile on his face and was a hard worker. He had an amazing work ethic and went above and beyond for those he worked with and for his customers. His family was his number one priority, especially his son, Zach. He loved grilling out and serving his family and he could always make his mom laugh when they were visiting. Gilbert also enjoyed fishing,  woodworking,  and just building random things.  Rest in peace brother Gilbert "JuJu", you will be missed.
