Solebury Man Dies On 25th Birthday

A Solebury man died late last month on his 25th birthday, his family said in a touching obituary posted by The Intelligencer.

Gabriel Johnson Pfeiffer passed away Sunday, July 30 at his Solebury home. It was his 25th birthday, his family said.

Johnson Pfeiffer was described as a poet, scholar, music lover, and avid Dungeons and Dragons player. His obituary says he was just one semester away from earning a degree in creative writing from Lebanon Valley College.

"Gabe quietly and humbly endured many physical challenges, including the loss of his vision and a kidney transplant, without complaint or self-pity. He embraced life, and found enjoyment in the simplest things. He was wise beyond his years, and was so easy to love," his family said in his obituary.

Donations in his memory may be made to Alstrom Syndrome International, 14 Whitney Farm Road, Mount Desert, ME 04660.
