Chris Vazquez started a GoFundMe campaign to help Salazar's family with his memorial fund. In the description, it wrote, "Gabriel loved his family and was always horsing around with her sister and little brother . He was always there with a big hug and smile, and his family will never forget those warm moments. He was so funny with a quiet sense of humor and sarcasm. I cannot believe that I am sitting here writing this. How is this real life?"

According to this article, Gabe Salazar had more than 1.2 million followers, and he went with the TikTok handle GabeNotBabe. San Antonio Magazine also documented his rise to stardom in 2020, followed by the San Antonio Express-News this year.
