GabbyPetito: The van-lifer who ‘touched the world’ remembered as a fearless adventurer at memorial service

“I want you to be inspired by Gabby, that's what we're looking for,” Joseph Petito said during a heartfelt eulogy on Sunday at Moloney’s Holbrook Funeral Home in Holbrook, New York.

Her remains were found a week ago near a remote campsite in Wyoming, and her death has been ruled a homicide. Authorities are continuing to try to determine her cause of death, and have not yet returned her remains to her family. It was a sentiment echoed by many of the young women who visited the memorial service and had themselves survived violent partners.

Ms Petito’s stepfather Jim Schmidt, who travelled to Wyoming to assist in the search for her, is the former chief at the Blue Point Fire Department, and firefighters in dress uniform lined the block to pay their respects before the service.“This is not how life is supposed to work. But it is an unfortunate reality,” he said.
