A resident of Glen Burnie, Mo began calling in to a radio program on 105.7 The Fan in 2015 when he was 9-years-old.
At just nine-months-old, Gaba lost his eyesight to a malignant tumor. He had battled cancer four different times throughout his life.

Earlier Tuesday, the Orioles announced Gaba had been elected to the team's Hall of Fame as the second-ever recipient of The Wild Billy Hagy Award.
He also became an honorary Baltimore police lieutenant earlier this month.

I can’t begin to put into words what I’m feeling. I tried to finish my show after I found out and I couldn’t. I am so privileged to call you a friend and to be a part of your life. You stole my heart. You accomplished more in 14 years than most do in a lifetime. I love you! pic.twitter.com/8gMN4JsXom
