Rest in peace buba, my prayers

Hey UFCMANIA crew first off thanks for all the hardwork and the constant updating of the site, I check this thing everyday, great job. And for the loss of this fighter is very sad, I remember seeing him in Vegas against Kongo, he was a good fighter. Sad loss.

amigo,espero ke Dios te concede un lugar cerca de El. por que Dios siempre necesita guerreros como tu. descance en paz.

GOD BLESS GILBERT

Aj matori nek je bog s tobom ako postoji, kako Ã"?itam zaslužio si i viÅ¡e od raja. Vaya con dios, amigo.

My heart goes out to his family.

Rest in peace.

we will always miss u cuz and never forget u, it is real sad to see anyone leave this place but even sadder we they were just getting started on their life and making a name for themself. miss u cuz

It’s never really easy to say Goodbye to the ones that you love. But this story is one of the hardest to swallow. He fought so hard and accomplished too much to just be gone like that. Cousin you will live in our hearts always out of all the memories that I have of you I can’t remember anything bad. I remember when you guys first moved down here from California and had to stay with us for a while. We will miss you dearly Cousin.

I met Gilbert throught his company as they do work for me. He was truly a “gentle giant”. His smile could light up a room. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be missed.

R.I.P

R.I.P SGT. ALDANA

Rest in Peace… may the Lord watch over your family in there time of need. my prayers are with them.

r.i.p gilbert DIOS es bueno apoyamos ala familia mandamos abrazos que descanse un gran amigo….

gilbert i saw you sunday morning leaving golds gym with your wife. i dont know if your leg cramped up from that cardio machine. i didnt even know who you really were till monday. when i heard about you n the news. u will be missed buddy… i wil join ritc and fight in your memory brother. im glad i got to say peace… rip my man.

Its very hard to say goodbye. Every since we met you helped me so much. I always looked up to you like a brother. R.I.P friend.

You helped me become a better man and a better officer. thank you for everything brotha. thanks for always being supportive and tellimg it like it was for what it was. no sugar coating. i don’t look up to many people…but Big Gil was a man i always wanted to like. a great Sarge, Husband, Father and friend! I Miss You Man! much Love and RESPECT! Asta la otra

I met Gil twice and watched him fight several times. I can’t say I knew him very well, but the few times that I talked to him, I could see that you can’t judge a book by the cover. If you had to judge a man without knowing him you just have to know the people that surrounded him. His friends are allot like him. Not only will the Aldana family feel his loss, but every one that was a friend, every one that watched him fight, that passed him on the street, down to the ones that shook his hand. I feel for the ones that never knew him at all……… So here is to the ones that really knew him………BIG GIL……. YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!!!!

To gil my bro.Sorry we let you down. We can’t wait until you come home. Sometimes I wish we would have made better attempts to do things together. But our work and hobbies get the better of our time. My kids will grow up knowing their uncle as if you are still here. Your memory will be strong in our hearts and souls.YOu will be missed,your shoes will be hard to fill.
We love you bro..

TO MY MAN GIL.WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT U WITH BIG RICH FROM MIA 2 WEEKS AGO. JUST GOT HOME FROM MY BOUNCING GIG AND WAS SURFING THE NET AND DECIDED TO CHECK THE UFC 5 FINALE RESULTS AND SAW UR NAME. NEEDLESS 2 SAY I AM SHOCKED. I FIRST MET U IN ’97 @ mESA COMMUNITY COLLEGE AS A WALK ON FROM THE BRONX. U AND KENNY PRIMUS IMMEDIATELY WELCOMED ME AS IF U HAD KNOWN ME FOR YEARS IMMEDIATELY OFFERING ME HELP WITH THE PLAYS, A PLACE TO STAY UNTIL I FOUND AN APARTMENT, AND UNLIMITED RAEMEN NOODLES!!! U WERE ONE OF THE REALEST CATS HAVE EVER MET AND ALWAYS TOLD ME TO KEEP MY HEAD UP WHEN I WAS HOMESICK. ALTHOUGH I HAVENT SEEN U SINCE ’99 U WERE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE IN AZ THAT I ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT. I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE CROSSED PATHS WITH YOU… RIP BIG DOG…..

I still feel sad about this

Man, I never saw you fight, in fact I never heard of you before. But being an Arizona Native and a fan of mixed martial arts, I find myself choked up to hear about your death. My thoughts and condolences go out to your friends and family bro.
