Gabby Petito’s Dad “Can’t Stop Crying” 3 Years After Her Death

As a devoted follower who has closely observed the heart-wrenching saga of Gabby Petito, I can’t help but feel an unending sense of empathy for her loved ones, especially her father Joseph and mother Nichole. Their raw emotions and strength are a testament to the indomitable human spirit that refuses to be broken even in the face of unimaginable tragedy.


Gabby Petito’s family are still reeling from her loss. 

Three years following the tragic death of influencer Gabby, caused by her fiancé Brian Laundrie, Joseph Petito, her father, posted an emotional update about how her family and friends continue to feel the impact of her lack of presence.

3 years ago on this very night, he shared a photo of him and his cherished daughter, laughing together. He wrote, “You were taken from us then, and the tears still flow when we remember you. This dream feels unending. We move on, driven by your memory and all those whose lives you touched, and nothing can halt our progress.”

He continued, imploring his followers, “I ask anyone who reads this, please share a #missingperson flyer today. #EveryoneDeservesTheSameAttention #GabbyPetito #DomesticViolence #TogetherWeCan.” 

Gabby’s mother Nichole Schmidt also shared a moving tribute to her late daughter. 

“Nichole posted with the caption ‘It’s been three years since Gabby left us’, accompanied by a video tribute that said, ‘We dearly miss your laughter, your carefree nature, and your zest for adventure! We miss YOU each day. Yet, we understand… you are finally free.”

In an extra video message, Nichole pondered, “It’s already been three years, but it never seems to get any easier. Always keep in mind that you don’t know how long your time here lasts or how much time you have with someone. So, treat others with kindness and love because the actions you take matter greatly.”

Since Gabby’s heartbreaking passing, those close to her have been committed to honoring her memory by aiding others via the Gabby Petito Foundation. This organization, as stated on its website, strives to “assist in finding missing individuals and offer aid to organizations that help survivors of domestic violence, through educational programs, raising awareness, and implementing prevention measures.”

At CrimeCon in June, as Nichole expressed to her audience, “It’s crucial we stop such events from recurring for others. Our resolve gets stronger this way. Gabby’s spirit guides us; we can’t afford to stand still. We must press on, unite, and work together to transform the world.”

According to Joseph, Gabby’s story continues to motivate others to strive for a better life. He shared during the same gathering that they receive numerous emails and messages on social media about individuals who have ended their unhealthy relationships, inspired by Gabby’s tale.

In September 2021, the disappearance of Gabby captivated the country as Brian, who had traveled cross-country with her, suddenly reappeared in Florida without Gabby.

In a tragic turn of events, the dedicated YouTube and Instagram influencer, known for sharing her lifestyle vlogs, was discovered deceased in a secluded part of a Wyoming national park, 18 days after she embarked on a van trip with her partner. The authorities later determined that her death was caused by strangulation, classifying it as a homicide.

However, as authorities were trying to locate Gabby, Brian, who had become a focus of investigation in the case, vanished. Later on, his remains were discovered together with a notebook that admitted to the murder of Gabby. It was concluded that the 23-year-old took his own life.

Since Gabby’s heartbreaking passing, her family has been committed to honoring her memory by aiding others through the Gabby Petito Foundation. This organization aims, as stated on its website, to assist in locating missing individuals and offer aid to organizations that help domestic violence survivors via education, awareness campaigns, and preventative measures.

At CrimeCon in June, as explained by Nichole, “It’s crucial we stop such incidents from recurring among others. This strengthens us. Gabby guides us through our actions. We cannot stand idly by. We must progress and work towards transforming the world together.”

According to Joseph, Gabby’s tale continues to motivate others to strive for a better life. As he shared during the same gathering, numerous individuals have reported breaking free from toxic relationships after being inspired by Gabby’s narrative.
