Gabby Petito's family had gathered together at her funeral service Sunday as she was laid to rest near the place where she reportedly grew up in Long Island, New York.

During the service at Moloney's Funeral Home, her dad Joe Petito urged everyone to take inspiration from her daughter's way of living.

As Joe stood in front of Gabby's photos at the funeral that was lived-streamed all across the nation, he honored his late daughter by stating she had made him "proud, as a father."

"Gabby is the most amazing person I've ever met," he confessed in his eulogy. "I'm asking you guys to be inspired by the way she treated people, all people...She genuinely loved people."

"When you leave here today, be inspired by what she brought to the table. I couldn't be more proud, as a father."

He also encouraged everyone not to waste any time and make the most out of every moment in life.

"If there's a trip you want to take, take it now," he said. "Do it now while you've got the time. If there is a relationship that you're in that might not be the best things for you, leave it now."

Gabby's stepfather Jim Schmidt who had traveled to Wyoming to help search for her, also spoke at the memorial claiming that Gabby had taught him to choose to make memories with family and loved ones over making money.

Both men did not make any reference to her former boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, in their speech.
