We weren't best friends but we had the military in common. Could not believe the news of his death. My condolences to the family and other special people that were in Callahn's life.

I still can't believe you are gone. I know we didn't talk in a long time, but you were and will always be my brother. I will never forget your energy. I'll miss those late nights eating ceviche, playing guitar, and singing. TIL VALHALLA!
