I didn't know Caleb, but to know that he was a child of the King's and is walking the streets of gold....Chills! Heartbreaking and hard to wrap your arms around a child going before is tough, but God knows and He understands. Praying that your hearts will be at pease and prayers from a stranger because my heart hurts with yours!

My son Brayden would play with Brett and Caleb when he would spend the night next door with Caden. He calls the twins “The Braleb.” Today as I was trying to help him process this, he told me of stories of the boys building forts, playing in the creek and on the wooden bridge. He said that Caleb always made him laugh. What a special gift.. to be able to make others laugh. I cannot imagine what you all are going through, but I do know The God that holds your precious boy today and always. I pray His peace everlasting for you and your family.

Really didn’t know the family but I did always see them at basketball games at the YMCA in Boiling Springs. I remember Caleb playing on the same team as my son and even against. He always had that smile on his face and could just tell he was having fun being a teenager. That smile always caught my attention because he always had it on him. I know he will be missed by his peers and more by his family. You knew that he was raised by parents that wishes nothing but the best for them. May have spoke to his dad in passing but you knew he would be there and wouldn’t miss a game or practice. Prayers from my family to yours. Take that smile and rejoice where we all long to be.

My heart broke when I heard Caleb had left us to go be with the Lord. He was definitely one of the neatest kids I have ever met. He always had a smile on his face and was always fun to be around. Caleb definitely touched many lives and will be truly missed. May the family find peace and comfort knowing that he is in the presence of Jesus and will be standing at the gates of heaven one day to greet us all.
