Caleb was in a few of my classes all throughout school. Pretty much slept in class (or the ones we shared) and made good grades lol. He kindly invited me to sing karaoke with him, his sister, and some other of his friends he did not name not too long ago. I believe this was right before covid and I wish I would have gone now. I had too much social anxiety to go. Anyway he left too soon. Sending all my condolences to his family and friends... Especially to his other half, Samuel. I have twin nephews who turn 18 this October. Breaks my heart. God bless you all.

Even in the toughest times, Caleb somehow could make everything okay again and even make you laugh when joy seemed impossible. It was an honor to have known him and called him friend. Praying for you all.
