My heart just broke when I heard the news. Over the years I always felt like I knew Caleb from all the stories Kim has told with a twinkle in his eye and much laughter. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Our most heartfelt condolences to Caleb’s family. Caleb was a wonderful young man and was our son, Jeffrey’s role model and idol. They were great friends and enjoyed each other’s company and each other’s spirit for life. Caleb is in many photos with my son taken during parties held in our house when we were away and it’s obvious that they had a great time together. Now they’re together again having a good time and bringing a little noise to heaven. Caleb will be missed by all who knew him but his memory will live forever.

Amy and Haskell family,
My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you all. If ever there was a success story, Caleb is one person who comes to mind. As a great friend to my brother, I was always excited to hear the stories of the trips Bryan took back home after seeing everyone. I most looked forward to hearing how Caleb was doing and enjoying the "job". I am very sorry for your loss.

My Dearest Sweet Karen, Kim and Family: My heart is heavy - there are no comforting words I can say other than Caleb is now at peace in the hereafter. He is surrounded Karen, with your beloved pets, his friends that have passed and the fond memories of his two wonderful sisters and extraordinary parents. Karen, just know you sharing "war stories" regarding our boys gave me the strength to believe in miracles. Funny, I told Jay and he said "mom Caleb was so cool and so was his truck". Josh is also devastated and said Caleb was "just one of those guys everyone likes. My dear sweet Ashley I also loveyou - you are a very special girl - you are like seeing sunshine on a foggy day. While I never met your older daughter I am sure she is as wonderful and giving as Caleb and Ashley. Kim and Karen your burden in heavy- Karen I share in your grief as a mom and Kim yours as a father. Life for you will not be the same but life for many others was improved just for knowing Caleb. With all my love, Michele Berstein

Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. Undoubtedly, everyone who was touched by Caleb is all the greater for it. And his life, while taken way too soon, was lived with profound purpose.
