Caleb Alford Barnes was born on April 25, 1989 in Newport News, Virginia. He went to his homecoming on Saturday, November 9, 2024.
Caleb graduated from Tates Creek High School in 2007 and was a star football player. He also attended Kentucky State University. Caleb loved the Baltimore Ravens, anime, video games and Tech n9ne. He also enjoyed spending time with his cousins Jonaci Reeves, Miranda Monteer, Justin and Mirio Reeves and Sariah Hawley.
Caleb was preceded in death by his "Nan," Kathleen Nobles; his "Auntie J," Johnna (Nobles) Brown; and his biological father, John Barnes.
Caleb is survived by his mother, April Meneese; father, Wendell Meneese; brothers, Brandon and Arryn Meneese; as well as a host of cousins, aunts and uncles from the Meneese and Barnes Families.
Caleb was what you would call a "Gentle Giant." He was one of the most selfless young men in the entire world. He wore his heart on his sleeve. Caleb will be greatly missed by many.

I will always remember how he was such a gentle soul. Beautiful smile from a baby to adulthood. He looked and sounded like my brother Johnnie Ray Barnes. My heart is heavy with sorrow for the families and myself. But rest assured God knows best and takes care of all. He will heal our hearts and we will have no more tears. May God keep the family in comfort at this time. I will keep the families in prayer. Love auntie Jenette B. Mucker
