Caleb Root Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hampton Funeral Homes - Hanover on Feb. 12, 2026.
Caleb A. Root, 45, passed away unexpectedly.

A true free spirit with an outlaw's charm, Caleb lived life on his own terms. He was quick with a smile and possessed a magnetic personality that drew people in. Though not everyone understood his path, his devotion to family and friends was unwavering.

He was preceded in death by three cherished men who shaped his world-his maternal grandfather, his father, and his son. We find small comfort in the thought that the four of them are together now.

Caleb is survived by his loving mother, Cindy Riddle; his beloved grandmother, Helen Reed; his sister, Lacey Hanes, who held a special place in his heart; and his devoted fiancée, Kellie Snider.

Visitation will be held Friday, February 20, from 5-7 p.m. at Hampton Funeral Home, 221 Main St, Hanover, MI. Funeral and burial services will be held privately with family.
