Thomas "Caleb" Ray Wilborn of San Antonio, Texas, departed from this world on August 14, 2025, at the age of 25. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend. Caleb was born on October 5, 1999, in San Antonio, Texas, to LaShea and Ernest Wilborn, as the youngest of two children. He graduated from San Antonio Positive Solutions Charter School in 2018. After high school, Caleb attended Ranger College and also found joy in working at the family business, Wilborn Steel, where he learned from his father. Caleb loved basketball and was an avid player in his younger years. He dreamed of playing for the NBA and gave his all in drills, practices, and especially in the games. He was a loyal teammate and made several lifelong friends through his years on the court. His biggest treasure, however, was being a child of the Almighty God. Caleb held his faith in Christ closest to him. Even when hard times would come, he would often seek Jesus in those times and was comforted by the promises of God. Caleb is survived by his parents LaShea and Ernest Wilborn; sister Shayla Wilborn and niece Emery Wilborn.
