Caleb McDonald Obituary

Caleb McDonald

Caleb McDonald went peacefully to his Maker and the God he loved on Sunday, April 10. He is now in the arms of his maternal grandparents Katheryne and Charles Webb and his paternal grandparents Katherine and Glenn McDonald.

Caleb was born on April 28, 1977. He attended Oriole Beach Elementary, Gulf Breeze Middle, and Gulf Breeze High. He resided in Delray Beach but considered Gulf Breeze his home.

Caleb is survived by his parents Leslie and Allen McDonald; his sister and brother-in-law Lindsey and Roth Friar; his niece and nephews Wyatt, Georgia, and Jackson Friar; his special aunt Kathy (Ronny) Adams; his cousins Jason Adams and Jennifer Estaris; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Caleb's charismatic personality endeared him to many. He will be remembered for making people laugh and looking for the next adventure. Always full of energy and thoughtful, he was fiercely loyal to his family and friends.

Visitation for family and friends will be Friday, April 15, from 4-6 p.m. at Waters and Hibbert Funeral Home at 124 Gregory Street, Pensacola.

Allen, Lesley and Lindsey,
It will be difficult this first year without Caleb and understanding. The Lord has his reasoning to call Angels to watch over us...and now Caleb is your families Guardian Angel. The love, support and memories shared with family-along with the devoted friends that love you all so much will bring moments of peace. Our love is with you.

How sad we are to see him go and he will be very missed especially at such a young age. But God needed him more in Heaven. His purpose is so much greater in the presence of our Saviour. I know the pain seems unbearable, our God will carry you through each day. Until you all meet again. God Bless
