Caleb, I never thought I’d be writing these words. It still hasn’t fully clicked in my head that you’ve left us here to go and be with our Heavenly Father. I’m not sure if I ever told you but you were truly a younger brother to me, the one that I had always asked for. Even now when I talk about you to my friends, and tell them of the games we used to play with each other, people ask me whether you were my biological brother.

I’ve missed you Caleb, and I’m going to miss you even more now. Yes, we were separated physically by our different countries of residence but whenever I would speak to your dad, he would always tell me how you, Evan and Anna were developing in your different passions. I’m so proud of you man. What you were able to accomplish, whether it was in sports, or in your writing of books, you were always eager to do more. You inspire me Caleb, to keep achieving and to keep pressing on. I’m going to miss you my brother but I’m at peace knowing you’re in a better place.

Love you Caleb, God bless.

Zach

Caleb, a brother and an amazing friend. It is with a very heavy heart that I write this… because it just feels so unreal, and I can’t bring myself to accept it. But I know that God’s taken you home, and you’re now in a better place. As my last respect to you, I’d like to say Thank You. We’ve had so many great memories together that I cannot even begin to recount them. And we’ve shared so many laughs, and I can never forget them.

You taught me so much. Whenever I would cry, you would tell me to be strong. It meant something then, but it means so much more now. I might have felt out of place anywhere else, but when I was with you and your loving family, I felt so at home. We used to joke that even though you were only a few months older than me, you took me as your younger sister, and would watch out for me and defend me.

When you moved to America, distance didn’t separate us, because when you came back to visit, we could talk about anything with each other, and catch up about things that had happened since. The 5 of us had a very strong bond, which I believe was hard to break. You’ll always be in our hearts Caleb; in my heart. I am blessed and privileged for the chance to have known you and been part of your life. I hope to see you in Heaven one day!
