Alyssa Taylor says
God is amazing. He will forever be our refuge in tough times. I wrote a speech this year for LTC which is leader ship training for Christ. My speech was about refuge. Little did I know that I would be writing this speech for me and my family. Yesterday my brother got in a car wreck and passed away. I think about my speech and just think God knew what he was doing. He guide me in the right way with my speech and has let it be a example for me and my family. It’s been tough. Shock was the first thing I felt. Today was definitely worse. I take great comfort in knowing my brother was a Christian and saved. It hurts a great deal right now but I will continue on and not let this stop me from doing what I most and want to do. Caleb was definitely an interesting character but he was fun. He was a giving person that’s something I’ll never forget. I remember all the hugs he tried to give me cause he wanted me to know that he loved me and he loved messing with me. Caleb had his moments with me where I was ready to punch him but in the end we always ended up playing around. I will never forget playing video games with him. He made me so stressed out cause he just wanted me to be able to play good and to the best of my abilities because that’s the type of person he was. He saw good in people. While we had our moments I loved him. So Caleb if they have Facebook in heaven I hope you see this. I love you and thank you for being a big brother the time I had you. I hope you can dance up there cause I know you liked to dance but never did cause you thought you were bad at it. I hope your farts don’t stinks as much cause woo they were bad. I love you I miss you. One day we I’ll meet again and I’ll give you the biggest hug ever. No word will ever express my love I had for you.
Brent Pennington says

Tracy "Shayla" Price says
Caleb, or as many of his friends new him, Seka, was a wonderful young man and severely missed already. I can’t say how many times I alone have cried. Over a dozen of us met at Seth’s last night to honor his memory with his favorite things – his favorite drink, his favorite video games, the Nerf guns he loved so much, and more. Several memorials are planned in his honor. He touched so many lives with his bright smile and cheerful attitude. We love you so much, little buddy. I just don’t know what we’ll do without you…
Wild Nights says
It breaks our heart to lose such a wonderful person. He was always willing to help where he was needed, whether he was pitching tents, helping in the kitchen, or just sitting by the fire lending an ear. His smile was sincere, his laughter contagious.
Caleb loved everyone, and we loved him. The hole that is created by the loss of him will be felt, and we wish to offer our sincerest condolences and prayers to you in this tough time.
The Baratz Family says
We never had the honor to meet Caleb, but know how wonderful his mom is. Our prayers are with you all during this most difficult time and will be for quite sometime. I wish there was something I could do or say, but I know there isn’t. Just know that we love you and are here in you need ANYTHING!
Leola says
Juanita, my heart is breaking for you! I cannot imagine what you are going through right now. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! May God fold you in His loving embrace and comfort you with His love!
Amanda "Waterfall" Easterling says
This really breaks my heart to see a good friend as Caleb aka Seka pass away so young. He has touched so many hearts. He was a very sweet young man that I am glad that I got to know. He was so full of life and knew how to put a smile on pretty much everyone he met. I know me and several others are going to miss him very much. There are more memorials going on in his honor because he was beloved by so many. Many thoughts and blessings to his family during this time of sadness.
Sharon Fitzpatrick says
I can’t begin to imagine how you all must feel. It makes my heart hurt for you.
William Dellor-Sullivan "Kashi" says
Caleb “Seka” Was a good and wonderful friend. I had known him for a few years now, and he always brought his friends happiness. If he was around, you always had a friend to talk with. I will miss him dearly, just as many many others will.
Kimberly "Hollyfox" Monda says
Just because we can no longer see and touch him because his physical body is gone, he is too bright beautiful and loved of a spirit to ever completely leave us. Each memory we hold of him is his way of saying Hello… if heaven is real, then he is waiting for his friends, family and loved ones… and until our time has come he can watch over us. I suppose that means we should watch what we say, but also, when we feel the need to talk to him.. we can… after all, he just wanted his friends and loved ones to think well of him.. Love endures.. its something we can carry with us and no matter what happens, those that love him will never stop loving him… and he will never stop either… that is truly what is important in living…
