Caleb was born on December 3, 2008, to Richelle and Mathew Eck in Nanaimo. He is survived by his parents, his brother Erik, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Caleb lived on Protection Island and was a senior in Grade 12 at Nanaimo District secondary School where he loved sports and being with all his friends.
Caleb grew up in Nanaimo and enjoyed being outdoors, driving his boat around Protection Island and fishing with his brother and friends. He was creative, imaginative, funny and treated the world as a stage, always ready to perform and hold your attention. His love for music and drums filled his home with his spirit and light.
He was gifted with growing up surrounded by a large loving family and fortunate to spend a lot of time with all his grandparents. His love and admiration for his older brother Erik was clearly felt. Caleb was sweet and kind to his community, always willing to lend a hand to the people round him and speaking with neighbors.
His sudden and tragic loss came as a great shock, and it is gravely felt by his entire family and others who loved him deeply.
Please join us to remember and share our love for Caleb and his beautiful smile. He will forever be in our hearts, and his light shall shine around us all.
