Caleb was a graduate of New Bern High School, where he played tuba in the marching band. Caleb loved skateboarding, travel, lighting things on fire, and spending time with family and friends. He would drop anything to be there for those he loved, he had a generous spirit and a heart of gold. His smile lit up the room, and it will be sorely missed by so many friends and his giant family who loved him and treasured him so dearly. In just over 20 years of life he lived every moment to the fullest and gave more of himself than most could in 100 years. He never second guessed an opportunity to have fun and spread love. Although he will be dearly missed by the ones he left behind, he is now with many family members and friends who have gone before.

A celebration of Caleb’s life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 27, 2022 at Cotten Funeral Home, followed by a reception for family and friends.

Arrangements are in the care of Cotten Funeral Home & Crematory.
