Caleb was born on November 7, 2009, in Green Bay, WI to Christian and Cynthia Kolbas. He moved to Milwaukee, WI with his parents in 2011 where he attended Vision Forward. When Caleb was 4, he moved to Phoenix, AZ with his parents. He attended school at Lauren’s Institute for Education in Gilbert where he had amazing teachers and friends who helped him grow and laugh.

Caleb was a ray of sunshine and nothing but pure love surrounded him. He had the biggest smile and most infectious laugh. He brought out the best in everyone he met. He was so much more than the “typical” boy, although he loved funny noises and voices, and rough housing with his dad. He loved being outdoors and playing in the water. He loved snuggling with mama and sister, and whispering “secrets.” He was a beautiful soul who loved music and Christopher Robin. He loved being with his family the most.

A funeral is scheduled for July 31st, 2022, at Mariposa Gardens, with a luncheon to follow at Guthrie Mainstream Services. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Caleb’s life. Donations can be made to Caleb's GoFundMe at https://gofund.me/1bc94143 . The family would like to thank all who knew and loved him through the years. He will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew him. Fly high little one, we love you.
