I came to know Caleb through a community of people seeking help through difficulties.
He was indeed warm-hearted, generous, kind, and had a great desire to overcome challenges.
He will be greatly missed, and my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. 🙏❤️🌤️

I had the immense privilege of working with Caleb in multiple science classes at Glendale and when he acted as a summer science camp counselor. He was such a creative, outgoing, and considerate young man. I just knew he was going to make a positive impact in our world. As I read over the many comments here, I see that he did indeed touched many lives with his enthusiasm, sense of humor, and fun-living nature. It breaks my heart to think of a world without Caleb.
Caleb's family (including Oskar): please know that I share in your sorrow and will always remember him fondly.

I met Caleb after we both moved to Philadelphia without knowing anyone there and I would consider him on of my best friends for the past 4 years. With our fast friendship, we started doing everything together - disc golf, art museums, video games, walks with Oskar, Sunday brunches, you name it. We spent Thanksgiving, Halloween, New Years, and more together when our families were too far to travel to.
One of the amazing things about Caleb is how welcoming he is. Often when we would hang out, there would be someone new joining us that Caleb had met recently or was traveling from out of town for a visit, but he would always welcome them like an old friend into our circle. It’s hard to feel lonely around Caleb - no matter the circumstances or who’s nearby, he would happily share his infectious smile, make a joke to a passing stranger, and share a compliment.
I wish I had met Caleb sooner and I wish we had more time together. Even after moving away from Philadelphia, Caleb came to visit me in Colorado and we frequently talked about the prospect of living near each other again and the fun adventures we would inevitably have together.
I feel incredibly fortune to have shared so many impactful moments and memories together and I am deeply saddened that we won’t have more. I love Caleb very much and my heart goes out to everyone that also feels the hole the world has without him. ❤️

I had the pleasure of being Caleb's manager since last June. From a boss's perspective, he was the kind of person you dreamed of finding, smart and hardworking with a great attitude. As a person he was much more than that. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. Even in the midst of very difficult, stressful situations he would let out a sigh and find a way to laugh about it.
He sat next to me and I always felt better when he would walk into the office in the morning. I felt even better when I heard Oskar's nails on the floor as they walked in together. People in the office always asked to pet Oskar even though he was in support-dog mode and Caleb always reacted with kindness, even when it was the tenth time he'd been asked that day "No, but thanks for asking."
While it doesnt compare to the personal impact that he made on people, Caleb accomplished so much professionally in his life. He told me about some of the tough jobs that he had in the past and how he had preserved through situations that would be tough for anyone to endure. We worked together on the 23rd floor of the tallest building in Philadelphia and he had earned his place there through his hard work and sharp mind.
I'm very grateful that I got to know Caleb and I'll never forget him.
