I dont know what to say or where to begin. My heart hurts so so bad for you guys. Caleb was taken way too early.
He was so close to so many teammates and students. He was praying for both of you and Caleb. His heart was so kind.
I remember when you trusted him with us at Central. Forever grateful to have had a chance to know him and be involved with him as his coach. What an awesome son you guys raised. God will love having him in heaven. As a coach, I often remind myself to coach every young man as if he is your SON. I hope I did him justice in that way.
Caleb Easterling
We will see you again.”
