Caleb had a witty sense of humor and shared many inside jokes with those close to him. He was a foodie, enjoying good food from around the world, and loved to share the unique flavors he found with those around him. Fascinated by unique or obscure topics, especially unusual plants and animals, he was a continuous learner, digging deep to learn all there was to know about the subjects of interest to him. His incredible memory allowed him to remember and share what he learned in astounding detail. Caleb’s excitement for the things he was passionate about was contagious. He will be missed tremendously.
