Caleb loved pro wrestling and NASCAR and  was a huge Kyle Larson fan.  He was a Clemson tiger fan for his mom and big brother and a Georgia bulldog fan for his daddy. He loved to fish and ride his golf cart through the neighborhood and sing and wave to the neighbors. He loved all animals, especially his dog Cabo and Christian‘s dog Kilo.
