Dear friends & family,

So many of us are reeling from the sudden loss of Caleb. There is a resplendent red-haired and lanky-shaped hole in all of our hearts. Who will we all turn to for gardening advice, binomial nomenclature, the best song to jam out to for all of life's moods, and instructions for building indestructible piñatas?

We will all miss him dearly and we invite you to celebrate his memory with a gift to his children, Quinn (14) and Casey (11).

A dog: Caleb loved animals and always had a gentle pat for every creature along the way. Quinn & Casey recently lost their beloved dog Winston, and have specifically asked for a dog to cuddle and help them right now. They could stop to smell the flowers while ambling in the woods, as they always did with their dad and Winston.

General help: Caleb helped to support Emily, Quinn, & Casey with his disability benefits, which they will no longer receive. Your support would go towards the boys' day-to-day needs, as well as things like trips and after school programming. Trips would allow them to spend time with people who love their dad, hear stories about Caleb to keep his memory alive, and visit places that were special for him.

RESP fund: Caleb had an incredibly curious spirit and intelligent mind. He was a lifelong learner, ever eager to share his latest interesting tidbit. A gift to Quinn & Casey's RESP will help them follow their own passions in post-secondary.

Caleb was a very well-loved person who meant so much to so many of us. Thank you for making a gift to help lift up his children during this difficult time and in the years to come. We also appreciate you sharing this widely with anyone who knew and loved Caleb or his children.

*GoFundMe has requested that I add the following information: I am Quinn and Casey's uncle (Caleb's brother). I will receive the funds for use supporting Quinn and Casey as described above and send these funds via e-transfer to Emily (Quinn and Casey's mother) for use as described above.
