Caleb Coggeshall Obituary

i love you and miss you caleb! not a day goes by that i dont think about you!

My dearest Caleb,
I have been looking at pictures of you. That is all that is left of your shining face. I have no tears left. Nevermind... here they come. You were the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I will always remember your handsome smile and your warm hugs. You always gave the best hugs. I cry out for you in my dreams. My dreams don't know you are gone. I would give anything and everything to have one more moment with you. You were such a wonderful person, Caleb. Why didn't you know that?! I want you back so bad. Can't you just come back for one more minute so that I can tell you how amazing you are?!
I love you with every fiber of my being,
Your Big Sis

Cabe,
I miss you so much. Words cannot explain the torment I feel. I always dream that you are alive, and that makes it even worse. When I wake up I think you are in the other room. How could you leave us like that?! Don't you understand that the world needs you, we need you, I need you!! I get so frustrated because I don't know how to live without you. It's like learning how to live all over again. My heart aches. All I want to do is hold you. All I want to do is talk to you... one last time. Sometimes I still don't believe you are gone. I think I've accepted it for the most part, though I fight it on a daily basis. I don't understand what good can come from losing you, but I have to believe there is a plan. I love you more than you could ever comprehend.
Love ALWAYS,
Your Big Sis

Cabe,
Remember that time in the car when you hugged me so hard I almost ran off the road? You told me you couldn't live without me, and I told you the same. I meant it when I said that... I meant it. I am so sorry for anything I ever did to hurt you. I hope you are watching from above... I have to believe that you are, in order to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I never thought I would have to live without you. I thought we would always be able to laugh together, cry together, hug each other. I thought it would be like that always. I never wanted to see the day when you would no longer be here. But now I have to keep going without you. My world is in disarray. I cannot fathom one more moment without you, but somehow I keep going. I think it's because I know you are watching, cheering me on. I love you forever and always.
Love ALWAYS,
Your Big Sis

Cabe,
I think about you always. I write to you on this website because it makes me feel close to you. I am crying tears of sorrow. My heart is in pieces and I don't know how much longer I can hold it together. My world has been turned up side down, and my heart and mind ache. My love for you is unconditional. I need to see your face, hear your voice. I need to hug you and hold you and tell you everything is going to be ok. I need more time with you, Cabe. I hope you knew that I would have done anything for you, and still will. My whole existence has been shattered. Nothing can ever replace you, and because of that there is a hole in my heart. I don't know what to do anymore. I would give up anything and everything for one more moment with you. You are forever in my memories. My best memories are with you, and I will never forget... i'll never forget.
Love ALWAYS,
Your Big Sis

PS.. I'll never forget that time we were in the car and you hugged me so hard I almost ran off the road. You told me you couldn't live without me, and I told you the same. I meant it when I said that... I meant it Cabe.

Caleb,
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I miss you. A piece of my soul has been torn from me, and I don't know how to deal with it. I am dying inside, Cabe, and I can't take it without you. I love you more than you will ever know. I don't think I ever told you this, but you are, and always will be, my favorite person. My heart aches every minute of every day. Your absence causes my whole body and mind to suffer uncontrolably. I don't know how much longer I can live without you. I can't wait to see you again. I love you with all of my heart and the remainder of my soul.
Love ALWAYS,
Your Big Sis

we all love and miss you so much caleb!

i love you cabe baby and i miss you so much. you are my other half. without you i`m not complete. i can`t wait to see you again in my after life!

Cabe,
how do i even begin with you? you have always been a part of my life, a piece of the puzzle that held our families together... a crazy, fun, wild, outgoing, loving person... it seems like it's been so long since i've seen you, or hugged you, or talked to you. even though i was with you two days before you passed. its hard to believe you're in heaven now.. i'll never forget the times we shared.. there are so many i can't even remember some of them... you were always there... always at my house... jumping, climbing, playing, just being crazy... i'll never forget when you and ross would run in my room while i'd be sleeping and jump on my bed, how i'd yell at yall and tell you to leave me a lone, but ya'll would ignore me(of course) and just be smiling and laughing and talking.. and not to mention annoying the crap out of me at the time.. you have no idea how much i wish i could go back... i looked/treated you as my younger brother. and i'll never forget always seeing you at school and how you'd always yelled my name,"Ali!" and smile and wave, i'll NEVER forget that. ever. as much as i miss you and i want this to be over, i know you are in such a better place.. and now you have all the answers(to all the questions you used to ask ALL the time; even though you were ALWAYS right about EVERYTHING) haha.. i'll never forget picking you up from school and taking you home all the time..or when you and ross would think someone was in the house and run to me scared haha. those times i'll cherish in my heart forever. i'll miss you on the holidays, on the boat, at the house, at church, when i'm outside, or at the mountains, when i see a raccoon(or any animal really), i'll just miss you. and your smile. but i just wanted to say i love you caleb. and save me a spot up there. i know your smiling down on us :)

i love you Mrs. Lynn, Mr. Berry, Beck, and Ave.

Caleb,
You will be missed so much. i have have so many memories with you. i remember you loved playing with my bunnies and swimming in the pool. I will never forget that smile!

caleb,
i forget you're in Heaven sometimes..but, you were my first friend i made when i moved to the murrells inlet area, and you made what few classes we had together sososo special. i remember we used to go make durham mad by jumpin on his trampoline when he wasnt home. ha. school's been in for two days now, physically your not there, but i know that your all around us everywhere we go. i miss you a whole lot, but i do hope to join you in Heaven some day!

Coggeshall family,
im sorry. it's been about a month, and im sure it's passed like a years time. i love you so much, and you're all in my prayers. rest easy knowing he's in Heaven, running barefoot down golden paved pathways, and sitting at God's right hand! mrs lynn, you've always made an impact on me as a youth counselor. i love you!

Love from Aunt Gery

As a teacher, there are some students who just stand out. Caleb is one of those students for me. When I close my eyes and picture Caleb, I see him looking up at me with a grin on his face while hugging me. This is how he earned the nickname "Monkey Face" in fourth grade. I feel very blessed to have been a part of his life. My prayers are with your family.

I had a few classes with Caleb in middle school and saw him a lot in the halls at St James High. He made everyone around him laugh even if it was a bad day. He loved seeing people happy.

My aunt, Jo Anne Buck of Cheraw, called to tell me about your loss. I, like Susan Canipe, thought the same thing! Even though I didn't know Caleb, he does sound a lot like the Berry I remember from Cheraw Academy. You are in my thoughts and prayers during such this difficult time.

Berry and family,

My mom, Betty Canipe, called me last night to tell me about Caleb. We are so sorry. You and your family are in our prayers. I did not know Caleb but from reading the entries in the guest book he reminded of the Berry that shared classes with me at Cheraw Academy. God will be with you during this difficult time.

i only had a few classes with him my freshman year, but he was so funny and always made me laugh. so so sorry for you guys loss and i hope things get better.

love & prayers.

To the Coggeshall family,
My deepest regrets to the loss of Caleb. My parents, who live across the street, had informed me. May you have strength through family and friend in the next coming weeks.

MS. Lynn and the Coggeshall Family. Sorry for your loss. I Knew Caleb from When I used to work at Seaside Elementary. God Bless you. And take care.

Berry and Coggeshall family: We serve a God that feels every feeling you feel right now. Cling to this immovable anchor of hope. The God of the mountains is the same God of the valleys. Our Lord Reigns and he is close to the broken hearted. May strength and comfort be yours in the days to come. Our family remembers you daily in our nighttime prayers. Bun,Susan,Arthur IV,Andrew Stubbs

Coggeshall Family,
I am extremely sorry to hear about your tragedy. I went to Chyrsalis with Caleb and he was very nice to meet. May god be with you through this extremely hard time. Hope that you will feel better with much more time, and remember that God is always with you.

Berry and Coggeshall Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your families loss. May God hold each of you in his hands and help you get though this difficult time.
Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
In His Name,

Dear Berry, Lynn, Avery, and Beck,

So sorry to hear about Caleb. I will always remember him as a cute little toddler with lots of enthusiasm. He had no trouble keeping up with Avery and Beck.

May you find comfort in the Lord, family, and friends

Ms. Lynn,
My heart goes out to you at this time. Through my own losses I can feel a tiny portion of your pain and wish I could take some of it from you to carry.You taught Erin in 5th grade and I remember you as a kind soft-spoken and loving person.
We are not meant to outlive our
children so I must think God has a reason. My prayers are with you all as you struggle through this trial.
May God bless and keep you.

Ms. Lynn,
Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you and your family. I will be praying for you. Love, Teresa

Dear Coggeshall family,
my heart goes out to you in this great time of bereavement. Caleb was an amazing person. He was full of life, funny, smart, and just a joy to be around. He will be dearly missed. Just knowing you raised such an inspirational son will hopefully bring your family some peace. May God keep you strong in this time of grief. Your family is in my prayers. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Dear Coggeshall family,
Words are so hard to find at a time like this. We want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
May God Bless and Keep you , now , and in the days to come.
Glenn and Emily Marsh

Berry, Tom Rowland and I were meeting yesterday on business, and inevitably conversation turned to Caleb--who by all accounts lit the way, effortlessly and truly, for so many. God bless you and your family through all of this. The stars in heaven will light his way now. I pray they will light your life again, too, as they have so often in the past. Your friend always.

Dearest Coggeshall Family,
I was just reading an article about Steven Curtis Chapman, contemporary Christian musician who recently lost his baby daughter when one of his older children accidentally ran over her in their driveway. Please look at this website and then watch the video to get some profound words from this family of great faith:

These words really helped me and I hope they will help you, too!
Love, "Sam" Cox

Berry and Lynn,
We love you and your family and we grieve with you. Your Disciple friends,

You are all in our thoughts and prayers, God bless you in the days ahead.

Dear Coggeshall Family,
I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your son and grandson Caleb. We know of nothing in life that perpares us to go through such a sad time. Our only hope is the close ties to our friend's and family and our faith in Christ to see us through these times. In reading some of the entries in this book about Caleb, he was a very loved person and that same love will keep you going in the times to come . Our prayers are with you, may Gods peace be with you now and always.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.This was very sad to hear.It's been awhile since I've hear about anyone from Belin. I had worked there many years ago.When Caleb was a little boy,Avery and Beck where young too. When my son Dalton told me the news.I was not sure I knew who it was.But we are very sorry for your loss.

To the Coggeshall Family,

My deepest sympathies on the loss of Caleb. I cannot begin to imagine your grief. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I did not know Caleb but my son played football with him. I know the team is missing him. The Sharks will be honoring his memory before each game.

May your faith get you through this difficult time. God Bless.

WITH OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND OUR PRAYERS TO THE COGGESHALL FAMILY.

To the Coggeshall Family

I had the privilege of teaching Caleb in the seventh grade. My heart is crying with you at this time.

2Corinthians 5:1
We know that our body-the tent we live in here on earth- will be destroyed. But when that happens, God will have a house for us. It will not be a house made by human hands; instead, it will be a home in heaven that will last forever.

Dear Berry and Coggeshall Family:

I am deeply saddened and my heart truly aches for you.

I know it's been years since we've seen each other, but seems like yesterday driving together in NMB in your MGB.

Contact me via email if you need to talk. I'll come visit next time I'm in town.

Your friend always.

Sincerely,
~John

We are so sorry for your pain and we do feel it with you. T.C. was standing in line with all of Caleb's family in Heaven to welcome him with open arms!

If you ever need to talk with someone or just get a hug of empathy, we are there for you all! Love, "Sam", Bryan and Olivia Cox

Caleb, it seems like just yesterday I was meeting you for the first time way back in 2nd grade. I'm never going to forget the fun, entergetic, caring person you were. Going through elementary school, middle school, and our first two years of high school with you as a friend, that I could lean to when in need of a laugh or smile was great. You were always goofing around with Hunter and the rest of your friends to make everyone smile, and just so you could have a good time- and I'm never going to forget that. Caleb, you're going to be missed so much, but I can promise that no one will ever forget you.
love,
Kimmee Wirdzek

Lynn & Berry-
I cannot imagine what you and your family must be going through right now. I just saw Caleb several weeks ago when he was with Kevin Stevenson (my boyfriend's nephew). They stopped by our house and I could not believe that he had grown up so much! I thought to myself what a good looking guy he was and that he would definitely be breaking girl's hearts! He had the nicest manners and I remember thinking that I sure hoped that my Hunter used his manners like that when I was not around! You and Berry must be so proud to have had him as your son! I know that you all are in so much pain and experiencing so much saddness right now, but just know that you are all in a lot of people's thoughts and prayers and that you have a church family that loves you very much. I will continue to pray for your family as I know others will as well! May God Bless You all and I hope that you find comfort and peace in the days ahead!

Caleb...You brightened my day everytime our paths would cross at work. Our stories that we would share, the way you loved your Roy Rogers, and the simple fact of you just being you with those voices...work will never be the same. I will cherish these memories forever and I hope you are now at peace. My heart is breaking for your family and I send my deepest condolences.

Dear Barry and Lynn,
Our thoughts are with you.
Sincerely,
S&W Ready Mix

Berry:

Sorry to hear about your loss. I will keep you in my prayers and please call if you need anything.

Berry, Lynn and family just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Caleb is now with our precious Lord.

Dear Coggeshall Family,

DEAR BERRY AND LYNN, OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN. MANY PRAYERS ARE BEING LIFTED UP FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Berry - I was so very sorry to hear of your loss. Just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.
Bobby Stafford and Johnnie

Caleb and family,
We simply cannot believe you are no longer here. I remember when we dared you to jump into the very mucky, yucky pond behind my parents home for $20 and YOU DID IT! This was about 6 years ago, but like the Gulledges remembered, you were wild and free spirited. To your family, we are so sorry and we want you to know the entire family is in our prayers.
The Reedys

caleb, its sad to see him gone and out of the hands of his friends and family. i can remember those days when we were only in elementary school. you always had a great sense of humor, and all the brains out of the bunch. you were one bright kid. looking back at old picture really tears me up. ill miss you. We love you. Friends and family will always be in our prayers.

Ms Lynn and family:
May your happy memories of Caleb give you comfort at this sorrowful time. God Bless you all and the BCLC family. Our deepest sympathies.

Berry,
I can not tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your child. Nothing in life quite prepares you for something like this. Debbie, Tabitha and I will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

So very saddenned for all of you - will remember you all in our prayers - may you find peace and support.

RIP man....just want to let you know, your football equipment is still in the locker....we are not moving it for the rest of the season...now we touch the locker before we go out to practice. you will be missed by all of us.

Caleb... you made my day so many days. I can't thank you enough for just being you. You made spanish class and school something to look forward to everyday. I saw you at the mall a week or so ago and we said hey to each other in the strangest voices just to make each other laugh-we were always trying to see who could make who laugh more..we were about even :p

I will be with you tomorrow and everyday and I know you will be with each and every one of us, always.

You will forever be in my heart. St.James will always remember that amazing smile, that sometimes wild hari and that goofy sense of humor.

You are one of a kind Mr.Caleb.

Love,

Jade Iglesias

To Caleb's family: Your in my prayers. So many people are here for you and if you ever need anything we are always willing to help. Even though I've never met you I stand behind you las a best friend, as Caleb did for me. You raised an amazing child and my heart reaches out to you.

Caleb, I just learned your middle name was wilds, how appropriate--I remember seeing you as a boy, running through the snow barefoot, with a smile, and laughter and pure joy--wild and free...I have no doubt that you are doing the same in Heaven--barefoot! We will miss you so, our hearts and our prayers are with you always and with your family.
