    Kaleb was an Angel. He truly changed my life for the better. I know he fought battles that weren’t his to fight, Now he doesn’t have to fight those battles . He’s completely healed, he won’t have to take medication the rest of his life ( that was one of his biggest fears) God’s ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. He once told me “ paradise isn’t reached until we’re 6 foot down” today he is in paradise. He was a wonderful father to his little boy. It made me so happy to hear when they were together. Until we meet again my weirdo, I love you ❤

    I had Kaleb for 1 year at SCCA. He was in my math class. I enjoyed watching his mind work "outside the box". Such a great loss! My love and condolences to the family!

    I remember growing up with kaleb on the fair grounds yearly, I always looked forward to seeing what the bierbaum boys had been up to over the year since we didn’t get to see each other besides then. we always had some crazy fun going on or were stuffing our faces with some of the best fair food. he was an amazing young man who definitely has people that love and will miss him very much. my condolences to every single person in the family.

    Kaleb was a very nice young man, i worked with him at McDonalds in Mitchell. I actually stole Kaleb's phone one night at got my now husband's number from him and that's how we started our relationship. Our first date was with Kaleb and Shayla, after Denny's we ventured over to Walmart where him & Wes had several lightsaber fights, we then normally went back to Kara's and then parted our ways until the next day! We were just kids having fun! Kaleb and me talked all the time I will most definitely miss his goof laugh & his personality forever! my heart goes out to his parents & brother & Eddie! I will forever hold all the memories we all had. I love you Kaleb & thank you for your memories & most importantly Thank you for being you ! love you bub!
