Obituary for Caleb VanHooser
Caleb VanHooser, age 19, of Liberty Twp., OH, was tragically taken from us Sunday, August 21, 2022 in Riley, Indiana
He was born February 7, 2003 in Monongahela, PA the son of Amanda (Roscoe) Bright.
Caleb was a recent 2022 graduate of Lakota East High School in Liberty Township, OH. It was there that Caleb worked hard both in the classroom and on the field. As a member of the Thunderhawk's football and track and field teams, he cultivated his athletic abilities and was able to achieve a full scholarship to Indiana State University and join their football program.
Beyond sports, Caleb was taking up a major in biology with the dream of one day becoming a dentist.
Caleb had a shining light around him. He was referred as that kid; full of life; phenomenal athlete; respectful; and a really great kid. His passing has left a deep void not only for his family, but his friends, teammates, teachers, and coaches as well.
Caleb was an example of how a young man should be and was on the path of hard work and success.
