Caleb Simons, Age 23, was born on October 12, 2002. He graduated from Paris High School in 2021. Caleb was baptized on May 5, 2024, in the San Saba River in Brady, Texas.

Though his time of service was brief, Caleb proudly served as a Private First Class in the United States Army. He carried that pride with him and held a deep respect for serving his country.

Caleb loved spending time with his family and friends and will be remembered for the moments they shared together. He also loved soccer and played for many years. He was a cowboy at heart

and loved spending time on the Wallace’s ranch, a place that meant so much to him that he chose to be baptized in the river there. Wrangler jeans, cowboy boots, and a big belt buckle were his simple style.

He is survived by his mother, Garnetta Deniene Simons; his father, Ademole Olatunji; his brother, Jacob Simons; his grandparents, Ernie Nellon Sr. and Carolyn Nellon; and a host of family members and loved ones.

Caleb will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
