Caleb James Milton, born Tuesday, January 14, 1997, in Covington, LA, was a lifelong resident of Ponchatoula, LA. Caleb left this earth on Saturday, November 15, 2025, doing what he loved—riding his Harley-Davidson. Caleb was the center of his mother’s world and cherished by his family and friends. Caleb lived his life with passion and adventure, embracing every moment to the fullest. His life was deeply rooted in family and the outdoors. Growing up in the swamp, he shared countless memories hunting and fishing with his Poppa Hayden and uncles Hayden and Blake. His love for the open road and his Harley-Davidson was unmatched—a true reflection of his free spirit. Caleb had a special bond with his biker family, with whom he shared countless rides, stories, and good memories. Their loyalty and friendship brought him joy, adventure, and a true sense of brotherhood.
Music was the rhythm of his life, a steady beat that carried him through the good times and the hard ones. Those who loved him will always hear him in the songs he cherished. Caleb had a special kind of love for Eminem. As he once expressed in the song “When I’m Gone,” the hardest part of leaving is realizing just how deeply you are loved—and Caleb was loved beyond measure.
Caleb’s love and spirit will always be carried in the hearts of those who loved him. As George Strait reminds us in his song “Carrying Your Love With Me,” love never leaves—it stays with us wherever we go.
His vibrant personality, adventurous soul, and unwavering love for family will forever be remembered by all who loved him. As the lyrics of “Free Bird” remind us, Caleb’s spirit now soars—forever free.
Ride free, Caleb.
