CALEB McCOOL

Robert “Caleb” McCool passed away on September 28, 2023, in Columbus, MS. Caleb was born to Jessica Renea McCool in Columbus, MS on September 6, 2006.

To know Caleb was to love him.  He was a multi-faceted young man with many passions.
Among those passions was a love for hunting, fishing, working on his go-karts, working on his trucks, and just being a true outdoorsman.  Caleb’s favorite vehicle to work on was his 1996 Chevrolet S10 which he named Ruby.  Caleb was an old soul, that loved history, old school rock and roll, and older country music.  Caleb was raised in a loving home and possessed a tender heart of gold.  Caleb had a smile that would light up the world and a willingness to help anyone in need.  Caleb was country strong, clever, intelligent, talented, and a problem solver.  Caleb had just made the National Junior Helice team under the tutelage of Xavier Fairley, whom he adored and admired.  Recently, Caleb spent time traveling around the U.S. with his mother competing in shooting competitions.  He especially loved honing his shooting skills with his friends Bentley Ferguson, Ethan Sappington, and the other helice shooters at Prairie Wildlife.  The family would like to acknowledge and thank their extended family at Prairie Wildlife with special acknowledgment to Jimmy Bryan.   Caleb was enrolled at Heritage Academy and attended school there from Kindergarten to his Junior Year.  Caleb’s Heritage Academy family meant a lot to him.  Caleb had many pets, but cats held a special place in his heart.  Caleb enjoyed rescuing stray cats and giving them a loving home.  Caleb loved to travel and experience everything life had to offer.  His most special trips were the trips he made to Disney World and the Disney Cruises he went on with his mother.  Caleb’s other favorite trips were the many vacations he took with his Nana and Pop to Gatlinburg, TN.  Caleb touched so many lives and his memory will be cherished by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Caleb leaves behind many family members and friends to honor his memory including his mother Jessica McCool Cunningham, stepfather Bill Cunningham, maternal grandparents Bobby & Laura McCool, aunt & uncle Jennifer & Chris Costas, cousins Chloe & Evelyn Costas, Great Grandparents; J.T. and Dean White, paternal grandmother, Tammy Parkerson, and countless friends and family members.
