Caleb came to our family June 23rd, 2001. While we were poor students attending Rick's College. Having a little newborn baby to take care of seemed to be overwhelming. If only babies could come with their own manuals, it would make things so much easier and less stressful. But his special presence gave us a real reason to live and be alive. He gave us our true purpose, of why we are here... to be in families, to grow and learn and help each other, as we grow closer to the Lord together.
Going from being single, then newlyweds, then to being parents all within 1 year, were each huge obsticles in themselves. But to know our real purpose, that's completely priceless, of which we will forever be grateful of all the growth and knowledge and strength we have received from learning from our first child. Nothing will take away those joys and precious memories that bonded us together from day one, when we held him at the hospital. Life stood still, as we lived on cloud 9 being our own family, greeting our son who finally came into our lives. There was so much joy, there was so much happiness, there was so much love.... Caleb you will Always, Always, Always be loved!

Obituary
Caleb Luccas Mathison, 8, of Lincoln, returned to live with his Heavenly Father early Tuesday (8/25/09) with his parents by his side, after sustaining injuries from a car accident. He was born on (06/23/01) in Rexburg, Idaho, to Eric and Tanya (Brooks) Mathison. Caleb was a new member of the boy scouts and was riding with his mother on Monday as they were searching for the Boy Scout office in Walton to purchase his scout shirt and Cub Scout book. He was a very happy, active boy and had just finished his first year in baseball through the YMCA, where his dad helped coach his team. He loved soccer and played two seasons in Lincoln with Capital Soccer Association. Caleb was proud to have passed his swim test at the YMCA and spent many hours swimming with family and friends. When he wasn't playing team sports, Caleb enjoyed challenging his mom and dad to games of soccer and baseball in the backyard. Caleb was a helpful, obedient big brother and son, and his big smile found a place in many hearts. While his experience on this earth was short, Caleb's spirit will live on with those who love him most, as we know families can be together forever.
