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.Survivors: parents, Eric and Tanya Mathison; younger sisters, Liahona Pearl Mathison; Tamara Jade Mathison; little brother, Montey Jaycob Mathison; grandparents, Don and Christine Mathison; Keith and Nancy Brooks; a large extended family including many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
This cute little boy will forever have a special place in our hearts. He was full of light and energy and patience and love. I know he will always be helping my little boy grow up, until they can run and play ball once more...
These cute primary kids sang beautifully for the Mathisons, even Dylan was able to sing. Children are amazing, may we all learn and follow their faith.
going to say our last goodbyes to Caleb...

OK, that pic of Dylan with the casket really did it to me. I am so sad that our Dylan had to experience this, but grateful for his strength and that he has such support around him too. He looks so grown up in his suit..Dylan, we are so proud of you and love you ever so much.

I am so sorry for Caleb's family, Dylan and all of you. Isn't it such a blessing to have the gospel?! How his family will miss him, though, in the meantime. Love and kisses,

Thank you Amy for posting a special something for Caleb. I still can't seem to believe this, I probably won't for a very long time, it just doesn't seem real. But thank you for doing more than your share of being there for us. Your family was definately heaven sent.
