Sharvonne, Shamar and Ms.Micki was Kaleb’s neighbors in Woodbridge, Virginia. The first day we moved into our house, we was welcomed by Kaleb and that beautiful smile and spirit. I admired him and his brother Kobe. My son Shamar thought Kaleb was the coolest dude in the neighborhood. It was hard to see him go away to college and then go into the military. Kaleb thank you for your service to our country. We will miss seeing you, but will never forget you!!!!
Kaleb and I went to high school together, he was always smiling and was apart of the “cheer squad” for the volleyball team. May he rest peacefully for eternity, and his family find comfort in knowing how many souls he touched.
Prayers of comfort, strength, and love to our cousins during this difficult time. From the family of “Uncle” Hillman Franklin!
My condolences to the family. I didn’t know this young man, but I know his cousin Gilbert Ford. I thank God for his short service to the nation. Rest in Peace my fellow Soldier in Arms!
I live close to Amarillo airport and did not know, that was Kaleb the emergency vehicles were rushing to. God Bless
We are saddened by the loss of your beloved son. Please accept our sincere condolences at your time of bereavement.
Bernard, Rita, and Bryan Peyton
I’m so happy to have met you. Every moment when you were around you seemed to keep the mood up and make it a great time and I loved it. I can only see you smiling or laughing when thinking of you. Thank you so much for being someone my sister could open up to and be herself around as well in which I appreciate you for. You meant alot to her, but i’m sure you know that. I know you’re probably having a great time where you are now and still making everyone around you laugh. I love you dude❤️.
I want to extend my sincere condolences to you and your family. May you look to the heavens with a smile on your face and know that you have an Angel watching over you.
Kaleb and I met one summer at The House! He always kept everyone laughing with his infectious light. I’m grateful. May his light continue to shine and be amplified through his family and everyone who crossed his path. All love.
Kaleb I met you your freshman at VCU through my daughter. I had such soft soot for you and your smile and laughter. Your spirit was contagious. I know your friends and family will feel your absence forever. Prayers and grace for all. You will be missed and my heart is with your momma.
Sending my love & condolences to the entire Franklin family. Kaleb, we came into undergrad as kids and matured into adults. I’m forever grateful for the memories shared during the pivotal years of our lives. You’ll truly be missed. I love you, bro. This isn’t a goodbye but more so, I’ll see you later.
Sending my condolences to the entire Franklin family. Kaleb was my bestfriend. He was always his true authentic self, kind and VERY funny. Kaleb was a great person and put smiles on so many of our faces. I am forever grateful to have had such an amazing friend like Kaleb in my life. I love you and will truly miss you ❤️

My heart goes out to the Franklin family and all who were blessed to have known Kaleb. He was one of my “sons” who was, and will always remain dear to my heart. Kaleb and my son, Sean met in middle school and the two of them with others formed a brotherhood that remains strong. Kaleb will be sorely missed. I pray that you feel God’s embrace when you miss him the most. That so many have travelled to celebrate his life, demonstrates the impact Kaleb has had on his family, friends and the friends’ parents. We love him dearly.
Sending our condolences, thoughts & prayers to the Franklin Family.
My deepest condolences to the Franklin family. Kaleb and my son Tyler had a friendship that was true brotherhood . They were inseparable through middle school, high school and as college roommates. When you saw Kaleb, his boy Ty was not too far behind. When you saw Ty, his boy Kaleb was right there too. Thank you Tina and James for sharing Kaleb with us. Thank you for allowing him to be a part of the Giles family. Our hearts are broken, but God is a healer. I pray we all find peace in knowing that Kaleb is resting in the comfort of our God. 🕊️
John 14:2-6 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
May our Lord and Savior walk with you during this most difficult time. Peace be still.
