CALEB
DE BECKER Our sweet angel, Caleb Alexander de Becker, nine, passed
peacefully from this life Feb. 15, 2013. He was born May 7, 2003. He is
the beloved son of Brian Alexander de Becker and Leah Dawn Schlauder,
and the beloved brother of Olivia and Tiana de Becker. Caleb's whole
life was filled with laughter, joy and silliness. He will be remembered
by all who knew and loved him as the sweet little boy whose innocence
and purity was parallel to the amount of love (and many kisses) that he
constantly gave to others. Amidst the challenge of having a devastating
disease since birth, he seemed to walk through life worry free. He
taught the meaning of happiness with every laugh and shared sincere love
with every smile. His heart knew no bounds in this life and will have
no limits throughout eternity. He continues to touch our lives through
his legacy every day. Caleb was a constant example of goodness and
purity throughout his life. We have been blessed with the opportunity to
serve him in what seems like such small ways. We never heard him
complain. He only ever smiled...his sweet smile that taught all of us
how God's grace can be shown in the life of a small child. In his short
nine years, he shared more love than most will ever know in an entire
lifetime. Caleb was surrounded by love to his last breath as he passed
from this life to the next, where he is surrounded by his loved ones who
have preceded him. "Caleb, we love you more than all the stars in the
sky. We so look forward to the day when we will reunite with you as a
family forever." Caleb was preceded in death by his mother, Leah Dawn
Schlauder; and great-grandparents, Colleen Huntington and Janet and
Arthur Schlauder. He is survived by all of his grandparents, whom he
loved and adored, Linda and Terry Shoemaker, Allyn and Linda Schlauder,
and Hal de Becker Sr. Caleb is also survived by his aunts and uncles,
Hal and Karla de Becker, Jennie and Chad Slade, Ally and Steve Carter,
Amber Schlauder, Amy Schlauder, Douglas and Jericho de Becker, Belinda
de Becker, and Gavin de Becker; and his many cousins, who love and miss
him very much, Taylor, Kaden, Jackson, Kate, Levi, Kai, Renaissance,
Nastazja and Felix. Services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19, at Our
Lady of Las Vegas Catholic Church, 3050 Alta Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89107.
