Caleb Rooker

Caleb Rooker passed away on December 5, 2024, in Giles County, Tennessee. Born on April 16, 1999, in Columbia, Tennessee, Caleb was the beloved son of Chris and Diana Rooker.

An avid outdoorsman, Caleb found his greatest joys in nature. He loved wading in the river, fishing, hunting, and setting up deer cameras to observe wildlife in their element. Caleb also enjoyed camping, canoeing, and floating along Tennessee’s rivers. His love for the outdoors was matched only by his affection for his dogs and his family, whom he cherished deeply. In his freetime, he enjoyed working on his truck, Ole Blue as it was his pride and joy. 

Caleb was a proud supporter of the Tennessee Volunteers and a fan of NASCAR, relishing trips to Talladega and time spent rooting for his favorite drivers.

He leaves behind a family who will forever hold his memory close: his parents, Chris and Diana Rooker; sisters Kelsey Rooker (Justin McQueen) and Kayley Rooker; niece Ryleigh McQueen; grandparents Zenita Castile, Rita Benderman, and Jan and Jerry Rooker; aunt: Kim Foster, aunt: Lisa Hill, uncle and aunt:Michael and Jenny Haddock, and aunt and uncle: Christi and Alan Hooper, and a host of extended family members including several cousins. 

Caleb is reunited in peace with his grandfather, Larry Foster, and his uncle, Mark Sisson.

His family invites all who loved Caleb to join in celebrating his life. A life rooted in the beauty of nature and the bonds of love, Caleb will be deeply missed but fondly remembered.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, December 10, 2024 from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Williams Funeral Home in Mount Pleasant, Tennessee. A private burial will take place at a later date.
