In Loving Memory of Caleb Lee Colwell
June 14, 1996 – November 15, 2024
It is with profound heartbreak that the family of Caleb Lee Colwell announces his passing on November 15, 2024, in Manhattan, New York. Caleb was deeply loved by all who knew him, and his absence leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of his family and friends.
Caleb grew up well-loved as a sweet and wondrous child in Minnesota, New York, and Massachusetts. He attended Assabet Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School and later earned his diploma at Brooklyn Preparatory High School, a testament to his perseverance.
A natural writer, Caleb was seldom without a notebook, capturing poetry, lyrics, and reflections. He excelled at reading, often immersing himself in books that sparked his curiosity and imagination. His artistic pursuits extended beyond words, as he explored music, photography, and modeling, where his youthful energy and creative spirit shone through.
He found joy in skateboarding, a passion that brought light to his life and a sense of connection to the world around him. Baptized at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Southborough, Massachusetts, Caleb's meaningful connection to his faith brought moments of grounding and peace throughout his life.
He leaves behind a heartbroken yet proud family, including his mother, Sally May; his sisters, Marta and Zoey; his grandmother, Marta; his aunt Elaine and her family; and his nephews, Levi, River, and Raven. Caleb is also survived by his father, Tarek; his grandfather, Philip; and a wide circle of loved ones, all of whom will hold his memory close.
May Caleb's memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him. His radiant smile, creative spirit, and gentle heart live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Caleb's life reminds us to seek beauty in small moments, cherish the connections we share, and honor the joy he brought to the world. Though his time with us was far too short, his love and light will continue to inspire all who carry his memory.
A wake to honor Caleb's life is planned for Thursday, November 21, 2024, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the John Krtil Funeral Home, located at 1297 1st Avenue (at 70th Street) in Manhattan, New York.
Thank you for honoring Caleb's life and supporting his family with love during this difficult time.

She created lasting memories with each generation, making everyone feel loved and valued. She is survived by her three children and three grandchildren: Her daughter, Carolann Nardella; her son Anthony Nardella (wife Nicole); and daughter Andrea Nardella; and grandsons, Luke, Will, and Jake Nardella.
