On the surface, Caleb was a skateboarder. In fact, it was skateboarding that led to him meet several of his lifelong friends, friends that describe him as family. <br \/>But as Alex Taylor Marandola says, her friend of nine years was not just a skateboarder, he was someone people relied on for support. <br \/>&#8220;Caleb was always just like so upbeat, always kept the mood alive, had everyone&#8217;s backs,&#8221; said Taylor-Marandola. <br \/>Taylor-Marandola learned how supportive Caleb could be first-hand when he and his family took her in. <br \/>&#8220;I was going through a rough time and Caleb and his mom opened up to me, their house, so I wouldn&#8217;t have to be alone at such a young age,&#8221; she added. <br \/>25 News has reached out to the Bureau County Coroner to check on the progress of the autopsy, but the coroner has yet to respond. Princeton Police say the investigation and search for person of interest Davijon Robinson continues. He was last seen in Kewanee.<br \/>And as law enforcement continues their efforts, Taylor-Marandola says she and everyone who knew Caleb are still struggling to accept that he is really gone. <br \/>&#8220;I think every morning we wake up and we still want to believe that it&#8217;s a dream and we&#8217;re gonna wake up from it,&#8221; said Taylor-Marandola. <br \/>Mostly cloudy skies and a light northerly breeze will limit heating Monday, so look for highs to only warm into the low to mid 70s.
