Gordan Kent Caleb

Gordan Kent Caleb, 73, passed away on November 6, 2026, leaving behind a family who loved him dearly and a lifetime of memories that will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

Gordan was born on March 18, 1953, in Topeka, Kansas, to Fred and Leta Caleb, who preceded him in death.

A husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Gordan was a man who understood the importance of hard work, family, and providing for the people he loved. He worked hard throughout his life, taking pride in doing what needed to be done to care for his family. His love was reflected not only in the things he said, but in the sacrifices he made, the responsibilities he carried, and the life he worked so hard to provide for those closest to him.

When Gordan wasn't working, he enjoyed spending time doing the things he loved most. Hunting and fishing gave him an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and the simple pleasures of life. He was also a loyal Kansas City Chiefs fan who enjoyed sitting back and watching his team take the field. Whether enjoying the outdoors or cheering on his Chiefs, Gordan knew how to appreciate the things that brought him happiness.

Above all, family was an important part of Gordan's life. He leaves behind his loving wife, Debra Layne Caleb; his children, Matt (Sarah) Caleb, Michelle Caleb, and Megan Martin; and his grandchildren, Laine Caleb, Kendall St. Clair, and Conley St. Clair, who will carry his memory forward.

He is also survived by his brothers, Gerye Caleb (Brenda) and Brett Caleb (Dixie); his sisters, Pam Bolinger (Mike) and Cindy Pippert; along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who were fortunate to have shared in his life.

Gordan's passing leaves an emptiness that cannot be filled, but the memories he created and the love he gave will remain. He will be remembered for his hard work, his love of the outdoors, his loyalty to his family, and the life he built through years of dedication and commitment.

A life is not measured only by the years we are given, but by the lives we touch, the family we build, and the memories we leave behind. Gordan's greatest legacy will live on in the family he loved and the countless memories they will cherish.

He will be deeply missed, forever loved, and never forgotten.
