    I wanted to say thank you for getting this out more. I had known Caleb and his family since I was a boy, I even worked at MFD with Caleb and Melissa when they first met. He was a great guy and his two boys came first before anything in his life. He had a great relationship with his parents. His mother and father were great as well, they would be the first to offer anything you needed. Melissa was crazy from the start including how she use to tell Caleb how she couldn't have kids of her own due to medical issues and she wanted to adopt. This had a special place in his heart because he could give some child a life like he was given, but months later... She was pregnant. Watching Caleb become a father was... Next level. Being a father was his dream, he put his family and boys before everything and everyone. Melissa on the other hand didn't like the fact that the boys were now the centre of attention and the boys idolized their father. Caleb was never a huge drinker till she kicked him out and tried to take the kids from him. Sure he would have a few drinks from time to time like any of us but never like he did after that. Her taking the kids crushed him. And Chris stepped into the picture within days of her kicking Caleb out. Chris was manipulated by her from the start, he was easily distracted as a meathead... Just a big guy without to much of anything else. That poor guy was seduced by her and manipulated into doing her bidding. I hope the boys never want to see Melissa again even though she's their mother. I wish we had the death penalty here so Melissa and Chris would both hang. Chris for doing it and her for being the puppet Master behind all of it, she is the true face of evil. RIP Caleb lord knows you are hanging out with Bret Hart, the giant and all the rest of the WWE

    Caleb's actions are ultimately his own. It cannot be excused that he killed someone in a drunk driving accident.
    However it should be noted, his children's custody was taken away from him and he spent time in jail for was most likely a false accusation of domestic violence. I don't make that claim lightly, but given Melissa's track record of false allegations following his accident it seems likely that the previous ones were probably false as well.
    With that said, I could understand why he would fall into depression and drinking. Again, his actions are completely his own, he chose to get in the car while intoxicated. But Melissa helped him get there.
    What a terrible person, this was a hard story hear

      His actions were his own, and no one forced to make gunpoint. There are still other factors to be considered.
      The circumstances leading up to his choice are an explanation, not an excuse.
