Someone has Caleb's lungs, which he used with gusto to sing in a Christian band, worship at his church and to yell out and run as a soccer player for Harrison Central High.
Other strangers received his heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas and even his skin tissue in the fast-paced process of organ recovery, delivery and transplant surgery.
Caleb had an aneurysm or similar episode the day before Christmas Eve. He suffered two strokes; the second left him brain dead. His parents had never discussed organ donations, but made the decision after he was placed on life support at a Memphis hospital. His organs were removed and the ventilator was turned off Christmas Day.
