Born in Newton to his loving parents, Shane Barretto and Heather Hardick, Kaleb had lived in Sussex County his entire life, his obituary says.
Kaleb “had a heart of gold and he cared and loved for everyone,” according to a GoFundMe launched by his best friend, David Robinson.
“Many of us know about Kaleb’s unexpected death,” Robinson writes. “He meant so much to people everyone loved him.”
More than $1,200 had been raised as of Thursday.
Kaleb leaves behind a host of other friends and family members, including his sister, Jordyn Faber; his maternal grandmother, Laurie Guadagno; his uncle, Jason Guadagno; and many more. He was predeceased by a baby brother, Joey Schreiber.
Meanwhile, several of those close to Kaleb took to Facebook to share heartbreaking tributes following his sudden passing:
“You were big-hearted and had a kind soul,” Memphis Hogan writes. “You always knew how to make everyone around you happy [and] your laugh was contagious…”
Kaleb’s memorial will be held at Pinkel Funeral Home in Sussex on Saturday, Dec. 17.
“He was a really good kid,” reads the fundraiser. “It is so sad to say that he is gone but he will forever be with us.”
