Caleb Ashley, age 29, of Royal, Arkansas, sadly left us on July 10, 2024 in Royal due to a tragic 4-wheeler accident.
Caleb was born at St. Joe Hospital in Hot Springs, Arkansas, 71913, on December 28, 1994. His parents are Todd and Sheila Ashley. He has four siblings and a life long list of school friends. Along the way Caleb has touched the hearts of many and gained so many more friends over the years.
Caleb has the biggest heart that anyone could ask for. He didn’t care if it was pouring down rain or snowing knee deep, if you needed him, then he was there for you. Caleb never got married. Caleb graduated from Lake Hamilton school district.
Caleb went to work immediately after high school by working three jobs, Sonic, Burger King and Express Boats. Express Boats is where he learned how to build boats and Mig and Tig welding. He left Express Boats and was presently employed at Radius Aerospace. Caleb had the best work ethic and wanted to take care of his family. Caleb never met a stranger. He was constantly smiling and cracking jokes.
Caleb lived with his oldest sister Courtney for several years and was currently living with Mom and Dad. His dream was to buy a ton of property, enough land for all of his family to move to, build his log cabin, along with his shop, and build and restore his favorite cars.
The military was never lucky enough to experience Caleb. He was an avid gamer and loved playing Call of Duty, Rainbow 6, and Grand Theft Auto. He loved hunting and fishing with his Dad, nieces and nephews. He liked working out at the gym with his friends.
Caleb was raised Southern Baptist and attended Royal First Baptist Church a lot when he was a child. Caleb was so excited to be going into a family construction business with his Dad, Todd Ashley. The two were naming it “No Limits Construction”.
