Joshua “Caleb” Gore

On March 29, 2023, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, United States Army Staff Sergeant Joshua “Caleb” Gore, was among nine soldiers killed during a military training exercise.

Gore graduated from West Carteret High School with the class of 2015 with his involvement in ROTC that provided a strong foundation for his life career in the US Army.

Gore was a dedicated soldier who cared deeply for his fellow soldiers, understanding the value of trust and establishing genuine relationships with them. Taking on the role of mentor for others, his leadership and strong values were an inspiration to all. After obtaining his paramedic certification, Gore pursued further critical care training and was proud to become a certified flight paramedic at the end of 2021. Fellow soldiers in his unit often said he was a walking medical dictionary, filled with valuable knowledge.

Gore loved going to the gym and especially enjoyed being outside, fishing, hiking, kayaking, and enjoying the beauty of nature. Gore’s other interests included reading which contributed to his brilliant mind.

On June 10, 2017, Gore married his high school sweetheart, Haleigh. He loved her deeply and treasured spending time with her, valuing the life they had together. He loved his dogs, Rocky and Willow, who were truly man’s best friend, and was happy to lounge on the couch with them.

Gore was a beacon of light whose smile was infectious, lighting up the room and encouraging everyone he encountered. He had a heart of gold, he was a humble, happy, kind, compassionate, gentle giant, and a hardworking young man whose beautiful memory will remain in the hearts of everyone he touched.

United States Army Staff Sergeant Joshua “Caleb” Gore is survived by his wife, Haleigh, and their son, Dallas.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation has paid off the mortgage of the Gore family home through the Gold Star Family Home Program.
