Remembering Callum MCGOOKIN
To know Callum was to know joy, laughter, and a kindness that stayed with you long after he left the room. While our hearts are heavy, we want this space to look forward—focusing on the immense love he left behind and the legacy we are determined to build for him.
This site is our community headquarters for honoring Callum. We will be using it to share updates, coordinate support and meals for the family, organize his Celebration of Life, and lay the groundwork for a foundation in his name.
We invite you to lean in with us. Share your favorite photos, write down your fondest memories in the comments, and help us wrap his family in love. Callum gave us so much; now, it’s our turn to carry his piece of the world forward.

The Gold Ribbon Project
To commemorate Callum’s beautiful life and the lasting mark he left on our community, we are launching an effort to tie gold ribbons around mailboxes, posts etc. throughout town. These ribbons will serve as a daily, community-wide reminder of his bright spirit and our shared love for his family.
We warmly invite any neighbors, friends, and community members to join us in placing these ribbons.
Thank you for helping us keep Callum's memory beautifully present in the town he called home.
