A lively, gregarious, outgoing boy; he was known by his friends and family as ambitious and ready for anything.

He is survived by his parents, Mark and Mary Call, his sister Madeline, maternal grandparents Pete and Beverley Wells, Aunts Linda (Ruben) Payan, Nancy (David) Dillon, and cousins Shawn, Ruben, and Peter.
