Caleb Moore, a champion snowmobiler who died after injuries suffered at the Winter X Games, will be laid to rest soon in Wheeler, according to his grandfather, Charles Moore of Wheeler.

An announcement on the website of Peppers Family Funeral Home, said funeral services for Caleb Moore are scheduled for 2 p.m. Feb. 7 in First Baptist Church in Wheeler with the burial to follow at Wheeler Cemetery.

Moore, a four-time Winter X Games medal winner, was attempting a backflip in the freestyle event on Jan. 24 in Aspen when the skis on his 450-pound snowmobile caught the lip of the landing area, sending him flying over the handlebars. Moore landed face first into the snow with his snowmobile rolling over him.

Moore developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to a hospital in Grand Junction for surgery. The family later said that Moore also had a complication involving his brain.

Moore died Jan. 31. He was 25.

He graduated half a year early from Krum High School and started traveling doing quad and snowmobile freestyle riding. Caleb and his brother, Colten practiced hours and hours perfecting his tricks by launching his sled and four-wheelers into a foam pit at home in Krum, TX.

Because of his amazing talent he rose quickly to the top, having only practiced snowmobiling for a brief time before medaling in the X Games. He was a four-time X Games medalist. Caleb was known as an innovative rider, having stated that his first back flip on an all-terrain four-wheeler at the age of 19, was the most exciting moment of his life. Caleb and his brother traveled the world and made a lasting impression on millions of lives. He had a natural passion for life and a deep love for his family and friends. Many describe Caleb as a role model for living out your dreams to the fullest. He will be missed by many worldwide.
