Caleb Logan LeBlanc

Background

Caleb Logan LeBlanc was one of the youngest YouTube vloggers. A free spirit who loved mac and cheese and outdoor activities, he had the potential to become a prominent social media influencer. Born on July 13, 2002, LeBlanc grew up in Augusta, Georgia to parents Katie and Billy. He was the eldest of three siblings, with two younger sisters — Hayley and Annie — who are now social media stars and actresses.

When he was eight, he featured on his family’s YouTube channel named “Bratayleys” together with his siblings who were six and three years old at the time. The channel showcased their daily family life and activities. One of their earlier videos that circulated online was “The Whipped Cream Fight,” and this generated more subscribers on their YouTube channel. Because of their consistent posts and uploads, the videos showed how the kids grew up until LeBlanc turned 13 years old, and then something unexpected happened.

On October 1, 2015, a reported medical emergency was called in. A news article described the scenario as “an observed juvenile male patient suffering from an unknown medical emergency.” The U.S. Fire Department personnel transported the juvenile to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy report stated that LeBlanc suffered hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is a heart disease that often goes undetected as the person can function normally and show no symptoms. His memorial service was live-streamed on YouTube.
