Trooper Caleb Starr

Michigan State Police Trooper Caleb Starr of the Lakeview Post died July 31 of injuries suffered when he was struck by a drunk driver while on-duty on July 10, 2020.

Trooper Starr was 33 years old. He is survived by his wife, Rachael, who is a civilian member of the MSP, and their two young daughters.

“He was a dad, he was a husband, he was a patriot, he was a protector,”

In April 2019, Caleb graduated as a member of the 135th Trooper Recruit School and was assigned to the Lakeview Post near Ionia, Michigan. Here he served under the command of Lieutenant Chris Clute.
Caleb was stationed out of the Lakeview Post for roughly one-and-a-half years. His co-workers described him as intelligent, having a great sense of humor, advanced beyond his age, patient, wise, and humble. Lieutenant Clute described Caleb as an amazing trooper, refreshing to work with, and the best rookie he had ever seen.

Although Caleb was proud to have achieved his lifelong dream to become a Michigan State Police Trooper, he was even more proud to be a father and would often tease that if life circumstances had allowed, he may have preferred to be a stay-at-home father and husband. Caleb understood the value of a father figure in a child’s life and went out of his way to always be there for “his girls”. Whether it was reading books, coloring, playing board games, riding bikes, play-acting princess tea parties, or exploring local parks, Caleb made sure to be right there alongside them. On those days he worked, Caleb always stopped by their daycare to give them a hug and kiss goodbye despite an hour-long commute followed by a twelve-hour night shift. No matter how busy he was, Caleb always made sure to fill his family with joy and always never missed an opportunity to tell his family how much he loved them and appreciated them.”
