“He wasn’t perfect, but he loved his family and his daughters more than anything,” his wife, Jessica Wallace, said at the Go Fund Me anchor site. Caleb was 30 at the time of his death and was awaiting the birth of his fourth daughter.
Wallace became famous in the United States and much of the world after, on July 4, 2020, he organized a protest in the city of San Angelo, Texas, to protest against the use of mouthguards and containment measures such as business closures, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
He was a co-founder of the San Angelo Freedom Defenders
With this step the San Angelo Freedom Defenders group was born, the stated goal on Facebook was to “educate and empower citizens to make informed decisions about local, state and national politics and to encourage them to actively participate in their duty to ‘to secure the rights granted by God and constitutionally protected’.
Dangerous “conspiracy theories” that reject scientific evidence were reinforced around his speech, encouraging practices that, in fact, endanger public health. Among them, the rejection to the efficiency of the covrebocas like measure of protection against the circulation of the COVID-19 in the air that breathes.

And it is that Caleb Wallace was so persistent in his opposition to public policy to deal with the pandemic that he refused to undergo a test when he began to feel ill, last July 26. At first, he was also opposed to going to the hospital, he introduced his wife in one interview with The New York Times .
“I didn’t want to see a doctor, because I didn’t want to be part of the COVID-19 test statistics,” his wife said, according to the newspaper News of the day .
