In the days following, Sloan family friend Jim Cahill sought a way to honor Calder's outgoing spirit. Cahill decided to share a self-portrait Calder had recently drawn, entitled "Mr. Awesome" (his Dad's nickname for him) on his Facebook page and asked his friends to post pictures of themselves on adventures with "Mr. Awesome."
