The Bakersfield community is very sad after the death of 25-year-old Caleb Bolton. He was known for his warm smile and kindness. His sudden death from a tragic accident has left his loved ones shocked and struggling to understand how someone so full of life could be gone so quickly.
Friends say Caleb made people feel at home. He often greeted neighbors with a wave while holding a can of iced tea, a small detail many now say they will never forget. He loved the outdoors, spending weekends fishing, hiking, or sitting quietly by the water to enjoy the sun.
Caleb was born and raised in Bakersfield. He was a loyal friend and devoted family member. His brother, Britt Horton, shared emotional messages online, saying the loss feels “impossible.” Many in the community share this pain, calling Caleb a “shining light” and “the kind of friend everyone wishes they had.”
Social media is full of photos, memories, and tributes from those who knew him. Hashtags honoring Caleb are spreading as people express their sorrow and support for his family.
A memorial service will be announced soon as Bakersfield gets ready to honor Caleb’s life and the impact he made.
