For the first time, track legend Usain Bolt has publicly mourned the death of his father, Wellesley Bolt, by sharing a heartbreaking photo on his social media platforms.

On Tuesday, April 1, 2025, Jamaica Gleaner broke the news on Wellesley Bolt's death at 68 years old after prolonged illness.
Until his death, he ran a shop in Sherwood Content, Trelawny for 15 years up to 2017. He will later manage a local grocery store with his wife Jennifer, providing for their family in a community with limited resources like running water and paved roads.

Grand Slam Track Kingston: Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone sharp and ready for first-ever race in Jamaica
As more track stars arrive in Kinston for the Grand Slam Track, Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is already on ground looking in shape for her first-ever race in Jamaica.
During Usain Bolt's career as a track athlete, his dad was at his major championships apart from Beijing 2008 when he missed him winning his first Olympic 100m and 200m gold medals.
)
Despite his son's global fame, Wellesley remained rooted in Sherwood Content, resisting the urge to leave even as Usain’s success brought improvements like better infrastructure to their village.
He maintained a low profile but remained a constant and supportive presence in Usain’s life, providing the foundation upon which the sprint icon built his legacy.
