Usain Bolt’s father, Wellesley dies at 68

Published on April 01, 2025 at 04:34 PM

Wellesley, the father of Usain Bolt, has died at the age of 68, according to the UK Independent.

The father of three passed away on Monday in Jamaica after a long illness.

Wellesley ran a grocery store alongside his wife Jennifer and maintained a low profile.

However, he played a crucial role in Usain's career, as he rose to become an eight-time Olympic gold medallist.

“I join with every Jamaican in extending my deepest and most sincere condolences to Usain Bolt, his beloved mother Mrs. Jennifer Bolt, and the entire Bolt family, following the passing of their patriarch, Mr. Wellesley Bolt.

“Mr. Bolt was the father of a global icon, and a strong, quiet force behind one of Jamaica’s greatest sons. His presence, support, and guidance helped to shape a legacy that continues to inspire the world,” Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Andrew Holness, wrote on social media.

Wellesley is survived by his wife Jennifer and three children, Usain, Sadiki and Christine Bolt-Hylton.
