Our hearts are aching for those who knew Caleb Bankston.
The Survivor: Blood vs. Water contestant tragically lost his life on Tuesday when a Birmingham, Alabama train he was working on derailed.
As if it wasn’t horrific enough, the Alabama Warrior Railway worker was due to marry his co-star and fiance Colton Cumbie this October.
While Colton’s tweets are private, fellow Twitter users reported that Colton wrote:
“I just wish it was me….”
*TEARS*
And we wish we could hug you, Colton!!!
Based on the responses from his other former castmates, Caleb was dearly beloved and will be deeply missed.
