Sammy “Bo” Caldwell, 72  peacefully departed this world on August 6, 2024. He was born on January 30, 1952, to Samuel and Norma Jean Caldwell in Danville, KY. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by a granddaughter Natalie Grace Caldwell.

He was a 1970 Danville High School graduate and a dedicated Meter Technician at Kentucky Utilities, where he found fulfillment in his work. Besides his family, his great love was music, whether playing with friends or listening to records, playlists, or CDs, music was always present in his life. Sammy enjoyed supporting the Boyle County Band and spent his free time hunting for treasures in antique malls. His love for Secretariat, the legendary racehorse, knew no bounds.

He is survived by his loving spouse, Joan Caldwell, his children Stephanie Shawn (Rob) Cloyd and Ben (Kasey) Caldwell, as well as his brother, David Caldwell and his grandchildren Ayden Samuel Cloyd, Delaney Gayle Cloyd, and Avery Li Caldwell, and numerous cousins. Sammy’s memory will forever be cherished by his family, friends, and everyone who knew him.

A Funeral Service will be at 3 p.m., Monday, August 12, 2024, at Stith Funeral Home in Danville with Rev. Greg Hancock officiating.  Visitation will be from 1 – 3 p.m., Monday, August 12, 2024, prior to the service.

Memorial donations are suggested to the Danville-Boyle County Humane Society.

Though he may be no longer physically present, Sammy’s spirit will live on in music, the memories he created, and the love he shared with those around him. May he rest in peace.

  1. I’m so sorry for Bo’s family. He was one of my best friends in our childhood. My heart goes out to you.

    • I am so thankful to be Sammy’s cousin,Jim so many great memories. In 1969 Sammy did my drafting drawings. I worked at Montgomery’s Gulf and didn’t have any time to do them. When I was twelve, I borrowed a .410 shot shotgun and got basically arrested by railroad detective Ben Bray. I was so scared, and I thought he was going to confiscate the shotgun. Many great memories when Sammy met Joan!
      My deepest heart felt sympathy for his family 🥲. And, man did he love the Moody Blues. Rest in peace my brother.

  10. We are so sorry to learn of Bo’s passing. We loved having you both as neighbors for so many years (and then Shawn and her family). Bo was so funny and a great addition to all of our class reunions. When I think of Bo I always remember the time we came home after my Dad passed away and Bo had come over and mowed the yard for us. That was the kind of man he was. Doing the little things to make people feel better. Hugs to all of you.

  19. During the last gathering in June of K.U. family and friends, I had the pleasure of standing beside Sammy for our group picture. As usual, we laughed a lot. Sure will miss this fella.
