ALBANY, Ga. — The Albany community is grieving the loss of a 20-year-old apprentice lineman who was killed in a workplace accident Wednesday.
Caiden Gibson joined the city’s Utility Operations Department in September 2024 and had been working there less than two years at the time of his death. He is survived by a fiancée and a young child.
City officials confirmed Gibson’s death but did not disclose the circumstances of the accident. An investigation into what happened is underway.
Friends launched a GoFundMe campaign to help offset funeral costs, describing Gibson as someone who made an impression on everyone around him. “He was a hardworking lineman, a loyal friend, and someone who brought strength, laughter, and heart everywhere he went. To know him was to love him… Rest easy, brother,” they wrote.
Details about the accident have not been released, and the city’s investigation remains ongoing.
