Fredrick "Fred" Baynard Golt, of Chesapeake, VA went to be with the Lord on Monday, July 19, 2021 at the age of 33. Making his appearance on October 29, 1987, Fred was the 8th of 10 children born to David and Devora Golt. He was a graduate of Oscar Smith High School where he participated in Wrestling, Golf, and Football. Fred earned his Associate's Degree at Tidewater Community College and worked as a Hazmat Field Technician. His life completely changed when he became a father. Fred's greatest loves were his 2 beautiful children, son, Thomas and daughter, Devon. He was viewed as the strong, kind and silly Uncle Freddy by his 9 nieces and 10 nephews. Fred had a passion for retaining knowledge and schooling everyone in trivia and Jeopardy, where his siblings often fought to have him on their team. He enjoyed music, playing guitar, and telling jokes as a favorite pastime of his. Fred relished in simpleness and solitude and was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile, and compassionate spirit. Fred will always be remembered as a "gentle giant" and was loyal to and protective of those he loved. Fred was a loving father, kindhearted son, an amazing brother, playful uncle and caring friend. He was welcomed at Heaven's gate by his nephew Callen, grandparents, aunts and uncles that have gone before him.

Rhoads (Don), Brandy R. Dolt (Chad), Samantha N. Golt, Tabetha M. Miller (Jon), and Faith L. Price; brothers, David A. Golt, Jr. and Levi T. Golt.; and a host of other family and friends.
