Frederick James Lockhart

September 29, 1967 - April 21, 2020

On Tuesday, April 21, 2020, Frederick James Lockhart left this world and went to be with family and friends that have passed before him. He left several of us here that now have a huge void in our hearts that will always be empty. Fred is survived by his wife Tamara Bierbaum-Lockhart, son Daniel Lockhart (Lisa) and son Noah Lockhart, his two grandsons that he so loved and was so proud of, Isaiah and Maverick Lockhart. All of Kennewick. He has also left his Mother Glennis Lockhart, brother Dan (Ann) Lockhart, sister Susan (Eddie) Beasley all of Jackson, Michigan, and brother Dennis (Becky) Lockhart of Greenville, Tennessee. He is preceded in death by his Father Louis James Lockhart, sisters Deborah Hansen, Donna Lockhart, and Hope Lockhart. Fred was an avid everything. He would see something and take it on and master it. He loved to fish and hunt. He told stories over and over again about his adventures as a kid growing up in Saranac, Michigan hunting deer and squirrels with his Uncle Ben and Grandpa Conner. He laughed and told stories about going hunting and cutting firewood in the mountains above La Grande, OR with his best friend Reno who he called his Brother from another Mother. He always talked about taking the boys fishing at Wallowa Lake and the time we went ocean fishing and he caught an octopus. Car Racing was Fred's passion. He would watch every car race he could find. He teamed up with his buddy Reno and got into racing in Hermiston and was always working on the car or at the track. Every Saturday night, family and friends would get together and converge on Hermiston Raceways to yell and cheer them on to the win. But most of all, Fred loved people and animals. He made friends easily and was always there to help if someone needed it. He always saw the good in the individual. He was a compassionate soul. He loved deeply and would give or do anything for his family. He wanted to build a shelter in our pasture and collect as many dogs as he could to make sure they were treated properly, healthy and safe. Mia, Ernie and Kiki are totally lost without him. They keep looking everywhere and come to me for answers that I don't have. But he now has Jazz, Duke, Dipstick, Hotrod, Dozer and Bailey for company until the rest of us can meet up with him. We love you Honey, Dad, Son, Grandpa, Brother, Friend. You will be missed by everyone you met and some that you hadn't met yet. Be with the ones that passed before you. Give them big hugs from us and we'll be seeing you again. Love you forever, Tamara
