William Charles Lockhart
March 20, 1962 - August 17,2025

William Charles Lockhart, 63, of Ventura County, passed away on August 17, 2025. Known for his charm, attention to detail, and big heart, William brought joy and warmth to all who knew him.
William was the beloved husband of Jamie Lockhart and a father to his daughter Samantha Lockhart. He was also a proud stepfather to Brittany Smith (husband Jarrid), James Mier (wife Tasha), and Baylee Mier (boyfriend Daniel). He cherished his role as a grandfather to Aurora and Elliot (Samantha), and Hunter and Hazel (James and Tasha ). He is also survived by his brother, Bobbie and wife Judith Lockhart of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

He worked as a supervisor at
LT Generators in Woodland Hills-a job he truly loved. His work brought him into the homes of many well-known individuals across Malibu and Los Angeles, and his perfectionism, professionalism, and warm personality made him a favorite among clients.

William had a unique sense of style-always meticulously matching from head to toe, down to his underwear His wife, Jamie, proudly matched his color schemes every day, a small but loving ritual that highlighted their deep bond.

Fulfilling a dream for Jamie, William purchased a boat in the Channel Islands Harbor where they made their home-a
beautiful life on the water that he was proud to provide. He was a member of the Channel Islands Yacht Club and loved attending events there, even if his
demanding work schedule didn't allow him to go as much as they would have liked to.

Saturdays were reserved for breakfast at the Boatyard in Ventura Harbor, where he and Jamie shared laughs and good times with the regulars. Sundays were for the Hollywood Beach Café-always in the same seat at the counter, a simple tradition that brought him great joy.

William's life was full of love, laughter, and intention. He lived on his own terms, brought joy to others, and leaves behind memories that will be treasured forever.

A celebration of "Bills" life will be announced soon.
