William A. Skold, 66, of Virginia Beach, VA, passed away on October 27, 2025, in Dover, Delaware. Born in East Brunswick, New Jersey, William was a man of dedication, love, and service.

A committed public servant, William proudly served in the U.S. Navy until his retirement as a Chief. Following his military career, he worked as an electrician supervisor at BAE Systems, where his diligence and leadership were greatly respected.

William was known for his kindness, never speaking ill of others and living a life free from harm to people or creatures alike.

William was preceded in death by his parents, William and Nancy Skold. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Irina, and their children, Jess and Maks, who will carry forward his legacy of love, generosity, and joy.
