Fred Godbolt, 21

Fred was my little brother and he was very loving and sweet. He always kept who ever around him laughing because he was just that kind of guy. It saddends my heart to know that someone took him away from us for no good reason at all. He was too young to die. He was getting his life back together. I hope if anyone has any information about my little brother's murder and his murderer rather it be big or small that they come forward and turn him/them in to bring justice to my little brother's untimely and senseless murder

Fred was my cousin and he will be missed. He was a good person and always made us laugh. As I look through the family photos it saddens me that we will no longer have him here with us. He was so full of life from the moment he was born. So much energy as a child and always smiling. Our family hopes that they find whoever did this senseless act. He was taken away from us far to soon. We love you and miss you and you will always be in our hearts.

Fred is my godson and i miss you so much. You will always remain in my heart. My heart is hurting because i don't have him to bring me the joy and wittingness that he gave when he was around. He will be greatly miss.
Love godmother Ellla.

Fred was my little brother . And he will be missed by me my Mom and nephews and niece.We want you to know little Fred you are always on our minds and in hearts. I pray every night that they find the person who did this to my brother. I love you so much. Love always your sister Patricia.

Fred was ma homie fo' life. He was too young to go out n' get murded. We used to be hustlin' n whatnot back in middle schoo. I was like, "Yo Fred, don't touch that booty yet, let me get up in them draws." I'm missin' ya'll ;__;

Fred was my little cousin my family and I will miss him. He left us to soon. We remember his wonderful smile. He made us all laugh and had so much energy. To young and was not fare to be taken away from us.

Fred was my cousin his gone but not forgotten. His life was taken away from our family to soon. The years we've shared have been full of joy, the memories we've made will go on and on.I haven't stopped crying since he was taken away from us. I've asked God why couldn't he stay with us longer...If I had my own world Lil Fred will still be in it. I Thank Our Lord to grant My Family strength and support and I hope and pray they find whoever did this to him.

"One day we shall meet again Lil Fred...I know you are in a better place..."

We miss you cousin Fred I wish you can be here and play video games like you did before with us

Fred better known to me as (BEAR). Always has a smile for you. Even as a young child. It is a shame that the parents of today are raising their children to be COWARDS. To shoot someone just because. What ever happen to talking then if it did not work you may fight. No you may get your but kicked So you say why fight, Instead shoot them and get it over with. Two things for you. (1) I pray for you and your family. Why you ask? (2) Just remember WHAT GOES AROUND WILL COME BACK TO YOU. THERE IS A GOD ABOVE WHO KNOWS AND SAW WHAT YOU DID. Bear was one of his children. So when it comes back to you it will be double.
TO THE FAMILY of FRED (BEAR):
God be with u at this time. God has you lifted you up on his shoulders and will carry you. Bear is and will be truly missed. In our hearts we know Bear is with his HEAVENLY FATHER.
In his breif life on this earth, Bear called me auntie. and for that I feel honored to of know him.

Fred is my son and I love him. I will always remember his intoxicating smile and wit that only he could bring. I want you to know Fred that you are loved and will forever be in my heart. I would like to thank the family and all of his friend and associates for the love and support that has been given, God bless you. To the SPINELESS MAGGOTS that attacked and killed my son, your days are numbered!

I've always called u Bear since the day
u were born and your parents came to me
the day u were discharged from Gardena
Memorial Hosp. U were my life, traveling
partner,shopping buddy. TT will always
love u and will always keep u in my
heart. Thunder (your dog) will be well
taken care of.

Love and Kisses

Fred was my friend. I remember going to the carnival with him and saying, "Wanna ride the zipper?! You know, with the zippin', and the errin', and the...Oh, you know what I'm talkin' about."

Fred, this is your Auntie cora. Whereas we did not see other very often, I will miss my big HUGS when I did see you.
I will never forget you and will always love you.
**Auntie, Cora

Me & fred had the BEST of memories since DAY 1... the 1st time we started talking i told him i was hungry and he ask "Do you want me to cook for u?" i said yea. 5 mins later he came to ma granny house wit a microwaved burrito..lol.. we did Alot 2gether and those memories will never b 4 gotten.. i never got a chance 2 tell him i love him but we both knew where da love was comming from.....FRED ILY and ur always gonna remembered.. "BOO".... and DEREON is gonna miss eating with you lol....
LOVE ALWAYS..Roshonda .aka RORO & Dereon....

trust me en i say u have a special spot in my heart

Fred is & will always be my lil brother. My baby boy I did everything I could to give him an adventures life. I filled my car up with his freinds his brothers & just drove to where ever our gas $ got us to. I have so many memories of him from sitting around his house & cheering for him while he played video games to sitting in the ER after he busted his lip playing basketball. (Cuz he wasn't wearing the mouth guard I got em.) We had so much fun, massive shopping trips & so many basketball games! I love that boy with all my heart words can't even begin to express how sadden & broken my heart is. In one of the last convos we had he told me how much fun & how the best day he ever had was when I took him & Taurus to the All Start Jam Session (for the all start game in 04) I was looking foward to doing the same thing in 2011 when the all star game came back! But unfortunatly someone has robbed me of that. My life will never be the same. My heart will never mend. My brother didn't deserve to die like that. I hope in a club full of ppl 1 person has the stregth to let my brother rest in peace & give all of us closure. Someone had to have seen something. "I love u...u magical turtle head ass n*****!!!) Watch over me till God let's us be together again.

To those who did this know that God knows all & sees all. One day u will be held countable for ur actions.

VERONICA: Fred was a very good friend and boyfriend he always kept me laughing even when i couldn't stand looking at him. He was a kind hearted person who was getting his life together. His life was ended before it even began. But I kno fred wouldnt want us to be sad I just hope someone comes forward to help catch the BASTARDS that did this to him. I hope his new home is just right for him. FRED I miss u so much I love you and I will see you again someday. To the family I send you my prayers and I hope god be with you. My heart goes out to his mother and father.
SHERELL: Fred was a very good friend to me. We had alot of turnt up nights w/Shane and Veronica. He always kept me laughing and smiling. Especially when him and shane would crack jokes about each other. Unfortunatley our memories were cut short. I just want his murderer to know what goes around comes around. And to his family may god be with you and help you through this tragic time. My heart goes out to his mother. I love you Fred.

***GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN U WILL TRULY B MISSED R.I.P****

I am so overwelmed by the love that I am reading from all of you who knew Lil Fred and many of you say why was he taken so soon but, I say Thank you God for giving us 21 years with a young man who no matter what his situation was, he would smile, share and love unconditionally. I read all these stories and learn more and more about my oldest sister son, that I never knew before. thank you everyone for your wonderfull stories and don't worry about the people who did this pray for them and learn from this nightmare that life is too short, change your life, enjoy your family and forgive!!!

TURN TO GOD FOR GUIDANCE AND COMFORT, HE WILL CARRY YOU AND HEAL YOU.

I didn't know Fred, but he is a Godbolt and we Godbolts all feel the saddness for Fred's family. Rest In Peace.......FOLKS.

fred was and is still my bro. since highschool there wasent a day you wouldet see us together he will be missed. hope to see u again one day we miss you

I miss my BROTHER!!! This is BS its been 9 months and I have only grown angrier! Truthfully I have no idea how to move on...or how to deal. The person who did it could be convicted and sentenced but I'd still have a huge void in my heart. This is so senseless. Only 21 years old had his whole life ahead of him. Just sad counseling can't help me...I WANT MY BROTHER BACK. It's hard believing this was God's ultimate plan, however since Fred has watched over me I have received many blessings. This is hard!!! I love u Brother, I always will and your in my thoughts daily! To anyone reading this please help me carry on my brothers life...if you can close your eyes and see and hear him...then he always with us! me!!!

Lucie,
I hear your pain. I work with victims and perpetrators of violence. People usually cannot move on or remain emotionally stuck until they can find forgiveness. I know is sounds crazy to forgive the person that did this to your brother, but feel confident that they day you do, you will feel free.

Imu Freddy love you!!

Today my brother would have been 22 yrs old!!! I love u & I miss u

ily bro and i miss u

Today marks 1yr that my brother was taken from me & it still feels like yeaturday!

I miss u brother...I hope u can see ur nephew! Help him stay on the right path! I love u I'll never forget u...ur bday is around the corner!

To all that wrote about Fred: I didn't know him personally, but I know that area he was shot in well. I been on here before and saw his name here and it's ironic i looked today and it's his anniversary. I hope the killer or killers fall right in the police's lap, or right in the hands of the ones who are going to seal your fate. God bless your fam, Fred.
