Goodson, John's Obituary
Our beloved Grandfather John Goodson passed away peacefully on December 2, 2024 at the age of 87. John was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, and he is home now with his Heavenly Father.
He is survived by his son Michael Goodson, daughter in law Sheila Goodson, his Grandchildren Brandon Goodson, Ryan Goodson and Derek, and his great grandchildren Cash, Miller and Wade John Goodson.
He was born in Houston, Texas on August 28, 1937. John met the love of his life, Lou Dell, in high school and they were married for 57 years until she passed away in 2013. Lou Dell and John had a special bond and we will all remember their love and commitment as a part of their beautiful legacy.
At only 29 years old he started his first business and over the years proved to be an expert at opening and operating stores. He later served as a consultant in his industry, helping many business owners maximize their investments. He was a self-made man who achieved personal success but placed greater value on the gift of his salvation through Jesus Christ. John was extremely intelligent, witty, generous, and kind.
John’s hope would be to have his faith recognized by all who knew him, and for all to choose to follow Christ as well. He had a passion for serving others with his time and money, with years of mission work and significant giving to his church. One of John’s most recent interests was a mission for impoverished children in Zambia, Africa through Psalm 91 Ministry. The family requests that donations be made to this charity in lieu of flowers or gifts.
