Celebrating the life of Gary Goodman can’t be summed up in a small paragraph and saying so would be a lie. Gary’s accomplishments range from the homes and buildings he built, his beloved hot rods, fast cars, duck and deer hunting to the children he raised. Gary was more than a mason he was a father, husband, grandfather, best friend. Gary’s passion was more than being a mason, riding horses, hunting and fast cars, his biggest passion was his family. Gary was the hardest working man, and he did so to provide for his family. He loved his wife and children and grandchildren with a passion and dedication not seen by many. Gary had the biggest heart and would give anything he had to help anyone in need.

His legacy of truth, hard work and compassion is lived vibrantly through all his children and grandchildren. Gary more than raised his children, he taught them to be the best parents and best people and did so by being the best parent and the best person he could. The passing of this amazing man will be hard, and he will be missed by many. The last years of his life he spent with his family and held a firm hand in raising his grandchildren, whom he was so proud of. Celebrating his life is easy, the goodbyes are the hardest.

Gary is survived by his wife, Kathryn; sons: Scott Goodman and wife, Rhonda of Grant, Okla., Brandon Goodman and wife, Tiffany of Greene, Maine; daughters: Rachel Goodman-Johnson and husband, Jason of Hugo, Sabrina Goodman-Brutchin and husband, Billy Ray of Henderson, Texas; grandchildren: Destiny, Hailey, Erynn, Evelyn, Allison and Kaleb; brothers: Suvoy Rosser and wife, Cheryl of Texas; sisters: Elgis Williamson of San Antonio, Texas, Teresa Creasy of Paris, Texas, along with a host of nieces, nephews and other family, friends and loved ones.
