Neal Edward Goodrich II

Neal Edward Goodrich II age 50, of Oak Hill, died Friday, October 18, 2019. Born in New Smyrna Beach to Neal Edward, Sr. and Susan Ann Carpenter Goodrich; Neal, II was a lifelong resident of Oak Hill.

 

A commercial fisherman, Neal, II loved the river and fishing. He was a member of the Organized Fishermen of Florida and Shady Grove Church of God. He read a lot of books and enjoyed watching science fiction movies, especially Star Trek. Commonly known to everyone as “Little Neal” (even though he was 6’4”, it was a nickname he acquired as a child and just couldn’t shake). He was quick with a smile and loved a good joke. Neal was hard working and genuinely kind hearted. He truly loved the river and would rather fish than anything else.

 

Survivors include 4 children, Joshua (Felicia) Goodrich, of Edgewater; Jessica Goodrich; Sean, of California and Bram; his mother and father, Susan and Neal Goodrich, Sr. of Oak Hill; sister, Sonny Edwards, of Oak Hill; 3 grandchildren, Landon, Rhett and Ayden and multiple nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members.

 

Memorial service will be Saturday November 2, 2019, 11:00 a.m., at Shady Grove Church of God, 220 South Gaines Street, Oak Hill, with Brother Jimmy Burch, officiating.
