Charles "Chuck" Goodhue
July 11, 2019
“God doesn’t call home those who commit suicide, but He welcomes them home” -- Ruth Graham.
On Thursday, July 11, 2019 heaven gained a wonderful man, a fabulous husband, a terrific father and grandfather, son, and an all-around great guy. Charles Edward Goodhue, 52, passed away unexpectedly. Chuck is the son of Howard and Patricia (Keeney) Goodhue.
Chuck enjoyed many things in life, camping, fishing, Iowa State sports – especially football, dining out with family and friends, movies and the Iowa State Fair. Most importantly was the time he spent with his family. Family quality time was important to him.
Chuck was a graduate of Carlisle High School. He went on to further his education at Iowa State University and University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences, where he earned a degree in Physical Therapy. Chuck and Sheryl are the owners and operators of Advantage Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in Sherwood Forest, Windsor Heights, Iowa.
Chuck is survived by his wife of 26 years, Sheryl (Gilliam); sons, Shawn Carlson, Tyler and Jordan Goodhue; grandchildren, Madison Carlson, HayLee and Mark Lopez; father and mother in law, Larry and Mary Gilliam; father and step mother Howard and Marilyn; siblings, Sherry (Hans) Cooper, Laurie (Rob) Belzer, Julie (Steve) Reed, Jenny (John) Tucker, Casey (Stephany) Goodhue, Eric (Stacy) Goodhue and Corey (Rachel) Goodhue. Many nieces and nephews and extended family and friends. He is preceded in death by his mother, Patricia and infant sister, Nicole.
A celebration of life will be held instead of a funeral – Chuck always said, “funerals are too sad”, so please join the family from 4:00 -8:00 p.m., on Tuesday, July 16, 2019 at Hamilton’s near Highland Memory Gardens to help his family celebrate his life.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family. Please know that help is out there, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-8255.

I worked with Charles in 2010-12. I typically would arrive at work 6:30am and Charles would already be on his 2nd patient or so. And he worked for 3-4 companies and I assume his days were quite long. Charles was a slave to his career for reasons I'll never know. His chains are off now and I wish him free flight never once glancing back over his shoulder. You're free to soar, my friend~

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. In times like these it's hard to find true comfort but God assures us he will be there for us during these times, please notice what the scriptures say at 2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4 ''Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.'' Jehovah God is willing to comfort us. What a comforting thought!

I am so sorry about the loss of Charles. I was a year behind him in PT school and worked for him the summer of 2002 as I was getting ready to open Huxley Physical Therapy. I will remember how professional he treated me and I was very proud to work for an Alumnus of UOMHS. His family is in my thoughts and prayers and I wish Charles inner peace with our savior Jesus Christ

With deepest sympathy! I was a client/patient of Charles for the past three summers. He was a great professional physical therapist and helped me a lot. He was a joy to be around and always had a smile for me when I came in the front door. I will miss him. God bless you. Charles.

Sheryl and family, Charles is going to be truly missed. He is an example of a dedicated physical therapist who cared so much about his patients and all who he worked with from doctors to insurance companies and all other providers. I worked with him for 19 years doing his dictation through all his business adventures. He always worked so hard. I am going to miss hearing his voice. He truly left a footprint on my life. Charles, RIP.
