Matthew W. Goodin

Matthew Wayne Goodin, 46, passed away on October 11, 2022. He was born in Colorado Springs, CO on May 4th, 1976, to Robert and Linda Goodin.

Matt graduated from Narbonne High School in Harbor City, CA in 1994. After high school, Matt began his career at FedEx where he stayed for over 25 years. Following FedEx, Matt remained in the transportation industry, starting his own business, and had just recently started with ABC Supply.

Matt was a Mustang car enthusiast (he wrecked one!). He was an avid racing fan and started racing go carts at the age of 7. As an adult, Matt raced dwarf and modlites for several years.

Matt never knew a stranger. He could talk with anyone about anything and was always ready to roll up his sleeves and help, especially if it involved fixing cars. Matt could be found in his garage fiddling with projects or working in his yard with a Busch Light in hand.

Matt is survived by his loving wife, Laurie Goodin; adoring parents, Robert and Linda Goodin; brother and best-friend, Andrew Goodin; fur children; Maci, Sargie, and Maggie, stepchildren; Amanda (Joe) Harless and Garrett (Sara) Hill. Matt is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandchildren who lovingly called him, Mattpa.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents; Chester and Maxine Goodin (paternal) and Dean and Dora Jean Sylvester (maternal), and mother-in-law; Glenda Bowden.
