William "Bill" Goodman, 67, passed away at home on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, with his two eldest children by his side. Born January 18, 1959, in Casa Grande, Arizona, he was a man with a big heart who would give you the shirt off his back. Bill was a man of many trades who could fix anything, dedicating 22 years to Modern Plating, and he loved riding his Harley.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Denise Goodman (Raab), in December 2021.

Bill is survived by his daughter Angela Goodman (Ramiro Bustos) of Phoenix, Arizona; son Evan Goodman (Paula Goodman) of Freeport, Illinois; daughter Emilee Hoover (David Brown) of Ohio; daughter Hailey Griffith (Jeremy Griffith) of North Carolina; and grandson/son Romeo Sandles of Freeport, Illinois. He also leaves behind nine cherished grandchildren, who thought he was the best Papa ever.

Bill's love, humor, and support will remain with us always. The family welcomes contributions to the Bill Goodman Memorial Fund; details can be found on GoFundMe.
