Charles Henry Goodman Jr., known as Chuck, passed away on January 19, 2026 in Green Cove Springs, FL. Chuck was born on 06/25/1945 to Charles H. Goodman, Sr. and Virginia Goodman in Louisville, KY.

Chuck proudly served his country for 26 years in the United States Navy retiring as a Senior Chief - a reflection of his sense of duty and commitment to others. Later, his dynamic personality was a great fit for the Hospitality Industry after 20 years.

Chuck loved God and attended River Christian Church and Grace Anglican Church, both on Fleming Island. Everywhere Chuck went you knew you were loved by him and that God loved you. Chuck’s greatest pleasure came from caring for his 4 dogs: Shelly, Gumbo, Greta and Duncan.

Chuck is preceded in death by his parents, Charles H. Goodman, Sr. and Virginia Goodman; and, 2 sisters: Mary Catherine Stanley and Judy Kordik; and 3 nieces and nephews.
