Obituary

John Wilbur Lindsay Goodin Jr., 56, passed away on Saturday, October 16, 2021, in his home in Charleston, MO, surrounded by his family.

Born July 13, 1965, in Sikeston, MO, he was the eldest son of John Wilber Lindsay Goodin and Clyda Sue Oliver Goodin. He graduated from Charleston High School in 1983 and continued his education at Mississippi State University and Southeast Missouri State University.
A lifelong resident of Charleston, Lindsay was baptized in the United Methodist Church, and later converted to Catholicism to become an active parishioner at St. Henry Catholic Church.
As a 7th generation farmer, Lindsay operated Goodin & Company, his family farm in Southeast Missouri.
On August 17, 1991, he married Monica Yvette Horton. They raised four children together and celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary this year.
Lindsay had many interests including
music, books, movies, history, and good food, but the most important thing to Lindsay was his role as a husband and father. He passed on his many interests and passions to his children, integrating himself in every aspect of their lives. He prioritized education and instilled the importance of good work ethic through gardening, canning, and raising pigs and chickens to feed the family. Lindsay was a supportive husband to Monica, and was the strength and backbone of his family.
