Dennis Goodale

On Monday, August 28, 2023, Dennis Goodale passed away at the age of 61. He is survived by his parents Jack and Aletha Goodale; siblings Mike and Jane Goodale, Sally and Dan Nyenhuis, Sandy and John DeJong, Pat Goodale, Cindy and Craig McCullough, Lori and Craig Balow; nieces and nephews Chris and Cecilia Goodale, Josh and Nicole Goodale, Alex and Ashley Goodale, Kate and Matt Iwan, Jennifer and David DeYoung, Dan and Jill Nyenhuis, Carson Nyenhuis and Rachel Prawdzik, Matt and Terri DeJong, Leigh and Patrick Chick, Sara and Josh Spicer, Brad Goodale, Jamie and John Seville, Brent and Rachel Goodale, Aletha and Greg VanderMaas, Nash Pater, Victoria and Joe Nelson, Jacqueline and Brandon Martinez, Mitchell and Aren Pater, Anna and Andrew Bozym, Jim Balow and fiancée Rachel RaKosky, Jack and Sara Balow; and 40 great-nieces and -nephews.

Dennis was loved as a son, brother, uncle, and friend. He spent his life living in the Standale area but loved to travel and went on many trips. He really enjoyed his time in Palm Springs, California in the winter months. He enjoyed meeting new people and chatting with them; he was a good listener. Dennis was very close with his whole family but had a special bond with his nephews. He did many things during his lifetime, but the constant love other than his family was music and concerts. Rock on, Denny.
