Norman Goodman, 64, of Rock Island, IL, passed away on December 3, 2025, peacefully in bed, at home in Rock Island, IL.

Norm was a loving father of two children, Amber Sullivan and Colin Goodman. He leaves behind five grandchildren who will miss him dearly. As well as many cousins of our family, who also revered him as a father.

In life, Norm enjoyed video gaming, reading, and most genres of theatre entertainment. Norm was extremely introverted and kept to himself mostly. He was a skilled auto mechanic in his occupation. But for those whose lives he was a part of, he was kind, helpful, and loving. Norman was one of the wittiest people a person with a dark sense of humor could laugh with. Norm would give the shirt off his back to help those he cared for, and then deny payment for any service rendered.

Norm did not wish to have a service, nor a remembrance. He wished to be remembered as he was in life. Norm will be cremated, as we can not enact his true request to be dismembered and scattered around the neighborhood. Norm did not fear death; he is at peace now. Norm would enjoy most for people to share funny memories of times together. He would not wish for anyone to dwell on the end of his life. We love you, Dad. You will be severely missed.
