Dr. John D. Good

1943 - 2024

Dr. John D. Good, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 25, 2024. Born on May 22, 1943, in Springfield, Missouri, John grew up with a deep commitment to family, learning, and service to others.

In 1966, John married his high school sweetheart, Lynn Anne Liebeck, sharing a wonderful marriage that spanned 53 years until Lynn's passing in 2019. Together, they raised two children: Christy Good Brice of Brookhaven, GA, who is married to Clay Brice, and Tim J. Good of St. Simons Island, GA, who is engaged to Jenn Agnew. John was the proud grandfather of Alexandria and Grayson Good, as well as Sydney and Landon Brice. He is also survived by his sister, Katie Hill of Smyrna, GA, and a circle of extended family and friends.

John's educational journey began with an undergraduate degree from Southwest Missouri State, followed by a Master's degree from the University of Missouri, and finally, his PhD from the University of Miami. He served in the US Army National Guard Reserves, an early chapter that echoed his lifelong commitment to supporting others, later reflected in his distinguished Human Resources career. For nearly 20 years, he was a compassionate and respected HR executive at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, GA, later continuing his career at Visiting Nurse Health System & Hospice Atlanta, where his commitment to others left a lasting legacy.

Outside of work, John pursued a life full of interests. He was an avid runner, a spirited tennis player, and an enthusiast of classic and modern Chevrolet Corvettes. With a natural curiosity, he was always eager to learn and explore, whether researching a new topic or enjoying vacations and fishing trips on St. Simons Island, GA. His friends and family remember his contagious wit, his generous support, and his boundless humor that brightened every room.

John's family will gather during the holiday season to celebrate his life, honor his memory, and cherish the legacy he leaves behind.
