Dan Godwin Obituary
Dan was born October 4, 1958, in Richland County, son of the late Carl L. Godwin and Mamie C. Godwin. Dan was a man of many traits and talents. He held positions as a sales representative and general manager for many years. He also established and operated his own small construction company until his health declined. Dan enjoyed cooking and baking cakes for family and friends. He was also a skilled woodworker who took pleasure in building and selling his furniture. Dan was passionate about sharing the love of God with others. He was a faithful member of Sandy Bay Pentecostal Holiness Church, where he served as a deacon, soloist, choir member, youth leader, and "chief cook and bottle washer" for Royal Rangers. Dan was known for his compassionate nature, giving spirit, witty sense of humor, and infectious laughter. His personality brought warmth and joy to everyone he encountered. Dan poured out from the strength of Christ within him and a favorite scripture was Philippians 4:13 " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
