Calvin Wilson Goodman was born in Morenci, Arizona to a loving family. His parents, Jim and Joan Goodman, and his brothers, Doug and Jeff Goodman.

Calvin passed away on July 16, 2025, following a brain operation, pertaining to damages from several strokes he had since April 14, 2025. He passed away in Casper, Wyoming where he ended up on his final traveling trip.

Calvin had a great love for dogs, and Molly, his dog left behind, was his pride and joy. He liked to read and seemed to always have a book with him. He traveled around the United States over the years and enjoyed being on the road.

Calvin also loved to go fishing. He seemed to enjoyed the quiet surroundings of finding that special fishing hole where he would spend hours fishing away.

Calvin was a very polite, caring person. He helped many people doing odd jobs for them around their homes. He had knowledge in electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting and many other attributes in the labor trades.

Calvin is survived by: his parents, Jim and Joan Goodman; his older brothers, Doug Goodman and Jeff Goodman; and by many nieces and nephews who he thought the world of.

Memorial services for Calvin will be conducted Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., at the Solomonville Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by Bishop Robert Montierth of the Solomonville Ward.
