Daniel Goode Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gaffney-Busha Funeral Home & Alpha Crematory on Jan. 15, 2026.
Daniel William Goode Jr., 64, passed away on January 3, 2026, in the City of Eagle River, WI.
Known affectionately by his family as "Danny Boy," he was a fun-loving person with a sharp sense of humor, and a penchant for pranks and practical jokes. His passion for cars, along with his legendary storytelling and salesmanship, led to his eventually owning and operating his own auto body shop.
Outside his professional life, Danny had a love for Wisconsin sport teams, car racing, golfing, playing the guitar, and fishing (albeit impatiently). Never one to sit still for long, he preferred to be at the heart of the action. His vibrant nature made him an unforgettable presence at any event or festival he attended.
Danny was preceded in death by his son, Justin D. Goode, and his parents, Daniel William Goode Sr. and Judith Ann Goode. He is survived by a loving circle of family and stalwart friends.
A private ceremony for the interment of his ashes will be held at a later date.
