David Goodell Obituary
Affectionately known as "The Cowboy" among his many friends and fellow residents of Del Mar, David was a cherished figure in the community. His warm personality and signature greeting - "wonderful, amazing and great!" - left a lasting impression on everyone he met. Known for his kindness and generosity, as well as his indelible imprint on the development of the greater Carmel Valley area, David extended compassion not only to his family and friends but also to the broader community he held dear.
A memorial service to honor David's life will be held in late May. Details will be shared with those wishing to pay their respects.
David's presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him. May his memory bring comfort and inspiration to those whose lives he touched. Ride on, Cowboy!
