David Goodhead Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Jakubs & Son Funeral Home on Feb. 9, 2026.
David H. Goodhead, "Goody," passed away peacefully, at the age of 69 on Friday, February 6, after a brief stay at the Hospice of the Western Reserve.

Preceded in death by his parents, Harold and Mabel Goodhead, half sister Diane Andrews, he is survived by his incredible wife of 24 years, Kathy Bruce-Goodhead, her children, Jeremy Bruce (Melissa), Jeffrey Bruce and Jennifer Trnavsky (Darik). Grandchildren Ericka, Jonny, Emily, Abby and Dyson; nieces and nephews and so many lifelong friends and neighbors.

Born in Euclid, Ohio, Dave grew up and lived his entire life in the house where he was born. Dave was graduate of Euclid High School in 1975.

Dave was a lifetime member of the Noble Beach Association, where he contributed to the upkeep of the neighborhood by completing general repairs, tree trimming and handiwork. Often on a summer evening Dave, Kathy and neighbors could be found sitting in their front yard having a fun, relaxing evening, sometimes enjoying a small fire.

He enjoyed deer hunting in Pennsylvania with friends. He loved and missed his dogs, Bravo, Kub and Thunder. His passion was sports. During football season on Saturdays he'd watch The Ohio State Buckeyes and Sundays were spent watching the Cleveland Browns. He also enjoyed watching the Cleveland Indians/Guardians.

Friends and family are encouraged to wear their favorite team apparel when visiting at Jakubs and Sons on Wednesday Feb 11 from 3 to 7pm at 936 East 185th Street, Cleveland, Ohio

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to EUCLID PET PALS or HOSPICE of the WESTERN RESERVE.
