Gordon Goodwin Obituary
Tony was born on December 3, 1965 in Terre Haute, IN to Jerry and Jo Ann (Rothrock) Goodwin. He was a lifelong member of Walnut Grove Church of the Brethren in Parkersburg, IL. He loved visiting with friends and family, he loved football, and he enjoyed sitting on his front porch. Tony never met a stranger and was always friendly.

He was preceded by his mother Jo Ann; his grandparents Jonas & Edna Rothrock; his cousin Eric Rothrock; and uncle Ed Rothrock.
