W. Christian "Chris" Goode

I was fortunate to have worked with Chris at the Virginia Employment Commission. He was a dedicated employee and a wonderful person. He will be missed.

Chris treated everyone he met with the utmost kindness and respect. He loved nothing more than making people around him laugh. That said, his greatest gifts were listening and caring. During the time we worked together at the VA Employment Commission, I saw how one human being could touch another with brotherly love, compassion and acceptance. He was a shining example of how we all should live life. I believe Chris’ death is a loss to all of humanity.

Sorry for your loss, may God keep you in his care.keep the faith.

Donna - Sorry to hear about your Uncle Chris - I remember him laughing and telling us we had 'tender feet' when walking barefoot across the gravel at your house on the Chickohominy.

After the clouds,the sunshine,
After the winter,the spring,
After the showers,the rainbow,
For life is a changeable thing.
After the light of morning bidding all darkness to cease. After life's cares an sorrows.The comfort and sweetness of PEACE.

To the Goode Family,

I met Chris at VEC he was my boss and friend. I have yet to meet a more kinder,humorous,fatherly and loving person in my lifetime. Chris and Ms. Frances have and will always be in my heart. He will truly be missed. I will remember his funny drawing and how we laugh. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
