Born in Belgrade, Missouri, on September 10, 1953, Sonny led a life filled with love for the outdoors. He found solace in going on fishing trips and hunting for mushrooms, creating moments that will be forever treasured by those who shared in his adventures.
Sonny's zest for life were evident in his passion for road rides and the simple joys found in nature. His commitment to his loved ones knew no bounds, as he constantly demonstrated his unwavering devotion to family.
In the company of Sonny are now his parents Marian (Delashmit) Watson and William Arthur Goodson, Sr., who preceded him in death. Their memories continue to live on through Sonny's enduring presence in the lives of those he leaves behind.
