It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Gerry Goodie, a beloved figure in both business and community, who departed surrounded by loved ones at 4:20 AM this morning. Gerry’s presence, marked by his unwavering dedication, kindness, and zest for life, has left an indelible mark on the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Gerry was not only the owner of Wimpy’s Marina Restaurant & Bar, but also the proprietor of Goodie & Sons, a construction company that served the Sacramento community for decades. His commitment to excellence, integrity, and hard work set a standard of professionalism and service that earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and patrons alike.
Beyond his professional endeavors, Gerry’s true legacy lies in his roles as a devoted husband, father, Little League Coach, and Scout Leader. He poured his heart and soul into supporting and nurturing his family, instilling in them the values of love, compassion, and resilience that will endure for generations to come.
In addition to his dedication to family and business, Gerry was a true Renaissance man, with a passion for philanthropy, travel, snow skiing, jet skiing, music, and the simple beauty of a breathtaking sunset. His adventurous spirit and love for life were contagious, and he shared these passions generously with all who crossed his path.
But perhaps Gerry’s greatest legacy is the countless lives he touched as a friend, confidant, and source of unwavering support. His warm smile, infectious laughter, and genuine compassion endeared him to all who had the privilege of calling him friend. As we mourn the loss of Gerry Goodie, we take solace in the cherished memories we shared with him and the profound impact he had on our lives.
Though he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Gerry’s family and friends during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the love and support of one another, and may the memories of Gerry’s extraordinary life bring them peace and solace in the days ahead.
