Jimmy Dale Goad

Jimmy Goad, a cherished husband, brother, father and grandfather passed peacefully from this world on the evening of Sunday, November 12, 2023, at the age of 82. He was surrounded by the love and warmth of his family while an inpatient in the Charleston Area Medical Center in Charleston, WV. Jimmy was born on April 28, 1941, a son of the late Richard and Lula Goad of Beech Creek, coming into a world he would leave significantly better than he found it. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his sisters, Winifred Hatfield, Joy Duty, Jean Bates, Liza Hatfield, Lottie Mahon, and June Bailey and his brothers Elmer “Pete”, Carl, Harold, Joe, Eugene, Bobby, Lawrence, Jack, Roy, James, and Quintin Goad. Jimmy Dale was a man of incredible work ethic, dedicating his career to the coal mining industry. He was a master of many trades, from carpentry to trucking and various other side jobs, he was always motivated by the welfare of his family. Affectionately known as "Poppy" by his family and “Hoss” by his friends and co-workers. Jimmy devoted his life to his family and his mining career. From his loving wife, Georgia, to his daughters Gloria and Marcella, to his two special grandchildren, Grant and Ragan, family was everything to Jimmy. Health-wise, Jimmy Dale didn’t feel his best, however, one wouldn’t always know it. You would find him outside anytime he could, tinkering with something, enjoying the wildlife, and of course mowing the grass with his beloved fur-baby, Roxie. From his contagious laugh, to his many stories of mining coal, to his sweet personality that radiated from inside were all part of his massive personality. Jimmy is survived by his devoted wife of 63 years, Georgia (Kennedy) Goad; his daughter Gloria Goad-Mibb and her husband Steve of Williamson, WV; his daughter Marcella Charles-Casto and her husband Bryan of Matewan, WV; grandson, Grant Charles of Huntington, WV and granddaughter, Ragan Marcum of Huntington, WV. His enduring love also extended to his two sisters, Grethel Parker (Ronald ) of Mooresburg, TN and Faye Ferguson of Beech Creek, WV and his brother Fred (Reba) Goad of Columbus, Ohio whom he cherished, and a multitude of nieces and nephews who were so special to him. He was extremely proud of his nephew, Dr. John Goad who gave him the best care possible. The family will begin receiving friends on Thursday, November 16, 2023, from 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. in the Chafin Funeral Home —Delbarton, WV.
