Neal Allen Goodwin, 74, of Melbourne, Florida, passed away on July 7, 2025.
Born to Robert and Anna Goodwin, Neal lived a quiet and humble life centered by a deep and steady love for his family. He was a father to his three children Thomas Goodwin, Patricia Goodwin, and Samantha Goodwin — who will remember him for his unique way of showing care: not always through words or gestures, but through consistency, loyalty, and quiet generosity.
Neal was a collector at heart. He found joy in comic books, classic movies, and coins—small treasures that reflected his appreciation for history, storytelling, and simple pleasures. He was also a lifelong San Francisco 49ers fan, cheering them on through every high and low season with unwavering loyalty.
Though he never asked for much, he gave what he could freely and without hesitation. His generosity, especially in the little things, spoke volumes. He was a simple man with a steady spirit, and those who knew him best will remember his dry wit, his unique way of loving, and the comfort of his presence.
A private family service will be held to honor his life. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you perform a small act of kindness in Neal’s memory — just as he often did in quiet ways throughout his life.
