- GOODBODY, THOMAS L III Thomas "Tommy" L. Goodbody, III, 52, died February 1, 2012.
He is enjoying a beer and a ballgame with his best friend and father, Thomas L. Goodbody, Jr., who died January 2, 2012, and he has, undoubtedly, found Jerry Garcia and is jamming with him.
He was the widower of Julie Boyle Goodbody and is survived by his "Victory Lady," his wife, the amazing Sondra Golden, and his beautiful daughter, Katie Jacks, to whom he was "Homer Simpson." He is also survived by his mother, Elizabeth Goodbody, his sisters, Lynn Davidson (Chuck), Bonnie Kettlewell (Mark), Beth Goodbody and Dee Goodbody (his favorite, who has decided that is how she'll be known in every obit she writes), as well as his nephew, Kyle Jones, and his nieces, Courtney Payne, Taylor Goodbody, Ella Goodbody and Jadyn VanMeter and two great nieces.
Tommy lived a wild and wonderful life. He was a free spirit with an unequaled sense of humor, a heart of gold and a great love for his family. He was a cat lover, a sports fan (especially of the Chargers and the Padres), a Dead Head, an avid motorcyclist and a talented musician and songwriter of should've-been-hits such as "The Pee Pee Dance." His last years were marked by uncommon strength and grace. A celebration of his well-lived life will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the charity of your choice. What a long, strange trip it's been.
