Ricky Dale Goodson Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on February 7, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Ricky Dale Goodson in Bristol, Tennessee. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid Ricky farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Ricky is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Bobby Goodson and Betty Jo Goodson. He is survived by: his wife Carolyn Goodson; his stepchildren, Teressa Martin (Jeremy), Timmy Perritt (Lisa) and Kimberly Graham; and his siblings, Darrel Goodson and Linda Jo McCracken.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be sent to the American Cancer Society in memory of Ricky.
