With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of George Franklin (Frankie) Goodman, 56, of Gainesville, MO. He passed away Friday, July 10, 2026 at his home. Frank was born June 12, 1970, to George Dexter and Regenia Goodman.

Frankie was a 1988 Gainesville High School graduate. Out of high school, he joined the Navy. No matter how far he went, Gainesville was always his home. Frank went on to own and run his successful HVAC business, Goodman Heating & Air Conditioning, for 26 years. He enjoyed the simple life, by having coffee and long conversations every morning with his brother and son. Putting his building trade knowledge to use, he built many houses throughout his life.

Those who knew Frank, knew him as a jokester and as someone who took pride in his hard work. His greatest joy was continuing his family's legacy by cultivating the land and the family ranch. (Isaiah 65:21-23) Frank's children and grandchildren were his whole world. Truly, a cherished father, son, brother, grandfather, and friend.
