Steve W. Goddard

Steve W. Goddard, age 67 of Maryville, Tennessee passed away Wednesday, October 6, 2021. He was a graduate of Everett Highschool, and a member of Topside Church of God for over 30 years. Steve is predeceased by his two wonderful parents Hurdle J. Goddard and Bernice “Bunny” Goddard. He is survived by his son Ryan Goddard and wife Danielle and their daughter Kinsley; his daughter Lauren Goddard; former spouse and friend Lora Singleton and numerous cousins, friends, and other family. Steve was a wonderful example of how to positively deal with adversity, having lost his ability to walk unassisted due to a car accident over thirty-five years ago. He never let his circumstances interfere with his attitude and always remained positive, went to church every Sunday, and worked out three times a week. With Steve’s passing, the Andy Griffith show’s viewership has taken a big hit. He was an avid watcher to say the least, and it will take more than one person tuning in to make up for his absence. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday October 16, 2021, at Grandview Cemetery at the pavilion, followed by a celebration of life from 2:00-4:00 PM at the Smith Life Event Center. Everyone is welcome to attend both. In lieu of flowers, please donate the money you would have spent to the charity of your choice or to Topside Church of God located in Blount County Tennessee on Topside Road.
