PECK HIGH CLASS OF "1969"

It is with great sadness that I offer condolences to the family of Dr. Carey W. Goodman. I remember him a being a very serious person with a nice smile at Peck High.

Uncle,you will be missed. The wonderful memories I have of you will always speak of the great person that you were and will always be remembered. Your presence, love and kindness will forever be with us. Rest in peace. Shonda Thomas

My heart is very heavy right now. I miss my big brother. He would always tell me to apply myself. Eventually I did, and it worked. Thank you for being my brother,and a very good one.You were my great protector through high school, especially because we were a year apart. I will miss you so much, but you will always be in my heart. Love you much, Rhonda

A very good man has left this world. There will be no more pain or sorrow in his life, as now he has arrived at his heavenly home. Goodman was his last name for a valid reason. He served his community well, lived a good life, and now this "jewel of a person"has earned his wings. RIP

My uncle, Dr. Carey Goodman, was definitely a kind man. I recall we were all at a restaurant in FL for a family dinner and he quietly paid for everyone's meal. He didnt boast or brag about it. Always just a real cool demeanor about him. He is goals.... Brittie

Dr Carey Goodman was a great physician in our community. We, as a community, were very upset when he relocated to another city. It took a long time before someone came along to fill the void. May God bless your soul. RIP🙏

Uncle Carey reminded me so much of my mama, quiet and kind-hearted. May God comfort all who are grieving. -Samantha and family

It is sad to accept, that a good soul like Carey, has left us so soon. He will be greatly missed and forever cherished, in the hearts of Peck High School class of 1968. Please accept our condolences.

The world has loss a great individual. May you eternally RIP as your work here has been completed. Carey has earned his wings. 🙏

I will always remember Carey, starting back from a very early age, as we grew up, on the Northside of Fernandina. Your pseudo-shyness always cracked me up; as the overachiever in you, outshined us all. I fondly remember our last conversations, during our class/school reunions. May your soul forever Rest In Peace.

Carey was my brother-in-law and a very accomplished individual. He one one of ones that welcomed me into the family. I know he will be missed by our family and others that knew him. I thank God for allowing me to have him in my life. Rest In Peace. Elwood Billups

My Uncle Carey will be dearly missed. I'll forever remember that he was always, always present for me during my milestone moments. He attended my graduation cookouts, my housewarming, my wedding — and he always made sure to give me a big hug before he slip away quietly and humbly. He was very introverted but spoke when he had something of substance to say, and I always appreciated that about him. Rest peacefully, Uncle. Chimère Barnard

May your sweet kind soul rest knowing that your purpose on this earth was complete. I love and miss you with all my being and I pray that we see each other again. I had you for 67 years and for that I AM THANKFUL. Jocelyn

Carey was my stepdad and instilled in me, life's lessons of responsibility and discipline. The tools I've learned from him have been passed to my children. May you never be forgotten.

The world have loss a great individual. Physician, Carey Goodman, has touched and saved so many lives. May God bless his soul. I am sending my heartfelt condolences to the family and all others whose lives he has touched. 🙏

Carey was my Florida, hometown neighborhood friend of The Hall Family, who I will always remember as being one funny & comical guy. Although I hadn't seen him in well over 50 years, I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I'm offering my sincere condolences to The Goodmans. May he Rest in Paradise 💐

Vanessa

I was married to Carey for 24 years. Even though the union did not last, I still have to confess that he was a nice, considerate individual with a vivacious personality. He was loved by all, and was always the life of the party. I will truly miss his presence in this world, and sincerely hope to see him again in the afterlife. RIP and I know you are now with the Lord.

My brother, Carey was such a joy in my life. We spoke often and I could always depend on his support and answers to all my medical questions. He would visit me in Pennsylvania while he attended college. He refused to return home on the train so I had to purchase him an airline ticket; it was either buy the ticket or he said he wasn't going to return to college. I didn't have a choice. My heart is broken but I know he's in a better place. Pray for our family❤️

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
