Richmond, Virginia is grieving the heartbreaking loss of 35-year-old Jamaal Goode, a devoted father, beloved friend, and resilient fighter whose life ended far too soon on November 12, 2025. For years, Jamaal bravely battled complications stemming from a devastating car accident — an accident that altered his physical health but never dimmed the strength of his spirit. Those who knew him say his courage was unmatched, his love for his children unshakable, and his presence a steady anchor in their lives.
News of his passing has sent ripples of sorrow through the community. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones are mourning not just the loss of Jamaal, but the love, laughter, and grounded warmth he brought into every room.

👨👧👦 A Father Whose Children Were His World
Honoring the Love Jamaal Shared with Javion, Serenity, and Zavion
Above all else, Jamaal was a father — and a remarkable one. He leaves behind three beautiful children: Javion, Serenity, and Zavion, the centerpieces of his life and the greatest gift he felt he ever received. No matter what hardships he faced, Jamaal found strength in his children, pouring every ounce of love, patience, and wisdom into their lives.
His family remembers him as a protector, a teacher, and a man who never stopped showing up, even when his health made life unbearably difficult. His smile, his humor, his gentle guidance, and the way he would light up whenever his kids entered the room are memories that will remain forever etched in their hearts.
Though his time on earth has ended, his influence continues — living on through the values he instilled in his children, through the love he gave so freely, and through every person whose life he touched.
