Michael Paul Goodman

Mike was the best dad, brother, and son. A much devoted friend to many and always a Yooper at heart. A celebration of life was held in Broomfield, Colorado on October 20 with many family members and lifelong Yooper friends in attendance as we celebrated his life and love for the Green Bay Packers. We know that Mike will forever be looking down on us, smiling as he sings “Joy to the World”, a family tradition.

After graduating Gladstone High School, class of 1980, he attended Northern Michigan University where he earned his bachelor of science in natural resources. Following that, Mike moved to Colorado where is earned his bachelor’s degree in electronics engineering from the University of Colorado in Denver.

Mike worked as an ASIC design engineer for most of his career. In his free time, Mike pursued his passion for the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, shooting, camping, biking, and hiking with friends. He was a great outdoorsman and loved being outside. He loved spending time with his three children, Ben, Sara and Mikayla.

Mike was preceded in death by his grandparents, Wilbur and Ella Goodman; Fred and Loretta Kositzke.
