On October 2, Al Goode left this world to spend eternity with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Al was born in 1935 in Kingsville TX to the late Alfred and Mabel Goode who soon moved the family to New Braunfels TX where Al remembered a wonderful childhood growing up on two beautiful rivers. The family later relocated to Temple TX where he graduated from high school and then went on to earn a BBA from North Texas State University.

He was then invited to join the board of directors at Grand Bank in Dallas where he served for 11 years. Al led an active Christian life serving as a Deacon at Garden Oaks Baptist Church in Houston and at the Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas. In recent years he and Anita enjoyed an active church life at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco and were blessed with many wonderful friends in their Sunday school class, A Grace Gathering. Al is survived by his beloved wife of 20 years, Anita, his son Lee Goode of Chicago IL, his daughter and son-in-law Maury and Tracy Littleton of Nacogdoches TX and two wonderful and beloved grandsons, Ryan Ihrig of Houston TX and Trenton Littleton of Nacogdoches.
