John Wesley Goodroe

John Wesley Goodroe, affectionately known as "Bo," was a skilled Agronomist whose passion for the land and its bountiful creations knew no bounds. On October 1, 2023, Bo's vibrant presence dimmed, leaving behind cherished memories and a void in the hearts of those who loved him.

Born on July 16, 1960, in Mauk, Georgia, Bo's journey through life was marked by a steadfast commitment to his craft and an unwavering spirit. He attended the public schools of Taylor County, where he developed a strong foundation that would later propel him into the realm of agriculture.

From an early age, it was evident that Bo possessed a vivacious personality. Outgoing and colorful, he had an infectious laughter that could fill any room with joy. Bo's zest for life was best exemplified in his love for libations. When he found himself in his element, everyone knew it. His jokes and stories would weave their way through the crowd, leaving smiles etched on the faces of those fortunate enough to hear them.

Bo's deep connection with nature led him to pursue a career as an Agronomist. With boundless enthusiasm and expertise honed over years of dedicated study and hands-on experience, he cultivated crops with precision and care. His work was not only a testament to his skill but also a reflection of his profound understanding of the interconnectedness between humans and the earth.

On October 8, 2023, family and friends will gather to honor Bo's life at a Memorial Service held at House of Towns Mortuary in Reynolds, Georgia. The service will begin at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, providing an opportunity for loved ones to unite in celebration of Bo's remarkable journey. Located at 21 Racetrack Road in Reynolds (postal code 31076), this solemn gathering will serve as a testament to the impact Bo had on the lives of those around him.

Bo's legacy lives on through his surviving family and friends, who will forever cherish the memories they shared with him. He was preceded in death by his mother, Charlie Mae Jones, and his father, Edgar Goodroe. Bo's passing leaves a void in the hearts of those who loved him that can never be filled, but they find solace in the knowledge that his spirit lives on in their cherished memories.

Additionally, Bo will be deeply missed by his siblings: Willie Goodroe of Milledgeville, Georgia; Katie Hawk of Fort Valley, Georgia; Katherine Searcy of Butler, Georgia; and Annette Goodroe of Perry, Georgia, Geraldine Goodroe, Maryland. The bonds they forged throughout their lives were unbreakable and filled with love. Bo's extended family, including nieces, nephews, cousins, and many other relatives and friends Richard Terrell, Willie Walters also mourn his departure.

As we bid farewell to John Wesley Goodroe, let us remember the indomitable spirit that defined his life. Although he may no longer walk among us, his laughter lingers in our hearts and his passion for agronomy continues to inspire those who follow in his footsteps.

In honoring Bo's memory, may we strive to emulate his zest for life and unwavering dedication to the land he held so dear. May we raise a glass to an extraordinary soul who left an indelible mark on this world. And as we share stories of his vibrant existence, let us remember that within our reminiscences lies the essence of Bo's eternal presence.

Rest in peace, dear Bo. Your laughter echoes through our memories as we bid you a fond farewell until we meet again on distant shores.
