Good Heart Man

It is with great sadness we announce that our beloved relative Jimmy began his journey on Friday, October 11, 2024 at the age of 44 years old.

He was predeceased by his father Eugene Goodwill Sr.; paternal grandparents Clifford Goodwill Sr. and Elizabeth Goodwill (Thorne) and maternal grandparents Vincent Anaquod and Adeline Redman.

Jimmy leaves to mourn his mother Dianna Redman; sisters Tiffany (Preston) and Jenny (Mike); brother Braidy; special friend Tara Saulteaux; paternal relatives: Lydia Redman, Cindy Goodwill, Fabian Goodwill, Claudia Goodwill and Ernest Goodwill; maternal relatives: Kelly Redman Sr., Dwayne Redman Sr., Chief Rodger Redman, Ryan Redman, Angela Redman, Darla Redman and Bobby Anaquod and special uncle Floyd Goodwill. Although Jimmy did not have children he loved his nieces and nephews and was fiercely protective of them. He also leaves to mourn numerous cousins whom he took as siblings.

Jimmy suffered for the majority of his life with medical issues. He did not let that stop him from being a hard worker. He was a long time familiar face at the Buffalo Crossing. He loved to visit with family to play dice and cards. His daily visits will be deeply missed.

A traditional wake was held in Standing Buffalo School Gymnasium on Saturday, October 19, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. The funeral service was in the same location on Sunday, October 20, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. with Knowledge Keepers Damon Maple and Trevor Redman officiating. The interment took place in Standing Buffalo Cemetery. The pallbearers were Shane Goodwill, Louie Redman, Nathan Oliver, Jared Lavallee, Justice Halcrow and Charlie Ahdemar.

The family respectfully asks that no small children be in attendance.
