Oliver "Goober" Judson Turner

Goober was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Dick and Frances Turner and his maternal grandparents, Oliver “Chief” and Joyce Shirley.

He is survived by his son, Frank Judson “J.T.” Turner; his parents, Frank and Penny Turner; his loving brother, Ryan (Barri Michael) Turner; his nieces, Mary Braxton and Vinley Turner; his special aunt, Debbie Colquett and his adopted grandpa, Millard Austin. He also leaves behind numerous, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Goober tragically lost his battle with addiction on April 29, 2023. He was a kind and loving soul who always paid homage to the “Underdog” – sometimes literally giving them the shirt off his back. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fish. Many say, “He was the best dove hunter they’ve ever seen”. In his younger years, he excelled at all sports… whether it be football, baseball or golf. He always played with the heart of a winner.

His family encourages anyone suffering from an addiction to seek help.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, May 4, 2023 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Solid Rock Church of God, 11400 Tanner Williams Road, Funeral Services will be celebrated at 2:00 p.m. Interment will follow at Spring Hill Memorial Gardens, Mobile, AL.
