missing you goodwin, not a day goes by where i dont think of you

Chris, I loved you from the day I knew your mom was expecting you, waited anxiously for your birth, held you when you were just a few months old and laughed when you all played with your cousins Elizabeth and Stephen on the swing set in your backyard.  Since before they could talk, Elizabeth, Stephen & Hannah always prayed at nighttime for God to bless "Uncle Roger, Aunt Ellen, Cenzo, Danny, Brandon & Chris.  My heart is so deeply grieved over the temporary loss of you.  Thank you for all you shared of yourself with us in this life.
Aunt Bev

The time since youve been gone, it seems so long. But, it has just been 3 short months. It feels like forever since we last spoke. Your birthday is here tomorrow, and I cant text you to say Happy Birthday old man! I know you are happy and watching us all from above. I will never forget you bro, never. Always with us in our though, hearts and memories. Have a Happy Birthday.

I know I am a few days early, but I won't have access to a computer on tuesday. I'm sure your Birthday in Heaven will be an awesome sight! I am sure the angels are singing to you, and other family and friends are all around you. I bet you will have everyone laughing as always. I will say a special prayer for your family, as they are still missing you so. But one day they will be with you again, and you can all celebrate together. Life has stood still for them since you left, but I know they find comfort in knowing you are in Gods hands... Happy Birthday Man, not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts & prayers.

On a Silent night when friends are few
I close my eyes and think of you
A Silent night
A Silent tear
A Silent wish that you were Here.

Some things are left undone, some words are left unsaid, some feelings are left unexpressed,
but someone like you could never be left unmissed.

I love you and miss you sooooo much. I still can't believe you are gone. I think about you all the time and hold on to the memories. I wish there were a lot more, but I can't dwell on that, because it hurts too much. I'm happy we have made it back. Thank you for always being you. Love you with all my heart and always will. I will never stop thinking about you no matter what anyone says. I know!!!!!

I Think of all of the years that we had with you. Even though we feel they weren't as many as we would have liked, they were better than we could have ever wanted. You were a very special guy and We thank God every day for letting us borrow you from him for a while. Thank you Chris, for all the laughs, all the smiles,all the good times. You, my friend will be greatly missed!

As we look back over time 
We find ourselves wondering ..... 
Did we remember to thank you enough 
For all you have done for us? 
For all the times you were by our sides, brightening our days 
with that mischievous grin, or your quick witted humor.
Or for teaching us by your example, 
The value of hard work, courage and integrity? 
We wonder if we ever thanked you 
for letting us have the very best of you, 
Like laughter, smiles when we were down and times we shared.
You taught us to laugh often and much. 
And still now we are able to laugh through our memories of you.
If we had ever forgotten to show our 
Gratitude enough for all the things you did, 
We're thanking you now. 
And we are hoping you knew all along, 
How much you meant to us. 
YOU have left this world a bit better.
Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world.
We miss you. . . We love you. . . forever in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. 
Rest in Peace, until we are able to laugh together again.

I think of you always.Be at peace and continue to be shining star in the sky

You will be missed greatly and forever in our hearts,Be at peace.May God bless Rachael and you family.

I'll miss you Chris. When ever I push down my bags handle I'll think back to those days in Ward Melville,  when you made it in to a game and always won. RIP

You made me laugh, you made me cry and sometimes you made me damn angry, but I have loved you since the day you were born.I will love you always. My heart was yours for 24 years and you took most of it with you.I miss you every minute of every day. I will never forget you. I love you handsome.

Goodwin!! We had so many memories together in the past 3 years.. We were stupid rookie impact posts together and remained great friends years after. I will always rememeber my first encounter with you. It was the 4th of July standing in the rain at the south street seaport and i will never forget that day. You were the most incredible person ive ever met. I will never meet a person so funny, smart, passionate, crazy, and just an overall amazing human being.. Def my favorite human being ever! Everything that came out of your mouth was so unique and something no one would ever think of but you. I miss you everyday my mansky. You will never be forgotten. 
Btw i just pre ordered Skate 3 for xbox, im going to master it for you man. Rest in skate..Until we meet again wizard..

Chris you will be missed.  May God be with you and your family always.

11 days ago we were working out before your tour and I recommended you do MMA because you were so athletic and had a martial arts background. Your response was, "But I hate getting punched in the face!"...Somehow, bro, I bet you are punching an annoying angel in the face right now. God bless you Chris, God bless the Goodwin family, and God bless Rachael, as she stays strong in the face of tragedy...

Chris you had that awsome watch tattoo!!always in our thoughts forever

My God, Goodwin I can't believe you're gone!! We all went through so much in those 6 long months at the academy. My greatest memory of you was when every time we had meal at that pizzeria on the corner of 2nd & 20th, you would mimic the pizza guy by singing "OH, CHIC-KEN ROLLLLLL" *hahaha*, and that was our little inside joke. May God bless & keep you and your family forevermore. Keep watch over us brother, Company 07-28 for life!!

Chris,
Just a few memories I will hold in my heart-
   Everyday when I did roll call you would greet me with a big smile and say "Surrrrrgeantttt". Over the summer in rockaway you would watch the surfers and laugh when I wiped out then text me "this place sucks how do you live here". Workin out u had to listen to your music in the gym. You and logan attempting to change that flat tire. You and sinnona making south jamaica funny, always making me laugh "Sgt dont worry I dont think you're an EDP, lol"....  I never got to thank you for working so hard, for being so dedicated. You were the best cop I've known. Street smart, compassionate, respectful.  You had more integrity than anyone. I could count on you for everything. The 4x12's will never be the same, there is such a void in our hearts. The 103 will never be the same. My prayers are with your family and Rachael. It was an honor to work beside you Chris, may you rest in peace til we meet again...-

Dear Chris, you where one very special young man.I will always remember your smiling face when we worked together at the Ferry. Be at peace.Forever in our hearts.May God bless your family

So full of life thats what i will remember

Rachael, my heart is breaking for You and Chris' family at this time of deep sorrow. 
I hope your special memories of your relationship with Chris will help you through this very difficult time.

Officer Goodwin:

You were truly one of New York's Finest. From the moment I had the opportunity to work with you, I knew as an ADA I had little to worry about with you on the case. You were a good man and a good officer. I will miss you terribly, but keep in my heart always.

Love,
Heather
