Don Goin, age 77 of Bruner, Missouri took his flight to Heaven, early Tuesday morning, March 31, 2020. He was born September 23, 1942 in Oldfield, Missouri the son of Olen and Fay Goin.
During his childhood, Don lived in Washington state and later moved to Ava, Missouri as a teenager. In 1966, Don was united in marriage to Carol Thompson and together they shared 53 years of marriage. They planted their roots in Bruner where they raised two daughters, Ambrea and Tina.
Don worked hard supporting his family doing masonry and construction work. He also took great pride in raising Angus cattle, working his farmland and caring for his family in every way possible. As a small child it was evident that Don was also blessed as a talented artist. His passion and creativity grew throughout his life and later became his full time profession. From paintings to bronze sculptures, Don sold his pieces all over the United States. He won many awards for his beautiful pieces and was never happier than when he was working in his foundry.
Don is survived by his loving wife Carol (Thompson) Goin; two caring daughters Ambrea Payne and husband Kevin of Sparta, Missouri and Tina Bentch of Battlefield, Missouri. Don truly loved and was involved in the lives of his three grandsons, Taylor Payne and wife Kelsey, Austin Payne and Easton Bentch. Don held great joy for his great-grandson Beckett Payne. He is also survived by a sister Loretta Ewing and husband Gary of Bruner, Missouri; brother Kenny Goin and his wife Ann of Oldfield, Missouri. Don will be sadly missed but he will live on in the hearts of his family and many friends.

Wonderful memories are in my thoughts of an almost unbelievable human who is talented, hard working and generous. However, Don was always a True Human Being (highest Naive American praise for a person). May you be comforted by light and love.

April 3, 2020 at 8:42 pmDon was a good man. He was a very talented artist and sculptor. I loved his drawings and paintings. I’ve had “The Guardian” hanging in my den for many years. As cousins, I’ve enjoyed sharing our family history with each other. I only regret that we did not do it more often. He will be missed.

April 30, 2020 at 9:12 amI am very shocked and saddened by learning this news. I have always loved and admired Don & Carol. We Lost touch for many years, since i had moved away but when i moved back to this area, I ran into him at the store, and took for granted that I
would again. A lesson learned. Never take life for granted. My heart goes out to you Carol and your family. Another angel made it to heaven
