Obituary for Willie James Goins, Jr.

Willie James Goins, Jr., was born on August 10, 1953. His

parents were Mabel Sherman and the late Willie James Goins, Sr.

Willie was raised by his aunt, Jadelia, and uncle, the late E. R. Brooks

of Alachua, Florida. He attended Mills High School of Webster,

Florida, AL Mcbane, and Sante Fe High School of Alachua, Florida.

He attended Santa Fe Community College of Gainesville, Florida.

He served in the US Marine Corps from 1971 to 1973.



Willie met and married his wife of 50 years, Sharon L. Mitchell

Goins. Willie knew the service of the Lord at an early age, where

he attended St. Matthews Baptist Church as a Junior Deacon, and

later on in life, he was ordained as a Deacon at Mt. Zion MBC of

Clyattville, Georgia, under the leadership of Reverend Charles E.

Vinson, Sr. and later joined Mt. Calvary Baptist Church in Valdosta,

Georgia. After moving back to Florida, he joined Mt. Olive MBC

under the leadership of Reverend Roy W. Mitchell. Willie’s greatest

passion was singing. Willie was loved by his family and friends. He

will be greatly missed by both. We thank God for the life and legacy

of our dearly departed husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle,

and friend.
