Marc Goodman

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Marc S. Goodman on December 5, 2023 at Glen Oaks Hospital in Glendale Heights, IL at the age of 63.

Marc graduated from Maine East High School in Des Plaines, IL. He attended classes at Northern Illinois University and was a member of the Delta-Eta chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity. Marc was married to Priscilla “Pepsi” Donzelli in 1984 in Des Plaines. He worked at JRC Industries for over 20 years as a home showcase artist and cookware distributor. He later held various sales roles within AT&T and the Chicago Tribune. It was often said that he could sell ice to an Eskimo.

Marc was a loving husband, devoted father, caring friend, and compassionate grandfather. He was a devout follower of Christ and always put his faith first. He was a member of the First Assembly of God Church in Wheaton before joining Highpoint Church. Marc served in the children’s ministry for many years as children brought him so much joy. Marc was an avid animal lover and often spent time fostering the neighborhood cats. He enjoyed spending quality time with his family and grandchildren.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 39 years, Priscilla, sons David (Meagan) and Daniel (Deondra), daughter Valerie, mother Rosalyn, sister Saree (Victor), brother Alan, cherished grandchildren Justice (4), Jeremiah (4), Caleb (2), Judah (1) and Nathaniel (5 months) as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Eugene Goodman.
