I was born Oct. 13, 1954, the son of Richard and Marilyn Goodell in Duluth, Minn. I graduated class of 1973 from Fairmont High School, attended SMSU for two years, MSU for one year, and graduated JAVTI (Jackson, Minn.) in sales and marketing. I spent the next 25 years selling custom flexible packaging in the Midwest. In 2006, I moved to Canada and married everything I ever wanted, and then some in 2008.

Steve is survived by his wife, Deb; stepdaughter, Victoria; daughter, Erin Farland (Ryan); sons, Michael (Brittney), Brent and Christopher; granddaughter, Kayla Farland; grandson, Wyatt Farland; his sister, Jo Goodell-Holmes; nephew, Greg Holmes (Elsa); niece, Charito Teagarden (Joshua); and several great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, David; brother-in-law, Alan Goodell-Holmes; and his grandparents. A celebration of life will be held at a later date at St. John’s UCC in Fairmont, Minn. A church donation consideration would be greatly appreciated as St. John’s was my foundation for my faith. A committal service will also be held at a future date at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Orangeville, Ontario, Canada. I’m on my way knowing our paths will meet again. Thank you Fairmont for everything you have given me. Amen..Amen..Amen.. Steve
