Jace Goff

Jace was the kind of person who left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He truly never met a stranger. With his contagious personality and sense of humor, he had a special way of turning any situation around, somehow making people laugh even when they were upset with him. His smile, energy, and presence could light up any room, and being around him was something people will never forget.

Jace loved life deeply and believed everyone should live theirs happily and without worry. He cherished every moment with his family and friends and made sure the people around him felt loved. Above all, he was an incredible Dada to his son, Liam, who was the center of his world. He was also overjoyed and excited to marry the love of his life, Jezebel, and looked forward to the beautiful future they planned to share together.

Just a week before last, Jace rededicated his life to God, finding renewed faith and peace in his heart. That decision reflected the hope, love, and strength that he carried within him.

Jace will always be remembered for his laughter, his big heart, and the joy he brought into the lives of others. One of his favorite sayings was, “I ain’t here for a long time, I’m here for a good time,” and that was exactly how he lived, embracing life fully, loving deeply, and making memories wherever he went.

Though his time here was far too short, the love he gave and the memories he created will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He will be deeply missed, forever cherished, and never forgotten.

Jace is survived by his fiancé Jezebel Gabriel and his son Liam Goff of the home, his mother Tanya Cooper and stepfather Mark Lemkelde of Poteau, Oklahoma, his father Courtney Goff and stepmother Karen Goff of Fort Smith, Arkansas, his brothers Kade Cooper, Colton Goff, and Jody Faldon, his grandparents Marilyn Hudspeth, Jody and Janet Cooper, and Toy and Debbie Goff, along with a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, other loved ones, and friends.
