Most of you knew Jerry as "Bud" or, affectionately, as "Fafa." He could get along with most anyone, talk for hours, and had a smile that lit up the room. He was a long-distance truck driver for over 30 years then spent the rest of his career as a diesel mechanic. He loved driving and working on trucks. He also had a love for remodeling old vehicles, particularly painting them. Despite his many hobbies, his main passion was his two granddaughters. He raised his granddaughter, Ashley, and was very involved in her life, particularly with horses, barrel racing, traveling all over during high school rodeo with her, and any other shenanigans she would get him into. That did not change when his great-granddaughter, BentLee, was born; he continued to be very involved in her love of horses, traveling to horse shows, barrel races and rodeos with her - taking her to Texas, Oklahoma, and anywhere else she asked him to go. He spent many days of retirement taking BentLee and her friends to Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A, or anywhere else they wanted. He enjoyed assisting his wife at home and was currently rebuilding a classic truck with his son, Jamey.

Funeral services for Mr. Goswick will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday, March 28, 2025, in the chapel of Peeples Funeral Home with Rev. Danny Cochran officiating. Interment will follow at Murray Memorial Gardens.

The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Thursday from 6:30 pm until 9:00 pm.

Peeples Funeral Home & Crematory of Chatsworth has been entrusted with the arrangements for Jerry Lane Goswick.
