William J. "Bill" Goodwin, Jr.
Funeral Director
Bill Goodwin has faithfully managed and operated Housh-Goodwin Funeral Home in Sarcoxie, Missouri since 2012, serving families with dignity, compassion, and respect.
Before entering funeral service, Bill retired in 2009 after a successful career as a manager in the heavy construction industry, where he developed the leadership and organizational skills that continue to guide his work today. He also holds a license in real estate and remains active in the community through his service on the Sarcoxie Cemetery Board and as a member of the Sarcoxie Lions Club.
Bill’s personal journey has shaped the way he serves. Following the heartbreaking loss of his grandson, Jace, he came to understand grief on a deeper, more personal level. That experience gave him an even greater empathy for the families he walks alongside, allowing him to serve with sincerity and compassion that comes only from a personal understanding.
Family is central to Bill’s life. He and his wife, Pam, were married in 1976 and enjoy life on their small acreage just north of Oronogo. Together, they cherish time spent with their three sons — B.J., C.J., and David — along with their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and their beloved dachshund, Bailee.
One of Bill’s greatest honors has been the opportunity to serve alongside his son, B.J. Goodwin, the owner of Housh-Goodwin Funeral Home. Supporting B.J. in establishing the family’s profound commitment to funeral care has been both a privilege and a source of pride.
Bill’s leadership is grounded in professional excellence, heartfelt care, and a deep appreciation for the small-town spirit of Sarcoxie. He values the closeness of the community and considers it an honor to serve families he has known for years. For Bill, funeral service is more than a profession — it is a true calling. Walking with families through their hardest moments requires both heart and grit, and he is dedicated to meeting each family’s needs with patience, strength, and compassion.
After years of service, both professionally and personally, Bill is proud to say that Sarcoxie will always be home. The people, the traditions, and the small-town spirit make his work not just a calling, but a privilege.
