Chief Goodson was a remarkable young man with a kind spirit. I never remember meeting him when he wasn't smiling and plesant. Everyone that knew him liked him. I had nothing but respect for him as a professional and a fellow Lumbertonian. He will be truly missed. God bless his family today and always.

MPO Goodson,

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. My condolences to your family, friends, and agency; who are now forced to move forward with a huge whole in their heart. I never met you but I feel like I know you just the same. Words will never be able to replace you in their hearts, but I think they should know that you are an example of service to your family, friends, agency, community, this state, and our great nation. Without knowing you, I would bet that there was no other place you would have rather been at that moment. Rest in peace, you have earned it.

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -- John Stuart Mill

Thank you for being a better man than most and fighting for those that can’t or won’t. I would like to borrow a toast from our military to celebrate who you are.

To us, and those like us.
Damn few.

Officer Goodson was always smiling and joking around with others. He would always try to make you smile. When he came in to sign a gun permit he would always try and make you smile. For sure if you were having a bad day and he came in by the time he left you had a smile on your face. My condolences to the family. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

Rest In Peace Officer Jeremiah Goodson, God Bless your family.

There are not enough good things said about the people that
put themselves in harms way every day for us.
What does that say about us?

PLEASE REMEMBER ME AND MY FAMILY
I have laid down my life in service to all of you.
I have been a part of the fabric that has held the line between your safety and your victimization.
As I now become a part of the rich history of law enforcement, please remember me always for I have left behind those who loved and depended upon me.
I have given my life so that others may live in peace.
My partners and my agency, please remember my family, their loss, and don’t let time soften your compassion for them.
You guard the gate now and I will continue my watch from above.

I met Jeremiah while working at Lumberton High he was a very nice young man, every time I would see him he was always amiling or joking around. He was to me a very friendly man. We will miss you and that smile you always wore on your face. May GOD bless your family.
