John Godwin Obituary

Great guy! Showed me a lot as an incoming freshman to CofC. Very calm and soft spoken, but with a strong presence. Will be truly missed!

I knew Kenny at the College of Charleston. What a fun person to work with! His laugh was contagious. We worked on a book together ... but never published it. I hope to finish it in the near future. Maybe some of the proceeds, if it sells, can be donated to his family. I am sorry I lost touch with him after I moved from Charleston. I am very happy to have spent a little time with him.

I met John about 20 years ago at Northside Baptist Church. I believe he and Julie were newly married and starting out in life together. We had long talks about him getting a job at SPAWAR and I was so happy when he finally attained his goal. John was driven, intelligent, and thoughtful. I always cherished those rare moments when we would see each other at work. We would always stop to talk and catch up with one another. A few minutes ago I was reading our weekly summary of important events and I saw the note of John's passing. I literally let out a gasp since this was so very unexpected. Wow, I still just cannot believe this. My heart goes out to Julie during this very difficult time. My God's grace comfort you, Julie, and may you lean heavily on Him in the days ahead. I have lived a long time and seen many things but I'm not sure I will ever understand losses such as this. God bless...

Julie, sending you and your family strength and peace during this sad and difficult time.
Hold on to your memories and know that they are always with you.

John and I worked together a while ago. I knew that he became a supervisor and then emailed him a few months ago about work. I just can't believe he passed! He was truly a fine human being who would give you the shirt off of his back. He embodied a truly good leader. I'm so sorry the world no longer has him in it. I never met Julie or Aly but I'm sure you both know what I'm saying. I hope you both are able to cope and heal through your family and friends.

John has left everyone too soon, but find peace and comfort that he is watching over you and still present in your hearts. Julie, Aly, and the entire family, you will be in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult and sad time.

Julie,
You have been so strong and positive for my client MJ and such a delight to work with over the past months. May you find the strength to continue in that spirit. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter.

Julie and Aly, may God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. I attended CofC my freshman year where John was a strength and conditioning trainer with the volleyball team. My condolences to you and the rest of his family.

Julie,

We have never met but I have know John through work for many years. I was shocked to hear of John's early departure. It is comforting to know he had Christ in his life. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged for the Lord our God will be with you wherever you go.

John will be forever remembered! My first strength and conditioning coach! Great heart and great guy! Peace and blessings!

Ken and Carolyn,

Love always,

My sincere condolences to the family. You're in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. You can be assured that God feel your pain. You can call to God in your distress and he answered you. (Psalms 120:1) May you trust in God at all times and pour out your heart before him. He will hear your cry for help and give you comfort. Your family and friends have my deepest condolences.

Hi Ken and Marilyn. Please know you are all in my heart today. I just found out. My heart is broken. I keep thinking about how I use to tease you asking if John Iiked older women. I'm not in Charleston due to some health problem, or I would be there with y'all. All my love and peace to you guys. Ken, I still love, miss and think about you and the good times we all had together.

Ken and Marilyn
So very sorry to hear about your beloved son John.. Our hearts hurt for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family..

John was a kind and humorous supervisor who always took time out to guide his subordinates or to listen to work issues and provide advice. He was approachable and would often carve time out of his schedule the same day he was contacted if I had questions. His love for Christ truly shined through his spirit and demeanor. I only knew him as my supervisor for the past two years, but he has truly made a deeply positive impact on my life and professional approach.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Gone from our sight, but never from our heart.

No words can describe the pain of the hole left behind when John left this world. Despite having lost touch over several years, John 's place in my heart and mind are permanent. I have been blessed to call him friend, and my mind is a whirl with memories.

John was a giant of a man. His faith and commitment to family and to Christ as a godly example of Christian living will perhaps be missed most with his earthly absence. No words can offer comfort in such a time, I know, dearest Julie. But John's legacy is strong, and this warrior is now with his King.

Lovingly yours, always-
Dawn "Muda" Duran

The John Bunn Family is in prayer for you. God bless you.

Julie & Aly,

What can I say other than I am shocked and saddened to hear of news of John's passing.

I worked closely with John for many years when he was a student at the College of Charleston. This in turn grew into a friendship. Although John was dedicated to his field of study, most importantly I learned of John's deep love for Christ and both of you.

Although in recent years I only bumped into John occasionally, each time our banter picked up where it left off. John was the master of dry humor, enhanced through his deadpan delivery.

I take comfort in the knowledge that John is with the Lord. Please know that Melanie and I are praying for you.

I am so very sorry to learn of John's passing. I know your faith is strong but I am so saddened that you and Aly have to endure this untimely heart break. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sean & I have only known John a few short years but feel so blessed to have had such a wonderful neighbor and friend. Our spontaneous get togethers in the neighborhood brought a lot of laughs and good times. Our heart aches for Julie and Aly and we will miss him dearly.

To the Bereaved Family and Friends,

You have my deepest sympathy for the lost of such
a friendly and nice person that I can remember being
willing to lend a hand when asked.

My sincere condolences to the Godwin family. I knew John from his days at the College of Charleston. He was one of a kind and will be missed by many who's heart he touched. He's gone on to be with The Lord, rest peacefully my friend.

I will miss John. He was my friend.

Ken and Marilyn,
I'm just so devastated by this news. What an amazing man John turned out to be! I can't imagine what such a loss must feel like, but please know that Lori and I are praying for you both- that the Lord will give you His very presence to provide the comfort you desperately need. I've never known finer people than than you two. Thanks for being such wonderful neighbors when Lori and I were just kids and needed to see the wonderful example of marriage you both provided for us. Again, please know our thoughts and prayer are with you!

May God Bless and You All in Prayer.

Although John and I worked together as fellow supervisors, he and I really became friends over the years. I will truly miss his hearty laughter. RIP my friend.

In Wonderful Memory

Julie and Aly,
I am so grieved to hear of the passing of your loving husband and dad. He was a wonderful man that loved you two well . The fact that he was deeply involved in children's ministry speaks volumes as to how serious he took the gospel. I will be praying that you feel the love , peace, and comfort of your Heavenly Father in a way you never imagined. Please know how very much you are loved .

Much love,
Amy Adkins

John was a good man and will be missed by all. I've known him since high school and although we never really hung out much i still considered him a good friend.Rest in peace
