Byron Keith Goines, 57, passed away on November 1, 2024, at Medical City General Hospital in Plano, Texas, surrounded by loved ones.
Born on December 11, 1966, in Evansville, Indiana, to Hazie and the late Marcie Diane Weekley Goines, Byron showed a love for reading comic books and basketball early on. He excelled at Evansville Christian High School, where he earned MVP honors, and later attended Hunting College and Vincennes University, focusing on Electronic Technology.
In 1994, Byron married Meshelle Carrethers, and together they founded Goines Electronics after moving back to Evansville from Minneapolis. They later relocated to Gary, Indiana, where they developed a radio ministry that spread the gospel across several states. Eventually, Byron and Meshelle moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas.
Byron was passionate about sharing Jesus' love, teaching the word of God through social media, and managing his website, GoodNewstothePoor. He often recorded music to support those in need. His favorite Bible verse was Romans 8:28.
He is survived by his wife, Meshelle Goines, of Plano, Texas; his father, Hazie Goines Sr.; his brothers, Kevin (Kendra) Goines, Brandon Goines, and Hazie Goines Jr.(Brianna); his mother-in-law, Poinciana Carrethers-Hayes; all from Evansville, Indiana.
His last words reflected 2 Timothy 4:6-8, emphasizing his readiness to meet the Lord after a life well-lived.
