Titus James Goodew was born February 29th, 1988. He died February 6th, 2011 in Brainerd, Minnesota at his home. Titus was born to Pastor Jim and Susie Goodew in Crosby Minnesota. Titus loved life. He was passionate about God's creation enjoying hunting, fishing, trapping, and photography. He loved to work, and there was never a job too long or hard for him. He was always up for a challenge. Titus attended Cedarville University and Central Lakes College where he learned about landscaping. In 2009 Titus started Living Waters Landscapers. As an outstanding athlete Titus took several teams to state in track, Nordic skiing, and cross country running. In college he excelled in the decathlon, mastering 10 different events and always pushing his teammates to jump higher, run faster, and last longer. Titus' teammates were a highlight of his life helping to form him into the successful man he was. As a son, brother, and teammate he will be missed and forever remembered as a caring and passionate man. He had a love for the Lord and those around him. He was a faithful member of Faith Baptist Church who served the Lord and strove to be a godly man. His encouragement and support will be greatly missed.
