Chandler Lee Goins, 19, of New Kent, VA finished his earthly assignment on November 26, 2023.
Born May 2, 2004 to Wayne and Maxine Goins, he was raised and lived his entire life in New Kent County. Chandler was a larger-than-life personality. He could light up every room he was in, and most likely had everyone laughing by the time he left. Chandler was a 2021 graduate of New Kent High School and was employed with Henderson, Inc.
He enjoyed life to the fullest and was rarely seen without a smile on his face. While his life was much shorter than we would have liked, we must remember what Chandler would say, “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough”. Chandler was preceded in death by his grandfather, Arnold Goins, and cousin, Ean.
He is survived by his parents, Wayne and Maxine Goins; brothers, Austin Goins (Lauren) and Dylan Goins (Kayleigh); grandparents, Karen Goins, Joyce and Waitman Vaughan, and Claudette Prince “Mama C”. He is also survived by aunts and uncles, Michael and Sonya Goins, Gene and Brenda Goins, Marie Prince, Ashleigh and Brad Thomas, Travis and Jessica Prince, and Wesley and Liz Prince; as well as his cousins, Savannah, Tucker and Maverick.
A celebration of Chandler’s life will be held 1 p.m., Saturday, December 2, 2023, at the Rockadome in Rockahock Campground, 1428 Outpost Rd, Lanexa, VA 23089. In lieu of flowers or memorial donations, make your best efforts to have a good time and always take care of each other.
