Curtis Von Goodwin was 37 years old when he was last reported seen on October 1, 2018, in Ozark, Missouri. He was a male whose name later appeared among missing-person case updates maintained by The Charley Project, which listed Curtis Von Goodwin in its March 6, 2024 update archive, showing that his disappearance had become part of the broader public record of missing-person cases followed online.
The available public information does not provide a detailed account of the circumstances leading up to the moment he was last seen, and there are no clear, sourced details explaining whether he left voluntarily, was traveling, was in distress, or was expected somewhere and never arrived. What remains in the public record is the ache of absence: a man in the prime of adulthood, connected to family and loved ones, whose disappearance left people searching for answers.
The record that later emerged about Curtis is sparse but deeply human. His obituary identifies him as the son of Paul Goodwin and Sharon Kay Nelson Goodwin, and it names surviving family members, including his father, his son Braxton Williams, his daughter Natalie Goodwin, and his brother Chris Goodwin. Those details matter because they place Curtis beyond the boundaries of a case file. He was not only a missing person entry or a name on an update list; he was a son, a father, a brother, and a member of an extended family with roots across communities in Missouri and beyond. The obituary also records that he was preceded in death by his mother, Sharon Kay Goodwin, and by several grandparents, connecting his story to a wider family history marked by both love and loss.
The information now available indicates that Curtis Von Goodwin is no longer an active missing-person case and that he was located deceased. His obituary, carried by Adams Funeral Home and also republished by Legacy, states that Curtis was born on August 25, 1981, and passed away in 2019. The exact date is unknown from the publicly available wording, because the obituary page itself is associated online with April 2, 2024, while the obituary text states that he passed away in 2019; without a more precise public record, the information remains vague and should be treated carefully. What can be said with compassion and caution is that the uncertainty surrounding his disappearance eventually ended in sorrow rather than reunion.
After Curtis’s passing was acknowledged publicly, other family records continued to reflect his place in the Goodwin family. The 2025 obituary for his father, Paul Bryan Goodwin of Sparta, Missouri, lists Curtis Von Goodwin among the loved ones who had predeceased him, while also naming Curtis’s children among Paul’s grandchildren. That later family notice reinforces the same painful truth shown in Curtis’s own obituary: his absence became part of the family’s ongoing story, and his memory remained tied to the people who survived him. In overview, Curtis Von Goodwin’s case began as the disappearance of a 37-year-old man last seen on October 1, 2018, in Ozark, Missouri; it entered public missing-person records with limited details available; and it was ultimately resolved with the regrettable confirmation that Curtis had been located deceased, with public sources indicating only that he passed away in 2019 and leaving the exact date unclear.Last Seen: Oct 1, 2018
