Wayne Francis Goodrum

June 16, 1946 ~ November 12, 2022
Wayne Goodrum, 76 of Princeton IL and Saint Germaine WI, passed away on November 12th, 2022.
Wayne was born in Reedsburg, WI to Joseph and Margie Haugh. After Wayne graduated from Princeton High School in 1965, he went on to serve in the United States Navy.
Through his years, Wayne enjoyed an adventurous life filled with snowmobile racing, street stock car racing, bowling, fishing, and other adventures.
Wayne has lived most of his life in Princeton, IL, but often adventured back and forth to Saint Germain, WI, where he finally returned to in his later years. Wayne was known locally as a master carpenter who often built homes from the literal ground up, using his skill, vision, hands and sweat.
Wayne is survived by his brothers (Mick, Dennis, and Randy), his daughter Jessica, his nieces and nephews and other extended family.
Wayne’s friends and family are invited to share happy memories and celebrate Wayne’s life in the way he would want to be remembered - as a unique, adventurous, one-of-a-kind man.
