Mr. Kenny Goggans, Jr., 42, beloved husband of Mrs. Penny Michael Goggans, unexpectedly entered into rest on Sunday, March 22, 2026, leaving behind a life defined by love, devotion, and the quiet ways he cared for those around him.

Kenny’s greatest joy was his family. He was a proud and devoted husband to Penny and a loving father to their cherished sons, Riley, Wyatt, and Konnor Goggans. Whether cheering from the sidelines, recording wrestling matches so no moment would be forgotten, or simply spending time together at home, Kenny found his happiness in the lives of his boys.

He is also lovingly remembered by his parents, William Kenneth Goggans, Sr. and Deborah Tice Rhoden, by his sister and brother, Lita Bradshaw (Jason) and Sean Goggans, and his nieces and nephews, who will all forever hold close the bond they shared.

Born in Augusta, Georgia, Kenny was a hardworking and dedicated man. He faithfully worked as a machine operator with Bridgestone for many years, earning the respect of his coworkers through his strong work ethic and steady presence. Beyond his work, Kenny was a man of faith and service. As a devoted member and deacon of Warrenville First Baptist Church, he quietly lived out his faith, offering his time, support, and kindness to his church family.

Kenny had a simple, genuine way about him. He enjoyed fishing, video games, had a knack for “tinkering” and fixing things around the house, and found contentment in the everyday moments of life.

He never met a stranger only friends he hadn’t yet made. Whether standing in line at the store or passing through his day, he had a gift for striking up a conversation with anyone and everyone. His easy smile, warm spirit, and genuine interest in others left a lasting impression, turning even the simplest moments into meaningful connections.

More than anything, he will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his gentle spirit, and the way he showed up day after day for the people who meant the most to him.

Though his time here was far too short, the love he gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Mr. Anthony Frank Medico, a beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend, passed away suddenly on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the age of 67. Anthony was a resident of Graniteville, South Carolina, at the time of his passing.

Born on September 22, 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts, Anthony was the son of the late Josephine (Innello) Medico and Peter Medico, Jr.

Left to cherish his memory along with his wife Dianne (Burden) Medico of 40 years and sister Mary (Medico) Gaffey (David) are his children Maghen Phillips (Chris), Andrew Medico and Matthew Medico. Anthony was also Grandpi to four grandchildren Chase Lathrop (Katherine) of California and Alexis (Lathrop) Hernandez (Alex), Jaeden Lathrop and Jack Phillips of Georgia, along with two great-grandchildren, Avery Hernandez and Evelyn Hernandez, also from Georgia. Additionally, he is also survived by two nephews and numerous cousins.

Anthony was a life-long resident of Massachusetts, until he moved to Florida in 2018 to be closer to his father, Peter and help take care of him. Peter and his late wife, Josephine would escape the southern heat in Florida by spending the summers in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, with Anthony and his family. Anthony moved from Florida to South Carolina in 2024 to be closer to his daughter, Maghen and her family which included his grandchildren. At that time, Peter, now in his 90’s was part of the eight-hour drive to relocate from Florida to South Carolina, so Anthony could continue to help with his care.

A proud veteran, Anthony served his country with honor in the United States Army. After his military service, he worked security at Boston Garden, then worked in financial services at State Street Bank. He ended his career working at several branches of the YMCA in Stoughton, Massachusetts and Riverview, Florida, where his passion was teaching children and adults with disabilities how to swim and be safe in the water. After retirement, he wanted to keep busy and productive, so he joined a volunteer emergency team that assisted the local ambulance company in Sun City, Florida. He left the volunteer opportunity to have more time to care for his dad.

Anthony had a passion for Boston Sports teams, that included the Boston Bruins, the Boston Red Sox, the Boston Celtics, but especially the New England Patriots, where he got to see them win six Super Bowl Championship titles. This was made even more special by the tradition of watching the Super Bowl with his 3 best friends, Bill Hall, Joe Hurley and Fran Barry. The tradition continued in 2019, when Bill, Joe and Fran traveled from Massachusetts to Florida to still watch the game together, and that year the Patriots won the Super Bowl!

Anthony was very active in his two son’s activities. He coached Little League and P*e Wee football and also served as a Scout Leader for many years, when his two sons were involved in scouting. To recognize his outstanding contributions in helping guide and lead numerous Scouts achieve the highest rank of Eagle Scout, he was awarded the Order of the Arrow, which is the highest recognition a Scout Leader can attain.

Anthony and his wife Dianne loved to spend time together, especially if it was for DIY projects, ranging from outdoor landscaping to indoor home improvements. If it was something they thought they could do, they would do it together. Some memorable DIY projects included installing a half bathroom, creating and installing a custom closet system, refinishing furniture and building planter beds. In retirement, taking long walks together with their son Matthew’s dog, Ozzy and taking day trips to explore Florida and South Carolina brought them great joy.

Anthony was also an avid bike rider and enjoyed being on the water, whether swimming and teaching his children and grandchildren how to swim, or boating at Borden Light Marina. His boat was named “My Poopsie”, which was his affectionate name for his wife, Dianne. He also loved to travel with family and visited Arizona, Virginia, Hawaii, Italy, Germany and many Caribbean Islands on several cruises with his wife, Dianne. But his all-time favorite travel destination was Disney World, where he could enjoy being a kid with his children and grandchildren. Anthony has several prized Disney memorabilia items that he proudly displays to remember his travels.

Anthony will be remembered by his generosity for helping others and his devotion to life-long friendships. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

In lieu of flowers, to honor Anthony’s love of dogs, the family requests donations be made to: � Friends of the Animal Shelter, Aiken, SC

Mrs. Irma will be remembered as a woman of deep faith, quiet strength, and unwavering devotion to her family.

Together, they shared in a life of service, touching countless hearts at Pine Grove Baptist Church in Lugoff, St. Helena Baptist Church in St. Helena Island, King Grove Baptist Church in Swansea, and Clearview Baptist Church in Augusta, where her gentle spirit and servant’s heart left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

Later in life, Mrs. Irma became a cherished member of the Wal-Mart #514 family, where she served in support management and formed many lasting and meaningful friendships. Known for her strong work ethic and determined spirit, she took genuine pride in every task she undertook. Beyond her work, she found her greatest joy in caring for others—preparing meals filled with love, tending her garden with patience, and nurturing her home with her own hands, creating a place of warmth and comfort for all who entered.

Considering Mrs. Keenan’s devotion to her church, the family request that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to Green Pond Baptist Church,
PO Box 91, Jackson, SC 29831.

Her life was a beautiful reflection of love, service, and faith, and her memory will be treasured by all who were blessed to know her.
