Stanton Reynolds Goad, age 70 of Madison, passed away October 12, 2022. Stan was a Metro police officer for 30 years, and he considered it an honor and a privilege to serve the citizens of Nashville. After his retirement, he began working at Toliver’s Pawn Shop in Madison where he enjoyed making jokes and deals with customers and the other employees, most of whom became close friends to him. He was a member of the Madison Masonic Lodge and the Al Menah Shrine Temple. Stan loved photography, airplanes, a cup of coffee and a smoke, The Beatles, and being from Scottsville, Kentucky. He never met a stranger, and once he considered you a friend, he never let you leave without telling you he loved you and asking, “Do you need anything?” He loved all of his family fiercely, and he will be missed more than he could have ever imagined. Preceded in death by his father, William Ray Goad, Sr.; mother, Elena Goad Warden; step-father, Jake Warden. Survived by his daughters, Ashley King (Phillip) and Laura Katherine Brott (Sam); grandchildren, Grant King, Jackson King, Ryan King, Connor King, and Baby Boy Brott, arriving in December; mother of his daughters, Sandi Goad; brothers, Bill Goad and Pat Goad (Elaine); niece, Katie Perkins; nephew, Ryan Goad. Visitation will be at Phillips-Robinson Funeral Home Saturday, Oct. 15th from 11am until the time of services at 2pm, Reverend Paul Tucker officiating.
