Jonathan Paul Goodman

Jon Goodman, son of Frank and Helen (Bess) Goodman, passed away Monday night surrounded by family, his girlfriend Kim Matos and a posse of friends. He passed peacefully from complications of long standing heart disease. He was a self made man of many accomplishments and lived large. Among the many businesses he owned and ran were several tool businesses, a head injury rehabilitation business and recently the Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation business Daybreak in Levittown. Jon also worked in the Entertainment business. He co-managed Travis Tritt and Michael Peterson in Nashville at Falcon Goodman Management on Music Row. Jon was the first American to make and broadcast TV in the People’s Republic of China.

Jon was a staunch and faithful member of AA, and a champion of the Newcomer and the less fortunate.

He is survived by his daughter Grace Goodman and grandchildren Acacia and Miles Goodman. He will be reunited also in Heaven with his predeceased brother Mike and cherished daughter Kate Marie. His living siblings are sisters Kate Greenstreet and Kelley Falcon and brothers Frank and Billy Goodman.

There will be a Visitation at Wade Funeral Home, 1002 Radcliffe Street, Bristol PA on Saturday, May 3, 2025 from 11am until 1pm, followed by a brief Catholic Service. At 1:30pm, there will be a New Orleans style Second Line procession with a small brass band that will make a 15 minute joyous walk to Jon’s recently opened dining and entertainment spot, the All Saints Club. Everyone is invited to join the promenade!
