Shamin Gooding

Shamin Gooding, 44, of High Point, passed away unexpectedly Friday, January 31, 2025, at his home.

He was born July 9, 1980, in New York, NY; to the late Richard Gooding and Bernice Bolden Campbell. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his daughter, Samaya Faulkner.

Shamin obtained his Associate degree from Queensborough Community in Queens, NY in Science in 2012.  He later moved to VA and thereafter to Slidell, LA.  Shamin was diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) prior to moving from New York, however the symptoms were not visible or life changing. Once he was unable to manage independently, he came to Greensboro and resided with his mother.  He later suffered two seizures, on after his daughter's death in May 2023, and another six months later.  He was trying to live independently in High Point, NC  since July 2024, until his demise.

Shamin enjoyed life to the fullest until he couldn't move around anymore.  He was able to attend his big brother, Victor's wedding in 2022 in Cancun, Mexico, wheelchair and all. He enjoyed traveling very much and spent six months in Norway.  These were just two off his adventures.  People that knew him, knew he was the life of the party.  Shamin will truly be missed by all who love him.

Left to cherish the good memories; his spouse, Shameka Gooding; his beloved mother, Bernice Campbell; brothers, Victor Campbell and wife Tiffany, Derrick Campbell, Shannon Bolden and Malik Gooding; and his sister, Shavoni Gooding; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins; along with very close friends from Jamaica, Queens, Antigua, W.I., Virginia and NC.

To all the family members and friends, too numerous to name; thank you for being a part of Shamin's life.
