Marc Goumillout

May 26, 1954 - January 19, 2024

On Friday, January 19th, Marc Goumillout passed away in Salem, Virginia at the age of 69. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Janice; their two sons, Eric and Ian; his brother, Leslie; and his sister, Claudette.

In 2022, Marc and Janice retired their landscaping business and relocated to Salem to be close to their new grandson, Eli. Prior to the move, they had been longtime residents of Decatur, Georgia, where they raised their family and Marc pursued a career in audio visual engineering.

Marc held nothing back and devoted himself to his passions including his love of music and playing drums in several bands, a lifetime with his high school sweetheart, cheering on his boys at every soccer game, keeping up with politics and current affairs, and slaying his greatest foe, cancer. (“F cancer,” as Marc would say.)

And though he is with us no more, Marc’s legacy endures in the passions and traditions he and his wife passed down to their sons, who now fill their own homes with the music, family dinners, and anatomically correct Christmas cookies of their childhoods.

To honor Marc's love for music and his compassion for helping others, his family asks that contributions be made to one of the initiatives below in lieu of flowers and other tributes.
