\t\t\tIvan Bliss Goddard \t\t<\/p>\n
\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ivan Bliss Goddard, who left us on June 3, 2026, at the age of 52. Born in British Columbia, Canada to American parents Clark and Irene Palermo Goddard, Ivan lived most of his life in San Jose, graduating from Willow Glen High School. He was preceded in death by his parents.<\/p>\n
For many years Ivan worked as a skilled tradesman with his brother in the Goddard Tile business, although his life\u2019s passion was music.<\/p>\n
Ivan found joy in playing the guitar and writing original music. He performed with several regional bands on drums and guitar. Music was more than a hobby; it was a way for him to express himself and connect with others. He also dedicated countless hours to restoring his 1971 Plymouth, a project that reflected his patience, craftsmanship, and appreciation for timeless design.<\/p>\n
Ivan is survived by his brother Emil of San Jose, sister Debra Feskens of Salem, Oregon, loving nieces Emily and Elliana of San Jose and nephew Nick Feskens of Eugene, Oregon.<\/p>\n
Their lives were enriched by his steady presence and he will be remembered for the music he created, the work of his hands, and the love shared with family and friends. Ivan will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.<\/p>\n
A funeral service celebrating Ivan\u2019s life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, July 31, 2026, at Santa Clara Mission Cemetery. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ivan Bliss Goddard OBITUARY It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ivan Bliss Goddard,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":416810,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89],"class_list":["post-416809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416809"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416809\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
