Liam Thomas Goff

March 29, 2014 ~ July 31, 2026

Born in: Council Bluffs, Iowa
Resided in: Mandan, North Dakota

Liam Goff passed away unexpectedly on Friday, July 31, 2026, at Sanford Hospital in Fargo, at the age of 12, surrounded by his loving family.

Liam was born on March 29, 2014, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, the son of Jacob and Nicole (Meyer) Goff. Liam was a fun-loving, creative, and energetic boy who enjoyed doing the things that made him happiest. He loved riding his e-scooter, playing guitar, drawing, and creating and writing his own comics.

He could often be found building with Legos and playing video games, especially Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer. Most of all, Liam loved spending time with his family and friends and simply hanging out and having fun. He was blessed with many good friends at his middle school in Mandan who brought much happiness to his life.

Liam was deeply loved by his parents, Jacob and Nicole Goff of Mandan, ND; his little brothers, Jasper, age 6, and Milo, age 1; his grandparents, Greg and Sandy Meyer and Nick and Kendra Leibold; his aunts and uncles, Tonia and Trinity Dale, Shawn and Mackenzie Meyer, and Joshua Meyer; and his cousins, Killian Dale, and Brass, Cohen, and Rowe Meyer. He will be missed more than words can express by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to Furry Friends Rocking Rescue in Bismarck, ND.

A Celebration Gathering will be held at Signature Events in Mandan, ND, on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 4:00 to 5:30 PM.
