Andrew Cole Goforth, 43, passed away January 17, 2026, in McKinney, Texas.  He was born on December 3, 1982, in Kingsport, Tennessee, to his loving parents Charles D. Goforth, Jr. and Pamela (Napier) Goforth.

Andy was raised in Kingsport and remained proud of his hometown throughout his life. He graduated from Dobyns-Bennett High School in 2001 and later attended East Tennessee State University. He spent the majority of his adult life with Affinity Group, where his strong work ethic and natural ability to build relationships allowed him to create a work environment that felt more like family than friends.

Andy was blessed with two beloved daughters, Emma and Zoey, who were the center of his world and his greatest joy. He took great pride in being their father. A passionate sports fan, Andy was especially devoted to the Miami Hurricanes and enthusiastically followed anything the ’Canes played. He loved visiting as many Major League Baseball stadiums as possible and delighted in collecting sports memorabilia along the way.

Fantasy football was more than a hobby—it was a tradition and a passion.  His enthusiasm, loyalty, and love of sports were matched only by his devotion to family, leaving behind memories of a life lived with excitement, dedication, and heart.

Andy is survived by his fiancée, Jordan Hope Parlett of McKinney, Texas; daughters, Emma Allgood of Jonesborough, Tennessee, and Zoey Goforth of McKinney, Texas; mother, Pamela Goforth (Jose Sierra) of Kingsport, Tennessee; father, Charles D. Goforth, Jr. of Spring Branch, Texas;  half-sisters, Kelsey Walsh (Travis) of Kyle, Texas, and Courtney Goforth of Austin, Texas; and numerous family members and friends, who will miss him dearly and forever cherish his memory.

Andy was preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles and Bonnie Goforth, and grandmother, Louise Willis.

A celebration of Andy's life is being planned for March 20, 2026 in Kingsport, TN at Indian Springs Baptist Church.
