DADA WITH LOVE WE REMEMBER IT BROKE OUR HEARTS TO LOSE YOU BUT YOU DID NOT GO ALONE FOR PART OF US WENT WITH YOU THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME. MY DEAREST HUSBAND AND MUCH LOVED FATHER

James Christopher Steven Godby, 26, was called home by his heavenly father on April 20, 2013. Christopher was a loving father, husband, son, and friend.
He is survived by his wife Hanna Godby, daughter Isabella Grace Godby, and baby Paisley Evelyn due in August; his parents Steven and Jackie Godby of Monroe, GA, sister Brandi Skinner, her husband Joshua and son Samuel; Grandparents George and Carolyn Godby of Milton, WV, Jack Blackwell of Ona, WV; Great-grandmother Eula Adkins of Ona, WV; and many loving uncles, aunts, and cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by Grandmother Betty Blackwell of Ona, WV.
Christopher was born September 22, 1986 in Monroe, Georgia and attended Monroe Area High School where he graduated in 2005. While in high school he enjoyed his time on the baseball field and working on cars. He leaves behind a beautiful young family that he adored, and in return, loved him, cared for him, and cherished him. Christopher was a devout Christian, a man of great honor and everlasting integrity. He was a hard worker who provided for his family without question, without a need for something more. Everyone who knew Christopher knew that being a family man was his first priority and that love never wavered.
His life-long dream was to become a police officer. He moved to Houston, TX just last year to fulfill his dream when he accepted the position as a detention officer with the Harris County Sheriff's Department. He was well on his way to achieving that dream.
We will never know why God chose to take Christopher from us but we do know that he will forever remain in our heart, soul, and in our lives.
A life celebration will be held at Faith Baptist Church, Monroe, GA., Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 11:00 AM.
