Dennis Ray Goins

Dennis Ray Goins, age 66, of Corbin, KY, passed away at his home on Wednesday, January 10, 2024.

Born in Corbin, he was the son of the late Fred Goins and Ella Mayne Goins. Dennis lived a life full of joy; he never met a stranger and genuinely enjoyed the company of others. He was an avid U.K. fan and enjoyed the outdoors. Whether playing, coaching, or just as a fan, Dennis loved sports. In high school, he was a three-sport athlete, playing baseball, basketball, and football. While he enjoyed basketball the most, he excelled at all three sports. His greatest joy in sports was found in his children, Hannah and Kevin Goins. He always enjoyed playing ball with them and watching them compete and grow.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Larry Goins, and a sister, Donna Williams.

Dennis is survived by his children, Hannah Goins and Kevin Goins (Sydney); mother of his children, Kathy Gambrel Goins; siblings, Gary Goins (Kathy), Judy Mitchell (Willard), Brenda Martin, and Dallas Goins; and by numerous nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
