Dan Mitchell Godwin, 66, husband of Sara Beth Burgess Godwin, passed away Saturday, August 9, 2025 at McLeod Hospice House of Florence. He is now rejoicing in the presence of his Savior, free from pain and suffering.
Dan was born October 4, 1958 in Richland County, son of the late Carl L. Godwin and Mamie C. Godwin. Dan was a man of many traits and talents. He held positions as a sales representative and general manager for many years. He also established and operated his own small construction company until his health declined. Dan enjoyed cooking and baking cakes for family and friends. He was also a skilled woodworker who took pleasure in building and selling his furniture. Dan was passionate about sharing the love of God with others. He was a faithful member of Sandy Bay Pentecostal Holiness Church, where he served as a deacon, soloist, choir member, youth leader, and “chief cook and bottle washer” for Royal Rangers. Dan was known for his compassionate nature, giving spirit, witty sense of humor, and infectious laughter. His personality brought warmth and joy to everyone he encountered. Dan poured out from the strength of Christ within him and a favorite scripture was Philippians 4:13 “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Surviving Mr. Godwin in addition to his wife Sara Beth, are his children, Candace (Benji) Powell of Kingstree; and Christopher Roth of Lakeland, FL; 5 grandchildren, Rivers Powell, MaKenzie Powell, Jordan Roth, Alyssa Roth, and O’Neil Roth; sisters, Jean (Daniel) Chandler, of Lake City, Susan Godwin of Scranton and Wanda Godwin of Lakeland, FL; and brothers, Stan (Scarlett) Godwin of Raleigh, NC and Mitchell (Michelle) Godwin of Summerville.
In addition to his parents, Dan was preceded in death by a daughter, April McKenzie; daughter-in-law, Rebecca Roth; sisters, Janet Murdock and Wilda Lee; and brothers, Carl Godwin, and Keith Leavens.

Our beloved brother Dan was a hero. A modern day good Samaritan who never passes by on the other side, and is always willing to lend a Helping Hand. If you look up the meaning of “good neighbor” in the dictionary, you would see a picture of brother Dan. And, like a good neighbor, he has always been there for over 25 years.
We love and miss him dearly.
May the Holy Spirit, the great comforter, comfort this wonderful family during this time of loss.
We are keeping you all in prayer.
So sorry to hear about the passing of Dan. I remember him from school mainly. He was always friendly when I seen him. He was such a good man. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May God give them strength through this sad time.
Sorry to learn of Dan’s passing I remember him during our school days. He was a good guy I considered him a good friend. To Stanley,Susan,and Jean and the other family members I didn’t know personally I am truly sorry for your loss
I hadn’t seen you in a while but there on one of my hardest days a day of my first Cancer infusion sat Mrs SaraBeth and as we sat and talked they wheeled Mr Dan out in a wheel chair and though he appeared battle worn in appearance I remember thinking about how strong he was and I knew it was God. I am praying for you all. My heart breaks for you all. I know its a hard one to handle but I also know that you are rejoicing at his reaching his heavenly destination where there will be no more pain or tears and he will wait there for you to also enter in. Though its hard because his absence is deeply felt, he lives on in the heart and soul of each person he has touched with his life. Welcome home good and faithful servant. Take your rest and enjoy you reward Brother. You found the Lily in your valley. With great sadness and admiration I say I will see you when I get there Brother Dan and we will rejoice together again. Family. I love you all. Prayers and love go out to and for each of you. Just remember we all gotta take this journey one day. If you are ready this separation is temporary. Be ready ok.
Mrs. Sara Beth, Candace, and family,
You will be in my prayers.
