The minivan still carried the quiet signs of childhood — soft toys, small comforts, things meant to make a young boy feel safe. They belonged to a 6-year-old who believed his mother would be back for him, just like every other day. That mother was Renee Nicole Good.
That morning began gently. Renee walked her youngest child into school, shared a brief goodbye, and turned toward home. It was a simple moment of care, one she had lived countless times before. Hours later, her son remained at school, waiting — unaware that his mother would never return.
Renee was 37 when her life ended that Wednesday morning in a peaceful Minnesota neighborhood.
At home, Renee’s world revolved around raising three kids — a teenage daughter, a teenage son, and her youngest boy. Being present for them mattered more than anything else. Her days were built around protection, patience, and love.
Those who knew her say she carried herself with calm and kindness. She avoided conflict and lived quietly, never needing attention. Her early years in Colorado Springs were shaped by faith, church, and service. Music followed her through childhood, and later she found expression through writing. She earned an English degree in 2020 and received recognition for her poetry.
Renee Nicole Good should be remembered for who she was — a devoted mother, a thoughtful writer, and a gentle presence whose love mattered deeply. Her life deserves to be honored, and her name deserves to be remembered.
