Elliott LaRue Good — a devoted husband, father, brother, and cherished friend—passed away peacefully at his Oliphant home on October 9, 2025, at the age of 61, following a brief fight with cancer. He was surrounded by the love of his family at the time of his passing. Elliott’s pride and joy was his family. He is survived and deeply missed by his doting wife, Sandra, and his loving sons, Wesley and Hayden, whom he considered the proudest achievement of his life. For Elliott, every day was better when ‘the boys’ were home, and he often joked that he never wanted them to leave the nest. Though his career took him across North America and Europe, his best travels were always those shared with Wesley and Hayden, from coast to coast in Canada, to adventures in the Caribbean. He is fondly remembered by his sister, Jan (Charles White); his in-laws, David Mallard (Cecile) and Kathleen Creighton (Bruce); and his mother-in-law, Jeanette Mallard. Elliott now joins his parents, John and Helen Good; his brothers, Greg and Ted Good; his father-in-law, Jack Mallard; and his special canine companion, Lucy Magoo, who all predeceased him. Outside of the home, Elliott found joy in music—whether attending concerts, listening loudly and proudly on the stereo, or playing his guitar. Despite being a shy player, his passion was clear through his impressive guitar collection. He left the world listening to some of his favourite tunes. He also found peace in the sanctuary he and Sandra created at Bowes Island, where he loved listening to nature, playing horseshoes, and simply reveling in what they had built. No task there felt like a chore; it was always rewarding. He forged decades of memories with the “brotherhood” in Killarney—sharing fantastical stories (the best of which stayed at the camp) during deer hunts, fishing trips, and snowmobile adventures. He was an unwavering friend and shared a lifetime of memories with those in Oliphant and beyond worthy of a movie on the big screen. The family would like to express profound gratitude to the many special people who regularly dropped in, sent texts, delivered meals, and offered encouragement. Elliott felt all these kindnesses helped keep him tethered to life during his illness. A special thank you to Al, Cam, Dave, and Steve. The family is also eternally grateful for the kind and compassionate home care from his sister/nurse Jan White, Dr. David Diodoti, and Community Nurses Amber and Tammy from Care Partners. This exceptional team allowed Elliott to remain home and pass with dignity, pain-free. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 25, from 2 to 4 PM at the Thomas C. Whitcroft Peninsula, 272 Berford St., Wiarton (519) 534-5341. Please join his family to share laughter, memories, and appetizers, which Elliott always felt ‘capped off the night.’ We ask that you honor his memory not for the short illness that claimed him, but for the remarkable way he lived his life. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation – Wiarton or Bruce Peninsula Sportsmen Association are appreciated. Condolences may be expressed online at www.whitcroftfuneralhome.com
He was our music, our mischief, and our quiet.

October 21, 2025 at 6:54 amI’m deeply saddened by the passing of Elliott. He was the one who hired me at Webcom all those years ago, giving me an opportunity that shaped more than 20 years of my life. I’ll always remember his kindness, guidance, and the way he made everyone feel valued. Rest in peace, Elliott — you made a lasting difference.
Craig Collinge says

Lauren Parnell says
October 21, 2025 at 12:53 pmDear Sandra, Wesley and Hayden,
I was deeply saddened to learn of Elliott’s passing. I remember him fondly from my time at Webcom – he and my father were best buds, always heading out for their lunchtime walks, going for dim sum, chatting sports and family. I was fortunate enough to witness that camaraderie as a summer student and it left a lasting impression.
Elliott’s wit, his genuine kindness and the way he made others feel welcome – that stuck with me. He and my father used to always say they were a “match made in heaven”, save for the fact they were both already married. His humour will always be remembered.
Having faced the loss of a parent myself, Wesley and Hayden; my heart goes out to you. May you find comfort in all the memories you shared with your dad, and may the laughter and warmth he brought – both to his family and to friends like my father – continue to shine in your lives.
Please know I am holding your family in my thoughts during this difficult time.
Paul Kennedy says
October 21, 2025 at 3:38 pmI was so shocked and sorry to hear the news of Elliott’s passing.
While he worked in Toronto he would stay at my house and often we’d go out for wings to discuss work and world problems.
Although we never accomplished anything we had a lot of fun trying.
He would always phone home and I would hear him say to Wes 2 more sleeps and I’ll be home.
That was the sacrifice he made for his family.
He will be dearly missed by his family and friends.
Donna says
October 21, 2025 at 3:48 pmGreat memories of working with Elliott at Webcom, his kindness, his smile and his laugh. A priority focused young man in family and career. Condolences to his wife, children and family. Donna
Dodonna says
October 21, 2025 at 4:11 pmMy darling Elliot, I miss you so. Your beautiful family adopted me, you were my brother. I am heart broken by your loss but, I promise to check in with your beautiful family, and be there for them. I love you so much 💜
BRIAN CAMPBELL says
October 21, 2025 at 4:40 pmI met Elliott during my first week in a new role as the Western Regional Manager. I was told I would be training with the highly regarded Ontario Regional Manager. Elliott picked me up at Toronto Pearson … and two strangers began their week working together.
It quickly became evident to me that Elliott was a true professional and his customers luved him! He and I were only a couple years apart in age. As we logged many miles together we soon found out we shared many passions . Our mutual love for Family , Hockey, Music and our beloved Doodles!
We had a great week together and laughed often! Something that’s very easy to do with Elliott’s wit and intelligence.
At the end of our week, Elliott drove me back to the airport … we gave each other a hug and I headed back to the West Coast ready for my new role. Elliott and I continued as work colleagues and friends for the next five years.
As it happens sometimes … life took us both in different directions . We would message each other from time to time. Both of us stating that if either was in “our area”, we would get together.
When I heard of Elliot’s passing, it hit me hard! Elliot you are truly one of a kind & a class act!!
My condolences to the Good family. ❤️

Angie Metzger says
October 22, 2025 at 5:28 amSandy, Hayden, and Wes, I am so sorry for your sudden loss. Every memory I have of Elliott, there was a feeling of kindness from him, he was always smiling and joking around about something. He will be missed by many, including myself. Sending hugs.
Mike Collinge says
October 24, 2025 at 9:09 amWOW Elliott ….. life ain’t fair, but you never expected “fair”. You worked, cared and lived for every moment because they all counted …..
I had the honour to work with Elliott for >20 years at Webcom. Elliott was a groundbreaking leader who we all counted on to challenge the status quo and help us create “new solutions”. His work helped leading book publishers transition to new digital-world business models throughout Canada, USA and Europe. Elliott’s work supported the jobs, success of hundreds of our Webcom employees and their families – he made a difference to many often without much fanfare or deserved accolades.
As part of our Webcom leadership team Elliott was a builder. His family home in Wiarton an awe-inspiring example of having vision + the perseverance to create something from scratch. He was not daunted by the long journey or the many pitfalls you encounter along the way when creating something new. Elliott’s inner fabric was built from ‘resilient intelligence’ that helped us all learn and lead.
Elliott did not “suffer fools easily”….. he kept us all on our toes and on our game to keep consistent to our values, goals. I see these traits in many of heartwarming condolences posted here. He was curious, detailed, involved and a team player helping others unselfishly to build Webcom. His frankness could initially ‘rub some the wrong way’ until they found how committed he was to going the extra-mile to help them succeed.
Elliott’s friendships in Toronto centered around our work. I am forever grateful for the sacrifices he made building his career with us and balancing his time with Sandy/ his growing family. Everyday you would see Elliott + Glen + Ron + Paul sharing the joys/ mutual respect that only true buddies can share and then challenging each other to be the best they be could as part of our Team. Elliott was loyal to our company and all his Webcom peers – nice to have for fallback in difficult times.
Thank you Elliott for being there so often for me, for helping us grow and make difficult choices, for being a sincere and loving human. My/ our world is better off for our life-experiences with you,
Mike

Heartbroken to hear the news of Elliotts passing. So very sorry for the unimaginable loss to Sandy, Wesley, Hayden, and entire family. Elliott hired me after a failed attempt at branching out on my own…. I was a single mom with 2 boys. I had experience in Estimating and production from my time at Southam Murray. Elliott had concerns, but he hired me because he knew I needed the job. Eliott’s intelligence, work ethic, sense of fairness, and honesty were both formidable and a godsend to me. I learned so much from him…he challenged me, corrected me (often) tolerated me, and always, always treated me with respect. He knew my boys Ryan and Max were my whole life, and always asked me about them. Elliott worked incredibly hard and made such an impact on so many lives…including mine. I have been obsessively recalling so many memories…. crying, laughing…. He was unique, authentic, and anyone who was lucky enough to call him friend enjoyed his fierce loyalty. He will be missed but never forgotten. Hope you’re enjoying margaritas with Jimmy

October 25, 2025 at 9:04 amSandra, Hayden and Wes,
Our condolences at this incredibly hard, hard time. Our thoughts are with you all. We always had good conversations wherever we ran into Elliott. I will always remember when Elliott called me years ago (minor hockey days)to advise me that my email must have been scammed, Thank goodness he called me!
Elliott’s kind soul will be missed.
Again our thoughts are with you all. We are unable to make it to the funeral home today, our condolences.

Adrian Dale says
October 29, 2025 at 7:26 amI am truly sorry to hear of Elliott’s recent illness and passing. Elliott was a kind, caring and devoted man to his family, and was great friend & colleague. Elliott hired me in 1996 as a Marketing Intern at Webcom, and I had the privilege to work for him and with him for close to ten years.
We had many fun times with our work group, and I fondly remember our weekend visit to Oliphant along with Mike and Paul, likely 25 or so years ago.
I am very sorry for your loss and know that you will have countess memories to cherish your time together. My thoughts are with Elliott’s family and friends.
