William John Goldy

It is with great sadness that the family of William (Bill) John Goldy of Castle Pines Village and Edwards, Colorado announce his peaceful passing on April 19, 2025.

Bill’s life embodied both remarkable accomplishments and a broad range of endeavors. A multiple sport high school athletic star in Blackwood, New Jersey, Bill later had a successful career at St. John’s University in New York, where he was a three-sport, 11-time varsity athlete in baseball, basketball and track and field. Bill would later be inducted into the St John’s Hall of Fame.

After graduating with a BA in English Literature and a minor in Education from St. John’s, Bill went on to become a professional athlete, educator, football and lacrosse coach, executive with the Denver Broncos and an entrepreneur, starting his own company in 1996. Bill touched all of the bases – and, more importantly, he touched his family and friends with his warmth, kindness, patience and generosity.

Even with his long list of accomplishments, he knew his greatest success was his family. The time he spent with his wife, his children and grandchildren was the most important to him. His time was their time, his patience was legendary. Bill loved his time in the Colorado mountains at their home in Edwards and passed his love of nature, sports and the mountains along to his children and grandchildren.

Bill is survived by his wife of 62 years, Barbara Martini Goldy, his four children William (Amy Hocart) of South Carolina; Jacqueline (Chris Wachendorfer) of Colorado; Jennifer (Bruce DiBiase) of Colorado; and Scott (Kathleen Kuptz) of Colorado. He is also survived by ten grandchildren Grace, Will, Jay, Coady, Brooke, Brent, Morgan, Bridget, Sean and Georgia.

A Mass and Celebration of Life will be held at Regis Jesuit High School in the Blessed Rupert Mayer Chapel, 6380 S. Lewiston Way, Aurora, CO 80016, on Saturday, May 3rd at 1:30 PM.
