On a quiet winter morning in Minneapolis, an ordinary routine ended in a way few could have imagined. The loss of Renee Nicole Good has left her neighborhood shaken, not only because of the events of January 7, 2026, but because of who she was to those around her. Renee was not a public figure or someone who sought attention. She was a familiar presence, a trusted neighbor, and a steady, gentle part of everyday life for many people who crossed her path.
Renee was 37 years old and a devoted mother of three. Creativity shaped much of her life. She studied creative writing, earned recognition for her poetry, and held a lasting love for music and thoughtful expression. Friends remember her as reflective and kind, someone who valued listening and meaningful conversation. In recent years, she centered her days on her children, finding purpose in simple routines, shared moments, and the quiet work of caring for her family.
