Danielle Nichole Goldberg

Danielle Nichole Goldberg February 26, 1988 – August 26, 2025 With hearts broken by loss, we share the passing of Danielle Nichole Goldberg, who left this world on August 26, 2025 at the age of 37. Danielle was born on February 26, 1988, in Saint Louis, Missouri, and though her life was marked by hardship, she was deeply loved by many. Danielle is survived by her children, Jordan Riley Forir and Cody James Forir, who will forever be her greatest treasures. She is also survived by her mother, Melissia Forir; her father, Gary Swan; and her siblings, Veronica Goldberg, Benjamin Goldberg, Alexandria Dominguez, Antonio Goldberg, and Juan Goldberg—with whom she shared countless memories of childhood closeness and the unbreakable bond of family. Danielle’s journey was not an easy one. While her battle was long and often overwhelming, it does not define her spirit. Her children, Jordan and Cody, may never know her fully as the mother she wanted to be, but they will always carry the truth that their mother’s love for them was deep, enduring, and real—even when she struggled to show it. To those who knew her, Danielle was more than her struggles. She had a beautiful voice and a gift for music, singing with a soul that could stop a room. She loved books, she loved music, and she carried with her a tenderness that many saw but not all could reach. For many, she was loved from a distance: people who cared for her, rooted for her, and wished for her healing. And while her story ended too soon, her life touched others in ways that will never be forgotten. Her passing leaves a hole in the hearts of her family and friends, one filled with both sorrow and gratitude: sorrow that she could not find peace in this life, and gratitude for the moments of light, laughter, and love she gave to those around her. Danielle’s family takes comfort in remembering her not only for her struggles but also for her humanity, for being a daughter, a sister, a mother, and a woman with dreams, talents, and love to give. Services to honor Danielle’s life will be held at Archway Memorial Chapel on Tuesday September 2, 2025 with visitation starting at 10:00 a.m. until 12 Noon. Words of expressions will begin at 11:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to organizations that provide support, hope, and recovery for those battling addiction, so that Danielle’s story may help others find the healing she sought. Though her time here was far too short, Danielle’s memory will forever remain with those who loved her. We will honor her memory by finishing her songs and sharing her story, ensuring her voice and her truth live on.
