Although Goodman was recorded as living at Newton Hall estate in Potternewton, near Leeds in 1846, he had sold the estate to Arthur Lupton by 1845. Goodman never married. The Gentleman's Magazine reported that he died on 13 October 1859 at his seat, Roundhay, near Leeds aged 67. In compliance with Goodman's request, an autopsy was conducted, revealing softened spinal marrow. Goodman, a Baptist, was interred at Whitkirk Church. He inherited his father's Roundhay estate, Goodman House, which was renamed Beechwood by Arthur Lupton's brother, Francis Lupton, who had purchased the estate by 1860, following George's death. In later life, Goodman had a portrait commissioned as 'George Goodman, Mayor', by Charles Henry Schwanfelder, also from Leeds and Animal Painter to King George III and King George IV. The portrait shows Goodman looking outward, in the attire of the period, sat at a desk overladened with books, with reading glasses in hand.
