Zacary "Zac" Keith Kildow of Irving, Texas was welcomed into Heaven by his Lord and Savior on Wednesday, March 23, 2022. In the days and hours leading up to his departure, he was surrounded by his loving family. "Do not let your hearts be troubled. My Fathers house has many rooms. I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:1-3 He was born in Dallas, Texas on February 2, 1963. Zac was preceded in death by his grandparents, Dollie Louise Delzell and Guy Woodward Delzell, uncle Vernon Lotman, aunt Janice Delzell, brother Woodward Thomas Malone, and brother in law Robert Shaw. He is survived by his loving partner, Marcy Shapiro Finn of Irving, TX; daughter Brittany Leigh Rodriguez (Raudel Szaroletta Rodriguez) of San Antonio, TX; grandchildren Knox Alexander Rodriguez (4 yrs), Christian Sergio Rodriguez (2 yrs) and Elliot Zacary Rodriguez (9 mos) of San Antonio, TX; parents Dollie Delzell Golden and Roger Francis Golden of Rowlett, TX; sister Angela Kaye Downing of Dallas, TX; sister Julie Anne Tate (Kelly Tate) of Las Vegas, NV; sister Jean Christine Shapiro of Phoenix, AZ; brother Roger Scott Golden of San Diego, CA; aunt Woodina Kaye Lotman of Dallas, TX; uncle Michael Lanier Delzell of Longview, TX; niece Amber Michelle Larsen (Jim, Isabel and Samuel) of McKinney, TX; and grand-dog Moby Dick of San Antonio (17 yrs). He was raised in Oak Cliff, TX and grew up in the same neighborhood from birth through high school where he made lifelong friends. He was introduced to the world of jewelry design by his high school art teacher. He spent 3 years of high school completing vocational training in which time he developed a love for jewelry design. In 1993, he received his certification from the Gemologist Institute of America (GIA). He spent the majority of his career at Roberson's Fine Jewelry in Little Rock, AR and Michael's Creative Jewelry in Scottsdale, AZ. Zac once wrote, "God's way is carved in stone as is a finished article of jewelry." Zac had many other interests, one of which was music. He listened to a vast array of genres, but anyone who knew him well or went to Kimball High School understood his love for Stevie Ray Vaughn. That should not come as a shock since he loved all things Texas. Enchanted Rock, Longhorn and Cowboys Football, Dallas Stars hockey, Texas Rangers baseball, Texas chili without beans, turkey sausage from Inman's Kitchen, and of course his greatest love of all, Blue Bell ice cream. Throughout his life, Zac loved to travel. He went on a number of cross country, and he found great joy in hiking and camping at countless State and National Parks. He was very well read, and he enjoyed making a "quick stop" at every National Historic Landmark. On the weekends, you could find him gardening with his beloved Marcy or driving around town "treasure hunting" at estate sales. At his 20 year high school reunion, he wrote, "The most meaningful events in my life have been: The day I found Christ, the birth of my daughter, and my graduation." Another monumental moment in his life was becoming a Papaw, and he loved his three grandsons with every ounce of his being. He knew how to savor and cherish the sweet moments in life. He lived hard, laughed hard, but most of all, he loved hard. "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him."
