Mr. Clifton "Goldy" Joseph Zeno III

Goldy was born on January 26,1975 to Clifton and Nedra Zeno in Houston Texas. He grew up in Houston and Katy Texas. Goldy attended Katy Junior High and Bellaire High School.

Goldy was married to Monique Smith (1993-2018) and to this union were born seven children. He is survived by his children; Clifton Zeno, IV, Houston Texas, Christopher Zeno, Bakersfield CA, Kimberlee Zeno, United Kingdom, Allexus Zeno, North Carolina, Chassity Zeno, Washington State, Sahara Zeno, North Carolina, Simone Zeno, North Carolina and five grandchildren. He is also survived by his Father and Mother, Clifton and Nedra Zeno of Sugar Land, Texas, his sisters Teresa (Jerry) Katy, Texas, Shequitha, Katy Texas, Sandra (Smiles) Missouri City, Texas, Christina (Richard) Richmond, Texas and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Goldy’s caring spirit and generous heart could be felt by anyone that came in contact with him. If ever anyone had a need, he would try his hardest and give his last to meet that need. When Goldy was nearby, an infectious laugh is what we continually heard. He was the one who kept everyone around him laughing. When speaking to his mom his first words were always, “Hello Beautiful” & and his last words were always, “I love you.”

To see Goldy in his element was to see him with his family. Goldy’s greatest passion in life was taking care and providing for his children. The biggest practical joker in the family was Goldy. He always knew how to get the party started and he was always in the middle of the fun jamming his screwed and chopped up music. You could always find Goldy sporting his favorite colors-Red & Orange.

The many hobbies of Goldy; swimming, cooking (and it was delicious), bbq’n, collecting Houston Astros gear, playing card & board games (and he just knew he was the best), beach life, and we will never forget his eternal love for CONVERSE (Chuck Taylors).

Goldy always, and was firm on, not being traditional upon the day he gains he everlasting wings. In Goldy’s words, “I want ya’ll to party when I’m gone.” So to honor his wishes that’s exactly what we will do; we will party “Goldy style.”
