Eugene Goldman Obituary

Eugene Noble Goldman, went to be with his Savior a mere 26 days after the passing of his beloved wife of 40 years, Marcia. His sarcastic, witty banter was never lacking. Gene brought a smile to everyone’s face; the mischievous grin he wore left you wondering what exactly “Goldie” was thinking. Known for his epic mustache, Gene loved helping customers pick out the perfect piece at Pounder's Jewelry. You see, Gene was different in many ways and overcame odds always. He was born missing half his fingers, yet he made his living working with his hands in his craft as a jeweler for over 50 years. You could count on him to have a copy of the Bible in his pocket at nearly all times, and he deeply loved Jesus. He had a gentle spirit, a heart of gold and strove to never speak ill of anyone.

He is survived by his sons Dana, Gabriel and Daniel, and daughters Bethany and Rebecca. Daughters and sons by marriage are Dana, Amy and Tom. He has 9.75 grandchildren. These were his direct family, but his family of God— those he welcomed into His Kingdom— are countless.

A celebration of his life will be held at 11am, September 29 at Sozo Church, 2131 W. Woodside. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Eugene's name to Andrew Wommack Ministries in Colorado Springs.

I will always remember what a kind person Gene was. I met him in the 1960s. He helped me at Pounders Jewelry. My sister and I walked in to look at items. Gene helped us. I bought some jewelry at that time. Now it's 2021. I still go to Pounders. Gene loved his job. He was a great husband, dad, father in law & friend. I'm proud to say we were friends. Jenny Kinney

Gene was fun. If it was your first time meeting him, you would have thought he was a long time friend. The most personable salesman ever. You always left with a smile.. He was one of a kind. Thank you Eugene for all that you did for so many people to make us all feel special.

I met Marcia years ago when I was a teenager at the Rock of Ages church. She met Gene & it was love at first sight for both of them. I have known them for years and feel so blessed. 14 years ago I went to Pounders jewelry knowing that Gene was still working there & that he would pick out the perfect ring for me & my now husband. First ring he put out to show me was the one that I fell in love with. Every time I look at that ring I always think of Gene. I feel so blessed to have known Gene & Marcia & they have such a beautiful family to carry on.
