Z McDonald

Our beloved husband, brother, uncle, cousin and friend unexpectedly left his earthly home, we miss him dearly. Z was the son of Dennis and Laurel McDonald. He was born in Salt Lake City and was the 4th of 6 children. He was raised in West Bountiful surrounded by 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Z graduated from Mountain High School in 2003 and began work as a lot attendant at Larry H. Miller Ford. He excelled in his employment and received many promotions; his current position was as sales manager. Z had a passion for his work. Everyone who purchased a vehicle from him or engaged with him at work left knowing they had been taken care of by a man who truly loved what he did. He worked there for seven and a-half years. Z, along with his wife and little brother, had 2 dogs, Daxon and Jace, he was utterly devoted to them. Z enjoyed having fun: we all have memories of tossing the football; trips to the lake; hearing him revel in stories of playing racquetball with his brother, Veto; taking his wife Lindsey for rides on the motorcycle; running, yelling, tickling, laughing, and climbing with his 8 nieces and nephews. Z loved music. Music was part of his every day from singing and playing funny instruments to blasting the radio and his iPod. Z loved to watch movies with his wife and in conversation was frequently throwing movie quotes and quizzes at whomever he was engaged with. Z dated and married the love of his life, Lindsey Parkin McDonald, in August of 2005. They shared 5 wonderful years together. She will hold dear the memories of all the different ways he expressed his love to her and the many nick names he used to express that devotion. She greatly misses him. I love you, babe! Z was preceded in death by his parents Dennis T McDonald and Laurel B McDonald, and his grandparents. He leaves behind his loving wife, Lindsey, whom he referred to as his heart; siblings Tavis Veto McDonald, Savannah (Justin) Leeper and children Caden and Carsen, Ian McDonald, Samara (Steve) Brinkman and children Brooklyn and Charlotte, and Sarah (Ben) Elmer; in-laws Dennis and Chris Parkin, Matthew Parkin, Scott Parkin (Doug Redding), Megan Parkin, Wendy (David) Shafer and child Ethan, and Jennifer (Daimian) Izatt and children Logan, Cason, and Raisa.
