It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of David Vern Zimmerman, who peacefully departed from this world on May 16, 2024, in Wausau, WI. Born on June 23, 1953, in Milwaukee, WI, David leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
David was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Lori Zimmerman, whom he married on August 20, 1998, in Wausau. As the proud owner of Zimmerman Installations, David poured his heart and soul into his work, establishing a successful career in the flooring industry.
Though dedicated to his business, David found joy in many hobbies and interests. He had a passion for traveling and exploring new places, with visits to Canada standing out as cherished experiences. A lover of the great outdoors, David indulged in hunting turkey, deer and bear, as well as fishing in the tranquil waters.

A true sports enthusiast, David was a loyal supporter of the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers, faithfully cheering on his favorite teams through victories and defeats.

Notably, David had a playful side and a unique sense of humor, often finding joy in the little moments and spreading positivity wherever he went. Even in times of illness, his resilient spirit and happy-go-lucky attitude never wavered.
