John Raymond Zimmerman, a faithful servant of our Lord, age 69, passed away surrounded by his beloved family on November 24, 2021. John was born in Dayton, Ohio to the late Rose Marie and Raymond Zimmerman.

John worked as a meat cutter for 30 years. He retired from Hartzell Propeller in Piqua after 22 years of service and dedication.

John loved fishing and feeding the birds in his spare time. He enjoyed laying in his hammock in the warm sun. He would always say, "I'm living the dream." John didn't know how to use his smart phone, except to check the stock market and the weather.

He always had a smile on his face and never met a stranger. More than anything, John loved his grandchildren and they loved him.

In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by his mother-in-law, Ann Stoudt; sister, Barbara Kavy; and brother, Thomas Zimmerman.

John will always be loved and missed by his wife of 49 years, Judy Zimmerman; children: John (Cathy), Jay (Melissa) and Janelle (Jason); grandchildren: Whitney, DJ, Kenedi, Chase, Mia, Sadie and Ali; brothers and sisters: Donald (Elysee) Zimmerman, Geraldine (Bill) Slattery, Carolyn (Daniel) Grossman, Shirley (John) Carlin, Sherry Zimmerman, James (Vicky) Zimmerman, Tony (Monica) Zimmerman, Mary Ann (Carl) Paulus, Christine (Dwayne) Durr, Rita Zimmerman, Leona (Angelo) Manzo and Joe (Lisa) Zimmerman; numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
