Christopher Zimmerman Obituary

Christopher Zimmerman

Christopher Zimmerman, a beloved father, dedicated son, and loyal friend, passed away the week of April 5, 2026. Born September 6, 1975, Chris lived a life defined by dedication, resilience, and an unmistakable sense of humor. He had a way of making people laugh even in difficult moments, bringing comfort and light to everyone around him. As a tireless supporter, he cheered his kids on at every sports game, orchestra concert, and awards ceremony, always showing up with pride and encouragement.

Above all, Chris was a devoted father. His children were the center of his world, and there was nothing he wouldn't do for them. Through constant support, love, and countless shared moments, he showed his selflessness and strength, making sure his family always knew they were his top priority.

Chris was a 1994 graduate of Findlay High School. He will be remembered for his quick wit, unwavering loyalty, and the way he showed up for others without hesitation. He leaves a legacy of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Chris is survived by his parents, Diane and Kim Zimmerman; his children, Kyra, Mason, and Jared; his sibling, Diana; and many extended family and friends who will carry his memory forward.

A celebration of Chris's life will be Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Buffalo Wild Wings, 8465 Pearl Rd, Strongsville, OH 44136. Family and friends are invited from 1-4 pm.

Arrangements are being handled by COLDREN-CRATES FUNERAL HOME, Findlay.

Chris was a kind and courteous neighbor. We remember seeing him playing catch with his boys in front of the condo complex. He always knocked on my mom´s door to let her know when her cat snuck out. He will be missed.
