Dean Frederick Zimmerman

Dean Fredrick Zimmerman, 65, went home to be with Jesus on January 12, 2023 in Klamath Falls, OR. Dean was born on May 12, 1957 in Tillamook, OR to William (Bill) and Delores Zimmerman. Dean was a car painter by trade and he pursued this as a career for most of his life. In Dean’s freetime he enjoyed riding motorcycles, fishing, visiting the Oregon Coast, and spending time with his family, whom he loved dearly. Dean was said to “not always have it so easy in this rough old world, but kept on going anyway. He was truly one of a kind”. Under Dean’s tough exterior he had a heart of gold, and he would do anything to help out his friends or family. Dean will forever be remembered as grandpa, uncle or dad to most.

He is survived by his sisters Terri (Dan) Pruett, Connie (Jeff) Wilson, Nettie Zimmerman, and Sandra (Wayne) Rusley; daughters, Michele (Chris) Jones, Crystal Zimmerman and Rose (Brandon) Gillette; grandchildren, Lyndsay Zimmerman, Alyssa Clay, Dylan Jones, Joshua Clay, Ezekiel (Zeke) Gillette, Zechariah (Zech) Gillette, Carl Jones, Lillyanne (Lily) Jones; great-grandchildren, Autumn Clay, Silas Clay; and numerous nieces and nephews.
