Scott Zimmerman Obituary
Scott Kendrick Zimmerman died on April 10, 2011 in Concord, California, of complications due to metastatic prostate cancer. He had just turned 66. Scott was born on March 22, 1945 in Chicago, Illinois, to Elizabeth Porter Zimmerman and David Albright Zimmerman. He moved with his family to Arizona in his early teens, and then to Utah where he graduated from Skyline High School in 1963. Scott served in the U.S. Army and completed a tour of duty in Vietnam. Returning to Utah, he attended the University of Utah, graduating with a B.A. in Philosophy and then earning a J.D. from the College of Law in 1974. He was one of the founders of the law firm of Kruse, Landa, Zimmerman Maycock where he practiced law until 1983, when he moved to California.
