Phillip was more than just a neighbor to me he was more like a second dad. Phillip and my dad were great frinds and it never failed everytime he saw me he would hug me, say "How are you doin squirt, are you keepin them boys off your mind??" I would say "I'm good, and yeah except I do have a boyfriend." and that is all it took he would start in and say "It looks like i'm goin to have to bring my shot gun down there and sit on the porch with your daddy and keep them run off!" and he would always tell me right before we left or he left, "Your goin to have to stop growin girl, I'm going to bring a brick down here and put it on your head if you don't!!" Philip i'm going to miss you greatly, but your in a much better place now. Rest in peace Phillip Nathaniel Ziemer. I love and miss you!!

Philip was a great neighbor. When my family and I found out the horrible news our house was suddenly filled with sadness. Everyone in our house always knew that if you ever called him he would there and he would always lend a helping hand. Everytime he took Nathan for a ride on the 4-wheeler or motorcycle he would always stop by and say hello. He was more than just a neighbor to us he was more like a family member to us. Phillip will be greatly missed in the Davis household.

Dear Phillip thou in Heaven, Thank you for our wonderful conversation you and I had 12 hours prior to you leaving forever here on earth. It was nice to talk with you about us all going to the Monster Truck show at the GA Dome. together. Nathan would have loved it so much. as you and I were talking on the phone, I could hear little Nathans Motor-scooter in the back ground. I could hear it in your voice you being so proud of your little man on how you just pushed him off on that thing and there he went, as if he was born to ride. We had a great talk together. I am so glad that I called ya, and better than that I am even more glad that you answered. I can not even believe your really not even still hear. You are a great buddy. yes I said are. and you always will be my buddy. I remember you Dawn and Nathan coming here to the house and being at the dock. I think it was Nathans 1st time driving a Jet-Ski. I have keep-sake photo's of little man driving. You are my brother Phillip. I am trying to understand. Its hard to cope with loosing such a great friend I will promise you Phillip, "we will see each other again" Oh & Phillip, when you call me, I will answer to. Your friend / your buddy forever . Torey Bennett :-( I miss you

The Staff at Pawn International were so sorry to hear of Phillips passing. He was such a great Man and friend to us all here at the shop. He has been comming by the shop for years. Always looking for a deal on something for his lawn company. He would beat me up pretty bad on the price when I sold him something. I am so glad I got to know him and hear all about his family he loved so much. Rest in peace Phillip we will surely miss you.

Tim and I were both floored by the news of Phillip's passing. He was a great friend to both of us. This brings back memories of high school, college and of both Phillip and Rachel in our wedding. Our prayers are with the whole Ziemer family as you go through this difficult time. Tim and I want you to know that our hearts are broken at this loss. Praise the Lord that we aren't really saying goodbye to Phillip but just I'll see you soon.
