Donald Zinner Obituary
January 16, 1956 - January 30, 2023
Islamorada, Florida - Donald Zinner, longtime resident of Islamorada and a well-known consultant to healthcare executives and organizations, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, Jan. 30, at the age of 67.
Born on January 16, 1956, in Miami, to Eve and Doran Zinner, Donald was the husband of Nancy Buldas-Zinner, father of Danielle, Michelle and Rachel. He was the brother of Michael Zinner, M.D., of Miami and Karen Zinner of Salt Lake City. He was a beloved uncle to Darren Zinner of Boston and Dan Zinner of London. He also was loved by his mother-in-law Dell Buldas and son-in-law Will Reames. He was predeceased by his mother and father.
A funeral service will be held at 1 pm on Sunday, Feb. 5, at Riverside Gordon Memorial Chapels at Mount Nebo, 5900 SW 77th Avenue, in South Miami. In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to raise critical funds for cancer research, a cause that was near and dear to Donald's heart: The Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute.

Don was a wonderful friend for over 40 years. We feel blessed to have known him and especially blessed to have spent more time together in the last few years. We will always remember how he showed us such hospitality on our Keys weekend. We were so looking forward to the Gables 50th Reunion this summer. We are saddened and heartbroken for Nancy and his daughters and will miss him...but always remember him fondly.
