Kevin R. Zimmerman

May 25, 1965 ~ October 23, 2017

Kevin Roy Zimmerman of Ninilchik, AK passed away October 23, 2017 unexpectedly.

In respect of Kevin's wishes there will be no service or memorial. Instead we ask for you to do as he would, grab the ones you love and celebrate his life around the campfire. Kevin was born May 25, 1965 to Hap and Mary Lou Zimmerman of Renton, Washington. He graduated from Liberty High School in 1983. Shortly after he journeyed to Alaska, where he began his business and chose to raise his family, he married Diana Lynn Hancock, the two of them raised three children, Steven Miller, Kyle and Sarah Zimmerman. Kevin had a heart and passion to help others whether it was on the Butt Chaser, hunting, for friends, at home, or on the mat as the wrestling coach of Ninilchik. Above all was his love for family and respect. In lieu of flowers we ask for donations towards a diabetes or USA Wrestling charity in his name. Peninsula Memorial Chapel- Kenai, AK.

Kevin was always willing to help me with my school projects. It might be erecting a totem pole, getting ready for one of my many plays or just recently erecting a ladybug reading tent for the preschool. I was very saddened to hear of his passing. Kevin was a kind and caring man and a special friend to me. He went out of his way to help people. Kevin was very proud of his three children and loved all of you very much. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

May you Rest In Peace Kevin, and may your new journey bring peace! You Kyle and Sarah were not just our friends, not just our fishing companions, but our family as well! You showed us so many good times and always made us laugh, you and our good times will always be part of our fondest memories! Will miss the fishing with you and standing by the campfire having a drink or two to celebrate the excellent fishing trip that day and the laughs were never ending! We spent many years coming up to Alaska to fish with you! Our Alaska trips will never be the same without you! Although we are sad, we can still smile because we are lucky to have had you in our lives! Kyle and Sarah, please let us know if you ever need anything, much love to you from us and know whatever you do in life he is holding your hand!

My thoughts are with your family, during this difficult time. So sorry for the loss of Kevin. I only met him once, as he was taking us out on his boat. It was arranged through my brother Ted Forsi, and we had a great day. My brother has been gone for a year now, and I am still coming to terms with , and trying to find peace in his loss. I just wanted you to know that Ted appreciated Kevin's friendship.
Praying for healing for his family.

Condolences to his children, brother and sister. Gonna miss him very much. Couldn't ask for a better friend. Always greeted people with a smile. A truly genuine person, had a way about him that made you happy to be around. Would do anything he could for the people he cared about. Always had a way to make things a little easier than it was. He had a good run and I was proud to know him for as long as I did. I knew him longer than anyone else in my life. My whole life. See you when I get there brother. Love you man

Our thoughts, prayers, help and an open door for Steven and his family, Kyle and Sarah. Kevin is my baby brother and has always had a place in my heart and a heavy dose of respect. He loved Alaska. He loved all 3 of you kids unconditionally, even when it was tough love. It breaks my heart that he is gone, but I know he's having a great time with Mom and Dad, your Mom, Diana, Gramma Vi and so many others. Remember the good times, the laughter, the love and laughter, all that he taught you. It wasn't a good bye, he just said i'll See you later! And you will. Of this I'm sure. The loving never ends....

Love and prayers to the Zimmerman three kids. Kevin was a wonderful father and a great guy. I have many great memories of him and Diana over the years. My favorite was dressing as the wizard of oz characters for Halloween. Loved the big gatherings at the house on the river. He will be missed by many.
