Jerome ZEIMET Obituary

Dad, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa age 78, of Fergus Falls passed away Thursday, July 23, 2015 after a short battle with small cell cancer that took away the use of his legs in April. Jerry was born on May 20, 1937, in St. Paul to Ervin and Ann (Kostolnik) Zeimet. He raised his family in Roseville and was a tile setter by trade. Jerry was a champion skeet shooter, who also loved fishing, hunting, golfing and NASCAR driver Tony Stewart. His family would like to thank the Pelican Valley Health Care Center staff and our friends Dwayne Hirsch and Melanie Carlson, who did so much for our dad when he was ill by borrowing a wheelchair van and ramp to load up Jerry and take him fishing, out to eat and anywhere else Jerry would want to go. He was preceded in death by his parents. Jerry is survived by his three sons, Daniel (Brenda) Zeimet, David (Melissa) Zeimet and Paul (Amy) Zeimet; five granddaughters, Elizabeth (Ben) Redden, Emily, Holly, Abby and Alice; and two great-grandchildren, Bentley and Rylee Redden. Memorial Service July 31 at 11:00 AM at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Milaca, with visitation 1 hour prior. Interment St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations are preferred to the Pelican Valley Health Care Center. olsonfuneralhome.com.

Dan, David and Paul. I am truly sorry for the loss of Uncle Jerome. What can I say? He was funny, a BS'er and I'm pretty sure he had a...colorful sense of humor, from what I remember anyway. He was a true Zeimet so the apples don't fall far if you know what I mean. He will be missed by more people than I can count. I've sent a prayer for his soul to find eternal peace and to reunite with his family in paradise with the Lord. I know Uncle Jerome didn't have too much time after the diagnosis, but I'm confident it was enough time for him to make his peace and to score a seat at the Captains Table if you know what I mean. Anything my family or I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask.
Suzy
