Jerry moved to Tulsa Oklahoma at age 11. He graduated from the University of Tulsa. Jerry married Billye Jeane Jolley in 1954 and they made their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Jerry and Billye enjoyed together a lifelong joy of fishing, boating, square dancing, trips to Branson and Silver Dollar City, Thunder basketball, OU football, softball and their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Jerry also loved cars and airplanes. He worked for Rockwell, McDonald Douglas/Boeing for many years. After retirement, he droved cars for Enterprise, enabling him to experience driving many of the cars he loved. He was a friend to all, loved by so many, and had the brightest smile for all until it gave out.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his son Randall Zimmer and granddaughter Allison Zimmer.
