With profound sorrow, yet steadfast faith in God’s promises, we announce that Anthony “Tony” Zimmerman, born January 17, 1979, entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior on February 11, 2026.

Though our hearts are broken, we hold tightly to the promise that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8). Tony’s life was marked by love, loyalty, and devotion—to his family and to the God who carried him through every season.

Above all else, Tony was a devoted father. His greatest pride and deepest joy were his children—Christian, Julian, and his beautiful one-year-old daughter, Ryleigh. He loved fiercely and wholeheartedly. Whether he was laughing with his boys, holding his baby girl close, or simply being present at home, he made those around him feel safe and deeply loved.

He is survived by his loving wife, Tiffany Zimmerman; his father, Paul Zimmerman; his sisters, Vicki Zimmerman and Rachel Joyner; and his cherished nieces and nephews, Robby, Jasmine, Misty, Joseph, Tristan, and Braylon.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Jeanne AuBuchon; his stepmother, Ruby Zimmerman; and his nephew, Daniel Zimmerman.

Tony was a loyal and passionate fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and was always ready to cheer them on with unwavering dedication. He found joy in life’s simple moments- taking road trips, time with family, and the comfort of being surrounded by those he loved most.

Those who knew Tony will remember his strength, his heart, and the quiet but powerful way he showed up for the people he loved. His legacy lives on in his children—in their smiles, their resilience, and the love he poured into them each day.

From his beloved wife:

“Words can’t express how much I miss you next to me. We had 26 years together, off and on, and you have given me a lifetime of love and memories. I will always love you, and you will always be in my heart. Until we meet again, I will look to God for the strength to keep going.”

While we grieve deeply, we do not grieve without hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13). We trust in the promise of eternal life and hold onto the assurance that this goodbye is not forever.

Tony was an organ donor and saved 5 lives with his final act of kindness and the beautiful gifts he gave.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23

Tony will be forever loved, forever missed, and forever remembered.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday, March 7th at 2 pm at First Baptist Clermont- 2751 Hartwood Marsh Rd. Clermont FL 34711
