NOTE:  The location of the visitation has changed to the Laura Street Baptist Church.  Friday, July 11, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Robert Joseph Zimmerman, a beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 3rd, 2025, at the age of 61. Born on January 4th, 1964, in Maryville, MO, Rob spent his entire life in the community he cherished.

Rob was a dedicated truck driver for Loch Sand and Construction Co. in Maryville, MO, where he devoted 40 years of service. His commitment to his work was matched only by his love for his family and friends. A former member of the Elk's Lodge, Rob was also a member of the Maryville Country Club and the Teamster's Union. His passion for life was evident in his diverse interests and his founding of Cowboy Bob's Annual Testicle Festival, a testament to his vibrant spirit and sense of humor. Rob was also a faithful attendee of the "Safety Meetings" and "Management Meetings" held weekly within his friend group. Rob was also proud of MRZ Trucking, a company he started with his brother.

Rob is survived by his loving wife, Cammi Zimmerman, of the home; his two sons, Jonathan (Lora) Zimmerman of Seligman, MO, and Jackson Zimmerman of Gladstone, MO; and his daughter, Darbi (Clayton) Rope of Clarinda, IA. He also leaves behind his brothers, Kelly (Jessica Whaley) Zimmerman and Michael "Mick" (Julie Hewitt) Zimmerman, both of Maryville, MO; and his sisters, Debbie (Stan) Snyder of Maryville, MO, and Sherry "Bird" (Mark "Martian") Schoonbeck of Gladstone, MO. Rob was a proud grandfather to K'Lynne Zimmerman, Kira Zimmerman, and Walker Rope, one niece and several nephews. Rob leaves a large and diverse friend group that will have "Rob stories" to tell and enjoy for years to come.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John W. Zimmerman and Lucille E. Zimmerman.

Rob's legacy extends beyond his family and work. He was proud of the family farm and made a lot of memories there. He was also instrumental in revitalizing the White Cloud Cemetery, a project close to his heart. Donations in his memory can be made to the White Cloud Cemetery to continue this important work.

Visitation will be held at Laura Street Baptist Church in Maryville, MO, on Friday, July 11th, 2025, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm. A Memorial Funeral Service will be held at St. Laura Street Baptist Church in Maryville, MO, on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, at 10:00 am. We will proceed to Ohio Cemetery in Burlington Jct., MO for burial after the service. There will be another gathering of close friends and family at White Cloud Cemetery, south of Maryville, to bury a portion of Rob's remains there, per his wishes.

Rob's warmth, generosity, and dedication to his family and community will be deeply missed. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. Arrangements are provided by Bram Funeral Home.
