Stanley Paul Zimmerman

Stanley "Stan" Zimmerman, age 79, of Bloomington, MN, passed away peacefully on November 11 (Veteran's Day), 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Stan was born on November 9 in San Jose, California to Michael & Thelma. He grew up in California, where he developed an early love for building and exploring how things worked. After high school in Robbinsdale, Stan attended Dunwoody College of Technology for Engineering. He then proudly served in the United States Army, where he was stationed in Germany. It was there that he met his future wife, Doris, who became his partner in life for 54 years. Together they made their home in Minnesota and raised three sons - Stephen, Daniel, and Kevin - who brought him endless pride and joy. Stan built a meaningful career as an Electrical Engineer. He applied his problem-solving skills, steady patience, and genuine care for those around him at organizations like Honeywell, Pure Humidifier, Bentech Engineering, and Custom Actuator. Whether at work or at home, Stan was happiest with a project in front of him and a plan in his mind. He loved to tinker and build, creating everything from birdhouses and deck benches to circuit boards and small engines. Outside of his workshop, Stan had a passion for flying and boating. He found joy in the freedom of the open sky and the peace of the water. Known for his sharp wit and warm humor, he had a gift for making others laugh and feel at ease. Above all, Stan was devoted to his family. He cherished time spent with Doris and their sons, sharing his curiosity, creativity, and love for learning with each generation. He will be remembered for his integrity, generosity, humor, and the countless ways he built-both with his hands and his heart. Stan is survived by his wife Doris; his sons Stephen (Kotoko) and Kevin (Kelli); and many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his son Daniel, his parents Michael & Thelma, and his siblings Janice & Michael. A visitation will be held at Washburn-McReavy Werness Brothers Bloomington Chapel, 2300 West Old Shakopee Road, Bloomington, MN, from 4-6pm on Tuesday, November 25, 2025. Interment for Stan will be at Fort Snelling National Cemetery at a later date.
