No mention whatsoever of what, where, how. That's very young. What a shame. RIP.

Very young, was a good dude.... RIP

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Hard to believe, he was way too young.
My condolences to his family.

 

[sminings]

RIP. Yet another reminder to live today like it's your last day. We're the same age.

We had a class together but never got to meet. I still remember the Professor doing roll call and when it came to Zimmerman there was no response.

Sorry to hear.
The Great Wall will always be a part of Gator lore!
Too young!!!

Very sad. Had his Burger King football card when I was a kid. May still have it somewhere.

Did he? I read he had a weight problem.

Most probably don’t recall but Zimmerman wasn’t an original member of the Great Wall of Florida.

Jon Moyle was the starter at the guard position until he was injured in the 3rd or 4th game in 1984 and Jeff replaced him.

Another trivia note. Running mate Crawford Ker's parents are British.

Thanks for that.

Sad news. Too young.
