A 1977 graduate of Pioneer High School, Zimmer received his bachelor’s degree in computer science and electrical engineering from the U-M in 1981 and his M.B.A. in 1995. He was employed by UMI before he joined the U-M in 1998.
“We are shocked and saddened by Kurt’s death,” said Jose-Marie Griffiths, ITD executive director and University chief information officer. “He was very well liked by his colleagues in the Information Technology Division and by others in the University community.”
Zimmer also served on the Ann Arbor City Council in 1991–1993, representing the city’s fourth ward. He remained interested in and active in local politics although he did not run for re-election.
He is survived by his wife, Carol Holden; two sons, Eric and Peter; mother and stepfather Beatrice and William Weeks of Vero Beach, Fla.; father and stepmother Edward and Kathryn Zimmer of Ann Arbor; sisters Amy of Ypsilanti, Sherri of Phoenix, Ariz.; brother Gary of Santa Maria, Calif.; grandmother Frances Bluski of Milwaukee; and other relatives and many friends.
