Mark R. Zimmerman

With great sadness, we share the passing of Mark R. Zimmerman, age 71, of Gloversville on Monday, May 25, 2026, at Albany Medical Center ICU. Born on July 23, 1954, in Gloversville, he was the son of Calvin R. and Irene C. Jones Zimmerman. He was a 1973 graduate of Mayfield High School. Mark was employed at Perth Lumber after high school. He then gained employment at Kingsboro Lumber for 18 years, leaving there to work at Wells Nursing Home in the maintenance department. Mark retired in 2019 to enjoy his first grandson and spend time with family. Mark was an avid bowler and participated in many leagues for over 50 years. In 1990, he was a member of the Fulton County Classic Bowling League and bowled a perfect 300-947 series. His enjoyment included bowling with friends, Tim, Dave F., Tom, and Dave L.; making cider with cousins, Kim, Bill, Keith, and Kurt; and deer hunting with cousins, Bob, Keith, and Kurt. Farming and raising his black angus cows were among his greatest passions. On May 15, 1976, Mark was united in marriage to Wendy J. Clute in a ceremony at the Emmanual Baptist Church in Gloversville. They recently celebrated their 50th anniversary. In addition to his parents, Mark was predeceased by a sister-in-law, Gail Clute, and a grandson, Nicholas Joseph Zimmerman. In addition to his wife, survivors include his mother-in-law, Grace Clute; his children, Matthew (Marisa) Zimmerman of Frankfort, NY, Renee (Anthony) Brockhum, and Jared Zimmerman, both of Gloversville; two sisters, Karen (Robert) Olson of Queensbury and Gail (David) Stahl of Gloversville; a brother, Wayne (Robyn) Zimmerman of Kingston, NY; a brother-in-law, John (Rose) Clute of Gloversville; two grandsons, Marc and Rocco Zimmerman; and nieces, nephews, and cousins. Calling hours will be held on Friday, May 29, 2026, from 10 am - noon at the Robert M. Halgas Funeral Home, Inc., 111 County Highway 106, Johnstown, NY. A funeral service will follow at noon at the funeral home with Rev. Robert Lowenthal, officiating. Burial will be in Ferndale Cemetery, Johnstown, NY. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Leukemia Foundation. To honor Mark’s memory, the family encourages others to donate blood, helping support individuals living with blood disorders – a cause close to his heart. The family would like to thank the staffs at New York Oncology Hematology Albany/Amsterdam, Albany Medical 4th Floor Cancer and Blood Disorder Unit, and Nathan Littauer Hospital ER/Infusion unit for their care.
