Daniel J Zimney, Sr.

Daniel J. Zimney Sr., 58, Jamestown ND died Wednesday, May 11th, 2016 as the result of a motorcycle accident. Daniel Zimney Sr., was born on October 22, 1957 in Jamestown, ND to Paul (Bud) & G, Lorraine (Klose) Zimney Sr.
He served in the National Guard. He married Tammy Cartwright in 1986 and later divorced. Dan worked for Burlington Northern Railway for 25 years.
Daniels greatest joy was traveling to visit his grandchildren. He also enjoyed Photography, sketches with poems added to the side, glass blowing, metal detecting (he was a member of the MARG Metal Detecting Club), gardening & his imaginative canning and cooking, gold mining, salmon fishing, camping, riding bike, roller blading, 4-wheeler, working on his house and with his cattle. Daniel was adventurous and loved to travel, many family members would receive phone calls from "Danny" thinking he was home and he would be in Oregon or New York or at a Bison Game as he was one of their biggest supporters. Postcards he sent would also share his travels. His last adventure included driving to Nebraska, going to Oregon to see his daughter, and all of a sudden we get a phone call and he is in Hawaii visiting his other daughter, all done on the spur of the moment. He was a man of many talents!
