Ninh Truong Ly, a Stockton resident for 39 years, passed away at 7:03pm on August 20, 2021, just five days shy of his 72nd birthday. He had some underlying health issues and had been fighting a breakthrough COVID infection.

Ninh and his family came to the US in the early 1980s as part of the waves of “boat people” immigrants escaping Vietnam. 

A beloved and devoted husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother and friend to many, he was known to give you advice whether you needed it or not (and most of the time he was right). Ninh treasured and adored his family and was extremely proud of all they had achieved in spite of humble beginnings. He loved photographing family and singing karaoke. He could often be found dominating the microphone on any stage, and was probably a rock star in a previous life.

There are a lifetime of memories that cannot be summarized in short. The family and all who were lucky enough to have been a part of his life will forever miss his illuminating smile and have those memories deeply rooted in their hearts forever.

Ninh is survived by his wife of 48 years, Bao Huynh and their children: Tu Ly (daughter) and her husband Chuong Ma; Thanh Ly (daughter) and her husband, Chris Depner; Nhut Ly (son) and his wife, Ly Phan; Duc Ly (son); and Tony Ly (son).  He also has six grandchildren: Katelynn Ma, Karlena Ma, Kaleb Ma, Landen Ly, Lincoln Ly, and Kylara Depner.

He was preceded in death by his parents, May Van Ly (father) and Sau Thi Tran (mother), and his siblings: Tho Ly (brother), Ba Thi Ly (sister), Dai Ly (brother), Son Ly (brother).

Surviving siblings: Khuong Ly (Bakersfield, CA), Vung Ly (Vietnam), Do Ly (Vietnam),Trinh Ly (Alhambra, CA), Nga Ly (Bacliff, Texas), and Loi Ly (Vietnam).

On Wednesday, August 18, 2021, Bradley David Zimmer (lovingly known as BZ to most) lost his hard fought battle to Covid-19. Brad was preceded in death by his father, David Zimmer, and his step-father, Lee Womble. He is survived by his wife, Annette, his daughter, Jaslyn, his mother, Diana Womble, his two sisters and their families, Tamara & Bruce Baxter and Stacey & Kai McSwain, his father-in-law, Sam Woods, his mother-in-law, Ruth Woods, his two sister-in-laws and their families, Stacey & Michael Nunes and Shannon Morse, and his brother-in-law and his family, David & Lori Royce.  

Brad was born on February 19, 1967 in Stockton, CA to David Zimmer and Diana Womble. He lived in Stockton most of his life. Upon graduating high school from Tokay High, he proudly served in the United States Army. Brad attended Community College in Santa Barbara, CA. On July, 14, 2007, he married the love of his life, Annette Woods. He was blessed with a daughter, Jaslyn Rush. Brad loved working with computers and all things electronic and was the owner of an IT business, Z-Tech.

If you knew Brad well, you knew he was a man of passion, a big personality who could melt your heart with one flash of his infectious smile. Whether it be politics or sports, Brad was not shy on giving you his opinion or standing up for what he believed in. He loved his country and showed his devotion by serving in the United States military. Brad’s passion developed early on in his life as he excelled in sports, such as Little League, football and wrestling; and he was in a competitive bowling league up to the time of his passing. Whether he was grilling the most amazing brisket for a houseful of friends, attending countless practices and games for his daughter, or completing various home-improvement projects for his wife, Brad showed his love through acts of service. He was passionate for his dogs, he was the “life of the party”, and he liked nothing more than spending time with his family and friends. Brad is celebrating in Heaven, watching over everyone he loved.
