Donald L. Zierdt, Jr.

July 30, 1958 - December 23, 2020

Donald L. Zierdt, Jr, of Lumberton, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, December 23, 2020 at Virtua Memorial, Mt. Holly. He was 62. Born in New Brunswick and raised in Old Bridge and East Brunswick and a graduate of Middlesex County College and Trenton State; the son of Josephine and the late Donald L. Zierdt, Sr. He is survived by his wife of 26 years, Nancy (Hofmann) Zierdt, his two children, Pamela and Jonathan, and his two cats, Cheddar and Cooper. He is also survived by his five siblings, Marion (Bruce) Barr, Donna (David) Winant, Sandra (Mike) Green, Harold Zierdt, and John (Jeanne) Zierdt and numerous nieces and nephews. Don was passionate about many things: Classic Rock (mostly the Moody Blues and Pink Floyd), Atlanta Braves Baseball, The University of Alabama Crimson Tide, gardening, Monty Python, Seinfeld, and Spongebob, to name a few. Perhaps his greatest passion, though, was serving as The Grocery Guy and helping people learn how to coupon. His Facebook page provided wit and education for his thousands of followers to teach them how to save money on their grocery trips. Family and friends are invited to his Celebration of Life at Perinchief Chapels, 438 High Street in Mt Holly, NJ on Monday, December 28th from 3pm-6pm. All are invited to visit during this time. Please wear your facemask and maintain social distancing. For friends and family unable to attend in person, we will be sharing links for virtual celebrations in the coming weeks. In lieu of flowers, Don’s wife and children are asking for donations to help cover the cost of his funeral and the outstanding medical expenses they are left to deal with. A Venmo account has been set up for this and your compassionate donations can be made to @Grocery-Guy (7273). Please know your donation is greatly appreciated by his family as they grieve the loss of my husband and Pam & Jonathan's father.
