Corri Zimmer White, Mike's daughter and Adam's sister, confirmed the news Tuesday morning on Instagram. No cause of death was given.
Adam Zimmer joined the Vikings' coaching staff when his father was hired as head coach in 2014.

He was fired along with his father and the majority of the coaching staff following the 2021 season.
