Jon Zimmerman, the CEO of Seattle startup Front Desk, passed away suddenly Monday of unspecified causes, according to a statement issued by the company this afternoon.

Zimmerman, 47, was a veteran of Expedia and T-Mobile who co-founded Front Desk in 2012. He had most recently led a successful fundraising round for Front Desk, which makes management, payment, and scheduling software used by studios, gyms and other small and medium-sized services businesses.

“Jon was a person of tremendous intelligence and integrity,” said Seattle entrepreneur Nick Hanauer, an early investor in Front Desk. “He was a joy to work with and a good friend. His even style, candor, powers of analysis, and good humor made even difficult circumstances fun to work through. We are devastated by his passing and will miss him enormously. We ache for his family.”

Here’s the full statement from the company this afternoon.
