Jason Simpson Obituary
1952-2019
Jason Works Simpson passed to Jesus Christ our Lord on Tuesday, December 17, 2019, surrounded by family. He was proceeded in death by his mother, Viola Meekins, and sister, Emma Simpson Vaughn.
Jason was born on Wednesday, September 10, 1952, in Arkadelphia, Arkansas as the third child and only son to Viola & Russell Simpson. He graduated from Little Rock Central High School in 1970. After receiving a degree in political science & MBA in finance from Texas Southern University, he went on to work for Amoco Oil, Port of Houston & eventually became a self-employed financial consultant, specializing in public pension plans, until his death.
He loved playing golf, cards and a loud, boisterous game of dominoes. He was known for his long-winded yet hilarious jokes. He spent countless hours making jazz-centric mixtapes for his friends & his collection of albums is legendary.
Jason will always be remembered for his beautiful smile and generous spirit. He leaves to cherish his memories a wife (Celeste), daughter (Jillian), son (Jason), an uncle (Bobby), a sister (Carolyn), and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. He will be missed tremendously.
Visitation will be held on Monday, December 30, 2019 at 9:00am with funeral services beginning at 10:00am. Both services will be held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 5102 Dabney Street, Houston, TX 77026. Interment will be held at Brookside Cemetery.

I often wondered of Jason's whereabouts, as we both got laid off from Amoco together in 1989. Jason was always well dressed and fun to be around. RIP brother.

Jason, you never met anybody that you didn't know. Your smile and conversation made everyone your friend. As our circle continues to grow smaller, please know that you will be missed and your friends will see you on the other side. We should have taken more pictures!
