Monty Simpkins Obituary

Monty Simpkins went home to be with his Lord and Savior on April 8, 2003. Monty is a man of great faith in his Lord, a man of integrity and honor, a man of his word. He has been a loyal friend to those who had the privilege to know him. His leadership and mentoring in the business sector and at his church influenced and encouraged others to live their lives to their full potential. He wanted people to be all God desired for them to be and to be successful. Monty's faith in Jesus gave him strength and courage through his life. Monty's love for his family and friends showed in everything he did. Monty's wife, Barbara and father, Cecil predeceased him. He is survived by his wife, Janet, sons Bret and Mark, daughters-in-law Shaula and Stacy. His favorite grandchildren, Dana, Kyle, Zachary, Danielle and Bryce. He is also survived by his mother, Boyce and siblings and spouses Rhonda and Earl Pettigrew, Kent and Katie Simpkins, Yvone and Kenneth Butler, Arnon and Larry Stiles and the best nieces and nephews anyone ever had in a family. God also blessed Monty with a host of special friends and business associates at Physician Mutual Insurance Company. Memorial gifts may be made to Church on the Rock, 1780 W. Memorial Road, Oklahoma City, OK 73134 designated for the Building Fund. Monty always wanted a good place for people to come and worship the Lord. Services will be held at 10:00 A.M. on Friday, April 11, at the Church on the Rock, with interment at Resurrection Cemetery. MERCER-ADAMS

Monty Simpkins is a hero in my life. He successfully combined his faith into his business life. He walked the walk. I will miss our talks on football, and PMIC. His shoes will be very tough to fill, not only in our company, but in all areas of his life.

There was no other like Monty!!! He was tall and handsome, but more than his physical appearance, his positive outlook in every aspect of his life drew others to him. He was looked up to and admired by everyone in his family and wide circle of friends. His accomplishments are far too many to list. He never faltered in his complete faith in the Lord. I will truly miss his awesome presence and appreciate the times throughout my life that he was there for me.
