May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Simpson but I did have the pleasure of witnessing his football career at Miami Edison. He was absolutely one of the greatest running backs to ever play in Dade County. On 11/27/52 (my 10th birthday) he broke my heart and the hearts of all MHS Stingaree fans when he almost singlehanded led the Red Raiders to their first ever win over MHS 21-7. One of the greatest performances by one high school player I ever witnessed. My condolences to his family. God...

May you hold dear the memories of your loved one and may they bring a smile to your face. Hoping the one true God brings you comfort and hope to your heart. Matthew 5:4

We have lost a hero. I was blessed to know Jackie, and to follow his career. He was a leader and an example to all that knew him.
My condolences and best wishes to his family and friends that will miss him, as I do.
Rest in peace Jackie.

So many wonderful memories and so many tears .. He and Jimmy played together on the Red Devils football team at age 10 and were very close friends till my Jimmy's death 4 years ago ... Then Jackie remained a special friend as we spoke "gator" over these last years and talked about all our great times together ! His children were a wonderful support to him as he fought the good fight ! Love to you all , Nan Rountree

Eternal rest grant unto Jackie O' Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May Jackie's soul, along with the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

I'll miss you my friend!

My condolences to Jackie's family. I have known him since high school and he was a good friend over the many years to Larry & me.
