Mitchel Ray Simmons

To My Cousin ‘Mitch’
So many memories, so many thoughts. You touched my life in a big way.
A few things that come too mind are you taught me to ride motor cycles, introduced me to Led Zepplin blaring on your stereo, lead the way by example of how to be a parent & love kids unconditionally, always treated me like a equal even thou I am younger and a girl, and lastly I knew you always had my back. “Your telling me like it is.“ helped me to overcome some difficult times and move...

I will miss receiving phone calls from Mitch every time he was driving through Tennessee. He would call and tell me, "Hey, I driving by where you grew up." I will always remember him telling me this when I was learning to ride my dirt bike, "When in doubt just gas it!" He will always be remembered in my heart as a very honest and straight forward man.

Mitch was one of my closest friends and no one could ask for a better one. He was a gentle giant. You could see the love in his eyes when he would talk about his grandchildren. He was so proud of them and was looking forward to spoiling them and spending more time with them and his family.

I will miss you but you will never be forgotten. The memories I have of you will always be with me. I only wish I could have made one more trip with you.

I know your trucking on that...
