Daniel Simon Obituary

Daniel Jay Simon, age 45 of Santa Fe, NM, passed away on June 25, 2025. Dan was born in Philadelphia, PA, to Bonnie and Maurice Simon, and was a graduate of Abington Friends School and the State University of New York at Purchase.

Dan was one of a kind - he moved to Texas and then New Mexico years ago and enjoyed the outdoor lifestyle. He was a talented musician, and a loyal Philly sports fan.

He is survived by his children Miles and Jack, his parents Bonnie and Maury Simon, his sister Allison (Michael) Meltz, niece Riley Meltz, nephew Sam Meltz, and his former wife Anne Davidson-Martinez.
