Thomas Brian Simoneau

Thomas Brian Simoneau born August 31st 1965 son of Marcel and Claire Simoneau passed away unexpectedly June 15th. Tom was the youngest of 6 siblings completing the Simoneau tribe. He spent most of his younger childhood years living in the South End of Burlington a few streets away from his dad’s store called Simmys ( hence, the nickname Simmy ). Throughout Tommy’s childhood he never lacked adventure. From camping, fishing, being in the marching band at Christ the King to just being a mischievous boy with his neighborhood friends. Tommy was always on the go. He furthered his education at Champlain College earning a 2 year Business Degree. As he entered the workforce, he started out at Pepsi Cola. Back in the day it was privately owned. He worked there for 25 years as a driver and eventually became the local tractor trailer driver. He was a hardworking man. Anyone that knew Tommy loved him. When he wasn’t working, he played in the band Pegasus for several years. Who knew that little boy playing the drums in a marching band would turn out to be a phenomenal drummer. He was not just a great drummer but was also an extremely good dancer. If he wasn’t playing in the band he would be hanging out at Shanana’s dancing up a storm. He was just an overall great guy.

Tommy eventually met the love of his life Anna. They have been married to one another for almost 25 years. They had one child together named Cam. Tommy devoted his life to his wife and child. Together they had many commonalities from cooking, gardening, and camping. Just overall a wonderful relationship. When Tom left Pepsi, he went to work for VT. Teddy Bear factory first as a warehouse specialist and then as a receiving lead. He had been there for many years until the company diverted its assets and sold off some of their products. Tommy took a buyout and spent the remaining time with his wife Anna. After Cam graduated from college and moved to Colorado, they were empty nesters.

Tommy leaves behind many loved ones. His oldest brother Michael Simoneau and wife Geri Reilly and their two children Mike Simoneau Jr. and Reilly Simoneau. His brother Patrick Simoneau and daughter Grace. His sister Peggy Miller, husband Dave Miller and her three children Brad Bouchard and his wife Ragi, Jeff Bouchard and his wife Teffy and their two children Emma and Jax, and Carly Bouchard.
