Tony L. Simpson, Sr., age 65, passed away on Tuesday, November 26th, 2024. He was a beloved father, papa, and friend whose legacy will live on in the hearts that knew him. Family was always the center of his world, and he worked tirelessly to provide them with a foundation built on love, respect, and hard work.
Tony retired from the Leon County School Board after 35 years as a HVAC mechanic. He took pride in his work and cared deeply for his fellow colleagues. He was an active member of the Fort Braden Community and loved to give back. He loved to be outdoors and in nature. In his free time, when he wasn't doing family things, you could find him on his Harley Davidson. He loved to ride and tinker on his motorcycles.
Tony is preceded in death by his father, Emory Simpson; mother, Violet Simpson; and brother, Joseph Simpson.
He is survived by his children, Tony L. Simpson, Jr. and Melissa Humphries (Juston) and his grandchildren, Toni, Layla, and Kinslee; his siblings, Kathy Simpson, Allen Simpson (Jonette) and Douglas Simpson; and several nieces and nephews.
A visitation will take place on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at Abbey Funeral Home from 10:00-11:00 AM, followed by a funeral service at 11:00 AM.
