I will always remember Rod's kindness. He was a very special man who lit up a room. He had a way of making everyone feel special. The world lost a kind soul who will be missed by all he touched. I feel lucky to have known him. May his family and friends find comfort in their memories.

Mr. Simons,
You were the nicest, sweetest man. You always visited Andy and I even though Olivia was in the next grade. I will never forget the last time we saw you in Target you were on your way to a birthday party and spoke so kindly to my boys. You told them they were well behaved and mannered kids. I was so proud... You were a wonderful father and an all around amazing person. You will be greatly missed. I will pray for you and your family...

Although I was unable to attend the services. I would like a chance to show my respects in ways differing from prayer.
I recall a glimpse from youth where I was scheduled to perform in my elementary school chorus recital. I found myself severely lacking dress clothes and the funds to procure a set. Justifiably, I begun to panic; My Uncle Rod swiftly brought me to the store (Ames at the time) and purchased me all that I needed to ensure I would be properly dressed for the most important public event of my youth.
To me, he will always be remembered as an individual quick to put the immediate needs of others before his own: Optimistic and Selfless; he shall forever be remembered as such.

What moves through us is a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word with you.
We may not understand why you left us so soon or why you left before we could say good bye but little by little we begin to remember not just that you died but that you lived and gave us memories to beautiful to forget.
Thank you for all you gave to us. We will miss you terribly.
Jackie, Olivia and Gina, we will be there for you in what ever way we can.
Love you all
