Dad always had a special connection to Tiffany. She was his pride and joy. He loved her dearly. She was always in caregiver mode around dad. She always made sure he had what he needed. Closer to the end of his life she would go in and check his temperature and oxygen levels multiple times day.
Dad loved watching BYU sports!
Princess Sparkles (the cat) will miss snuggling up to dad all day, every day.
In his younger years he enjoyed going hunting with his dad and the extended Simmons family.
Dads’ greatest love was fishing and tying flies. He loved time on the water in his float tube catching as many crappies as he could. He spent countless hours fishing with his son Josh and his buddies. Watch out Steve and Kenny, I hope he will leave some fish for you two to catch in heaven.
