Jason Tyrone Simmons

July 23, 1979 - June 29, 2019

Jason Tyrone Simmons 39, was born of the union of Graddie Simmons and Naomi Simmons Taylor. He graduated from University City High School. His greatest passions were cooking and music which he shared with everyone who knew him since early childhood. Jason was a real people person. Everywhere he went he drew a crowd even just sitting out on the porch. If you left him alone and came back, there would be a crowd on the porch when you returned. He was never a proud man, no matter the season he would always be found in his pajama bottoms, Cardinal jersey and house shoes. That was Jason, laid back and comfortable. Jason was always willing to lend a helping hand. He loved deeply and felt like you should show it rather than speak it. His philosophy was actions speak louder than words. Jason will be deeply missed. He leaves to mourn his mother Naomi Taylor, father Graddie Simmons; daughter Jayshawna Simmons, baby son Jaceon Simmons and his mother Cheryl Ford; brother Jeffrey Taylor; grandmother Fannie Cooley and a host of relatives and friends who loved him.
