A true friend in every sense of the word, a great singer and songwriter with a wonderful sense of humour. We’ll miss you mate, your voice, your laugh, your funny stories, and your unconditional friendship. Your memory burns brightly through the music you left us. Keep on rocking mate.

To my dear colleague and friend Simon, you’ve left a void in the team at STIHL. We look back on our time together with fondness. We remember the laughs we shared especially during Covid. Will miss your friendship. External rest grant unto you my friend. RIP Simon!

To our amazing Cousin Simon ,
We look fondly back on our childhood in the UK with you and your sister Samantha and remember all the fun times, the laughter and love. My brothers John and Allen recall playing superheroes, isn’t it funny how we remember these quirky, wonderful moments. Auntie Lena recalls beautiful memories when we were kids and has lots of photos of you looking as cute as ever. Your sense of fun, love and kindness will always be remembered. Your musical talent radiates through your incredible music and in your beautifully crafted song recordings, how lucky we are to have been privileged to hear it. Soar with the angels Simon, you will be forever in our hearts xxxxx

DAD,
I will forever be your proud daughter. I will forever cherish the memories of you making a serious situation into a goofy one,
I will forever cherish the music that you showed me growing up that connects me to you. I will forever cherish the videogames we enjoyed together. I am so blessed to have a dad as strong, protective and brilliant as you. I will forever tell my future children about their grandad Simon, and how he is forever smiling on us from paradise with their great-grandad Goeff.
I grew up always tell everyone about your music, and how amazing of a musician you are. I always bragged about having the funniest dad in the universe. You are too God for this world dad. I will forever cherish your legacy and celebrate your life.
You have and will always be, our Super-dad – forever and ever.
I love you with all my heart, always and forever.

Simon,
I can’t believe you are gone. My most precious memories from our childhood are still with me daily, i can’t think of York without thinking of you. I will be watching from the UK to say my goodbyes.

Though I never had the privilege of knowing Simon personally, I have come to understand what a remarkable man he was through the stories shared by his daughter Terri. A devoted father, a guiding light, and a source of strength, his presence left a lasting mark on those he loved.

You will sincerely be missed my friend. We are all lucky to have had you in our lives. First and foremost your humour will always be how you are remembered and your musical passion. I know your family has always been your proudest achievement.
