Happy Birthday Brother. We all Miss You. Just wish we all got together more often....
This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Timothy Simms 63 years old , born on August 3, 1955 and passed away on January 17, 2019.
Timothy Kevin Simms was born to John Michael Simms, Sr. and Eula Lucille Williams. He was known as Timmy to his family and friends that span from coast to coast.
He was a great father to Mitchell, Sarina, and Bryan. He was a great grandfather to Gage. We knew him as Dad and Gage knew him as Grandpop.
We couldn't have asked for anything different from dad. We have so many fun memories of him being a father to us. He always kept things lighthearted which made life easier for us. We remember him being involved in our sports. We remember him taking us on vacations. We knew that we could always look to him for help and guidance in our times of need. We watched him work hard to provide for us and our mom, Debra Simms.
He will always be loved and missed by us.
We will remember him forever.

This is for you guys....
My Father, Who Art in Heaven
While it might seem that mothers are often more appreciated, I can not overlook the importance of my father.
Sometimes a little distant, sometimes more nurturing than one could expect, my dad built the image of a true man in my brother's and sister's eyes.
He never made a fortune, or a noise
In the world where men are seeking after fame.
Looking back over time I find myself wondering …..
Did I remember to thank you enough,
for all you have done for me?
For all the times you supported our needs, celebrating our successes, understanding our problems, and accepting our defeats without judgement...filling our darkness with your childhood smile.
You taught me by your example,
the value of hard work, good judgment, courage and integrity is what makes a man.
But it took me to be a parent to realizes you were absolutely right. My children who think I'm obviously to facts, feabisly wrong I'm told I now sit back, reflect quietly with a smile.
But I wonder if I ever thanked you enough for the sacrifices you made,
providing us the best within means, excepting the simpler, less quality of whats offered.
If I've forgotten to show my gratitude enough for all the things you did, I'm thanking you now....but I think you knew all along, how much you meant to me, I caught a glimpse of you the other night, a twinkle of light in the northern night skies followed by our mothers tears showering the night.

Those we have lost do not repose beneath the earth soil, or the ashes within an urn
They are buried deep in our hearts
It has been thus ordained that they may always accompany us...Happy Birthday Brother.

One year later seems like forever....
I've asked myself and talk to you as if you where still here, "How come you left so soon?
But the only answer that makes any sense is, "You're in the hands of something greater than us, unknown to us"
Perhaps a plan so devine we fail to comprehend. Though I know you walk among us, an angel of joy who lifts our spirits, a brother who will always be missed...forever loved.

My Brother ~ My Mentor
January 22, 2019
by Jerry Simms
Too many fond memories, not enough space to document it all. Timmy was a brother, a father, a mentor, a diffuser. A kind spirit that could make you smile, laugh even in the worse of your troubling days. Two fond memories stick in my head as I reminisce with a laugh and tears at the same time. In the early 70’s when Timmy was dating Debra Klein (Simms) out of High School and working: Tim came home from work on one particular day and me and Mitchell surprised Timmy with a FM Converter for his 68 Plymouth Road Runner, he was overwhelmed and couldn’t thank us enough…nevertheless he was now in tune to WKTK and other rock station. One thing I guess no one knew about Timmy was he had an excellent medical background in fighting a flu, let me explain; When Johnny, Timmy, Jerry and Lou Vinup occupied a rental property at 510 Fairmount Avenue, Towson MD a heavy snow storm fell that winter and we all contracted the Flu. Timmy came up with the idea on how to fight the flu with plenty of Vodka and Orange Juice….we were the happiest flu victims that year. The list is endless with laughs, pranks, etc., but receiving that call Thursday of an unexpected lost, felt like a rib being torn from my chest. I’ll forever remember you TK…
Uncle Timmy - from Teresa Taylor

To me he is my Uncle Timmy!!! I grew up with him along with the other 4 youngest uncles. Trust me when I say, I had the best childhood ever, between my mom, aunt Angie, and my uncles. Timmy was one of 5 pack, that yes, use to get us in trouble all the time with my mom, and when my mom finally got the truth, they were quickly gone (I still today, love thinking about all the fun I had as a kid growing up with them). One of many memories I have, my uncles were babysitting us and we were watching The Fog, my uncles went and hit the main power switch in the house, and the whole house went dark and us kids were running around screaming like a bunch of fools!!! Needless to say my momma was walking down Joppa Rd. towards the house and all she heard was us kids screaming, and she started running to the house thinking something horrible has happened, to find out my uncles were up to no good again!!! Uncle Timmy thank you for all the memories, a great childhood and especially an uncle I can seriously call a Friend. I often say, who needs friends when you blessed with a family like I have. RIP and love you.
