Obituary for Simms


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Saturday March 25, 2000

Kenneth Major Simms, 37, passed away at his home early Wednesday morning, March 22, 2000. Ken is survived by his sister, Charmi and Doyle; his brother, Robin; his parents, Linda and Robin Cronk; and his grandparents, Jim and Betty Hutchinson. Ken was a joy to all who knew him. He was a kind, generous, caring and helpful person. Though Ken carried very heavy burdens in his own life, he was always willing to take the time to help others. Some of Ken's interests included small machine repair, computer programming, gardening and helping his friends. He loved animals, especially his cat, Cleo. Ken carried his many burdens in life with grace, optimism and genuine joy. All who knew Ken, found their lives enriched by the living meaning of true friendship. Ken enjoyed collecting antiques and going to thrift stores in search of special treasures. Ken was actively involved with HealthCare for the Homeless and Aids Support Groups. Services will be held at St. Paul's Lutheran Church, 1100 Indian School Road NE, on Thursday, March 30th at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, family requests donations to The Ryan White Fund. Contact Laura Johnston at 272-8033 at the University Hospital. Ken was loved and will be deeply missed by his family. The wonderful memories he gave us will reside in our hearts, minds, dreams, and in our day to day lives. We miss you Ken.
