Arrangements have been entrusted to Altmeyer Funeral Home Southside Chapel.
Jeff rented a room in my house in Portsmouth, VA in 2021. After leaving, he returned twice asking for help and a temporary place to stay. He always had a story to tell, an opinion to express, an offer to fix something, or a suggestion of how something should be done differently. I never knew what to believe. I often had to stand up to him and ask him to dial it back because he was louder and bigger than life and could quickly fill a room! Underneath it all was a young man who wanted deep loving connections but didn’t always know how to do that successfully. I’m shocked and saddened by his passing. May perpetual light shine upon him and may his soul rest in peace.
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of Jeffrey Lee Simonds, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten.
My thoughts
and prayers to the family of ….
US Marine Veteran, Jeffrey Lee Simonds, is “A True American Hero” God Bless†
