We are heartbroken to share that Damonte “Dee” Simpson passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 16, 2025. Dee was known for his unforgettable smile, his quick wit, and the crazy things he would say that always made us laugh. He was a kind and respectful person, always showing good manners and a positive attitude. Dee loved sports, especially basketball, and his passion for the game brought joy to everyone around him.

Many people have reached out to Calesha, Ramone, and our family, asking how they can help during this incredibly difficult time. We are raising funds to cover Dee’s memorial and cremation expenses, and if possible, to purchase special mother and father necklaces to hold his ashes. Your support will help us honor Dee’s memory in a meaningful way and ease the financial burden on our family.

Any amount you can give is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your kindness, support, and prayers as we remember and celebrate Dee’s life. Your generosity means so much to us, and we are grateful for every message, memory, and donation shared.
