It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Tommy. He was a deeply loved son, brother, husband, father, and friend. His kindness, strength, and unwavering love for his family touched everyone who knew him.

Our family is devastated and still trying to process this loss. During this incredibly difficult time, we are asking for help to bring him home to Redding from the Bay Area so he can be laid to rest surrounded by the family and community who loved him so much.

The costs of transporting his body, funeral services, and related expenses have placed a significant financial burden on our family. We want to give him the respectful and loving farewell he deserves, but we cannot do it alone.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward:

* Transportation from the Bay Area to Redding

* Funeral and memorial service expenses

* Burial

* Associated end-of-life expenses

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand your prayers, kind words, and sharing this page mean just as much to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, love, and compassion during this painful time. We are forever grateful.

With love,

Tyler Simpkins (son), Claudia Simpkins (wife) Claudia, Gloria, William (step-children) Sheila Koski (mom) Brandi Stroud (sister)
