Cremation & Memorial Service Costs for Joe Simms

On December 6th, my stepfather Joe Simms passed away unexpectedly at his home in Fulton, MO. My dad was a Missouri School for the Deaf alumni and known throughout our local deaf community by many. He was an avid sports enthusiast, animal lover, and an outstanding parent and grandparent. An introvert at heart, he spent his days at home with his pets and his wife watching sports and various movies, maintaining an immaculate home, and cooking some of the most delicious meals known to man (I may be biased, but my dad was an unrivaled cook!)

With his passing, his family has been left with the task of trying to come up with the money to cover the cost of his cremation as well as a small memorial service. Joe did not have life insurance nor any savings to aid in paying for such an unforeseen tragedy.

I have made this fundraiser in hopes that we can raise some of the money needed to cremate my father and have his remains brought home to his family.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
