Jeffrey Simmons Sr.

Jeffrey W Simmons Sr., age 54, of West Chester, PA passed away on August 9,2022 at Paoli Hospital after a long battle with cancer. He was a loving father to his two children Jeffrey Jr and Samantha. 

 

Jeff was born in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania to William John Simmons (predeceased) and Teresa Simmons (nee McGrath). He loved working in the auto industry where he worked as a service manager for several car dealerships since he graduated Upper Darby High School in 1985. 

 

Jeff was Catholic and enjoyed attending Mass at St. Rita’s Parish in Gouldsboro, Pennsylvania. Jeff loved many things including all Philadelphia sports teams, fishing, and spending time in the Pocono Mountains where he lived for several years before getting sick. One of his greatest joys was watching the NASCAR races every Sunday. He loved being able to see the race in person every year with his family at the Pocono Raceway. This love for NASCAR was passed on from his father Bill, who was a sports reporter and often covered the NASCAR races. Some of Jeff’s favorite memories included going to work with his dad at the track. Jeff was also proud to pass on his love of NASCAR to his two children. 

 

Jeff is survived by his children Jeffrey Simmons Jr (Erin Simmons) and Samantha Simmons. He is also survived by his mother Teresa Simmons and two siblings Mark Simmons and Penny Simmons along with several nieces and nephews. Jeff is also survived by his best friend and former partner Jeanette Musco who was by his side through his entire battle with cancer. Jeff was predeceased by his father William J. Simmons. 

 

Jeff was always the life of the party and for that reason we can’t think of a better way to celebrate his life than with the kind of party he would enjoy. Please check Facebook for information regarding his celebration of life party. Burial services will be private.
