Re: R.I.P Jeffrey Simonds (keezdiver)

Oh my, I just heard about this, and am in total shock.
Never met, Jeff, but he seemed like a nice guy and liked by many.
Way too young to have passed. My condolences to, Jess, friends, and family.
RIP fellow spearo.

My deepest condolences, I just heard about this my self, had to call Andrew to verify if this is who I think it was. I'm still in a state of shock, R.I.P man you will be missed.

Re: R.I.P Jeffrey Simonds (keezdiver)

I haven't been on the Keys thread in awhile. I just can not believe that this has happened. I've been 'leaking' all morning. Jess, I'm sending you a strong hug. Lisa shared your wedding pictures with the LGDs not too long ago and I was taken back by how happiness and love just sprung out of every picture. Jeff will be missed by many - but you, my dear, are bearing a heavy burden. I had to call Dodge a couple of times this morning just to tell him how much I love him and to please be safe. The love - it doesn't leave. Jeff will always be watching over you.

Rest in Peace, brother. You are definately one of the good guys!

As a reminder - the viewing will be from 6-8pm Tuesday at the Dean Lopez funeral home on Big Pine Key. There will be an Honor Guard presentation at 7.

Re: R.I.P Jeffrey Simonds (keezdiver)

My most sincere condolences to his family and friends. Jeff was always keeping us updated with maps, regulations and all his pictures and interesting facts about marine life and conservation. Never had the pleasure to meet you, but it feels as if I've known many of you here on the Spearboard for years. You will be missed, buddy!!

Re: R.I.P Jeffrey Simonds (keezdiver)

Hey guys, I got this from a friend in Marathon. Not sure the details matter very much at this point...

"I heard a female was driving the FWC SUV towing about a 24' boat and lost control of the rig, went into the oncoming traffic, boat catapulted into another car. Several injuries besides your friend the SUV caught afire. TRUMA-STAR airlifted one victim and I think that was the other fatality a few days later."

"I saw some pics the next day, with the SUV ablaze, TERRIBLE! "

"His red car was still in the parking lot last Friday."
