Happy Heavenly 72nd Birthday, David. You left us way too soon. Thinking of you and remembering all the wonderful times while you were with us here on earth. We know your soul is resting peacefully and you will be reunited with your family and friends when the day comes. I think you are better off where you are. The world has changed drastically in a way that you would never have imagined. Continue to rest peacefully and be away from all this madness here down here!

Thinking of you and your beautiful smile and all the laughs we used to have together. You were taken away from us so suddenly but you will forever be in my memory. Many years have gone by but you will always remain my best friend. Sleep peacefully until we see each other again.

David was very adventurous. We rode on his motorbike from Kingston to Montego Bay when we were dating as teenagers. It was so much fun but I was very nervous and scared to be a passenger on a bike for such a long, dangerous trip. My mom was even more scared for us. She was so happy when we returned home safe and sound.

Dear Cousin, David John, I called, I texted, and left you several voice messages, but there was no response. Cuz, I never knew that the three days of silence meant it would be my last conversation with you in this life. We had so many plans for the future, but God had a better plan for you. Cuz, you have left me with a wealth of information, of which I will execute in the near future. Your knowledge supersedes my wildest imagination. Our many, many days and nights of conversations, along with your infectious laughter will never be forgotten. So many times I had to get a grip on my self, because, I attempted to text and call you, forgetting that you are no longer here with us. Sometimes, it feels like a dream, I still cannot come to the reality that you’re are gone. May your precious soul rest in God’s everlasting peace. Lovingly submitted by your Cousin Jobe Puranda

David was a unique man and a true friend. He had many outstanding qualities. He was kind, considerate and a whole lot of fun. I trusted him with my life. In 1774 David flew Trevor and me to Montego Bay in a 4 seat Cessna. I also enjoyed riding with him on his motorcycle. On one occasion I went with him to visit his niece Simon and her Mom. Family was very important to David. Cecil and Joyce Simpson were his role models. In my mind's eye I can still see the love they both had for each other. David promised me a spin in his Red 2007 Shelby T 500. David was also a spiritual person. According to Jesus words at John 5: 28 & 29 and Psalm 37: 29 I look forward to seeing David and his loving parents in the very near future. As David would always say " Peace and Love"

My sincerest heartfelt condolences to David Simpson’s entire family and close friends. I have known David since he was 14-15 year’s old. Back in the day, the late 1960’s, my friend Pat, his sister, would sometimes pick me up for our work at T. Geddes Grant in Kingston Jamaica, and David was in her car as he was noticing my younger sister while she sat on the front verandah waiting on her ride to go to school. He was a little shy, but a funny, likeable, warm, and caring young man. David and FeIicia were married for a while, and when they were living in Toronto, as I was in the 1980’s, I had the occasion to see him sometimes.
My sadness is compounded that this opportunity to say hello to Pat and Marguerite after all these years is under this tragic circumstance. As Michael Jackson fittingly said, David Simpson has definitely Gone too Soon! May he keep the angels laughing up in Heaven as he rests in peace. Godspeed Dear David.

My family and I are shocked and deeply saddened by David's sudden passing and would like to extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family, especially Pat, Marguerite and Richard, whom we have known for over 50 years. David (“Simo” as he was often called), was a beautiful soul. He was kind, gentle, very compassionate and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He taught me how to cook and I taught him how to dance when he accidentally stepped on my toes during the slow dance at my high school graduation in 1972. Recently, David was helping my sister, Margreth, to navigate through our Ancestry search to locate our relatives. His search led him to a connection between his family and ours. He discovered that we are, in fact, fourth cousins. The morning of the day he passed, we were communicating via text but he really didn't sound like himself. I asked him if he was ok and he said, "Yes, Cuz, I am ok." Little did I know that was going to be the last time we spoke.
David, we are all going to miss you and your warm, beautiful smile. I am going to miss your many jokes and all your beautiful photos and videos of the lovely dishes you so often cooked and sent to me regularly. I am going to miss hearing about all the other cousins you discovered through your very passionate Ancestry search. You were one in a million and you will be sadly and deeply missed. May you sleep peacefully.
Love from Felicia Simpson (Dawn Brown) and family.

I am so deeply saddened to have learnt of David’s passing – in shock as we had spoken just hours the evening before…..
Our friendship spanned 37 years with a period of losing contact when he migrated, but it was as if time had stood still when we reconnected ….
A gourmet chef with a passion for fast cars, model airplanes, and guns, he was a wonderful listener, polished, patient, non judgemental, dependable as he was helpful, despised conflict, a gentle man with a huge heart and a warm spirit ….. a quiet voice that would calm any storm…..
I remember telling him one Sunday afternoon that I was multi tasking by roasting a chicken and baking his infamous cheesecake both at the same time, and could only imagine him rolling his eyes as he chuckled and suggested that may not have been such a good idea….. his use of words such as ‘apothecary’ and sharing with me how many cousins he had discovered in his quest to track his ancestry - so important was family to him……..just a few of the wonderful memories I will forever treasure…….
I am grateful that we journeyed together, and am comforted in knowing that David knew his Creator. Our merciful God wanted him home where he now rests nestled in peace – free from the concerns of this world…….
My heart goes out to his loved ones. Until we meet again my love…….
