How you can help
We are heartbroken to announce that Nicholas Benjamin Simmons unexpectedly passed away in his sleep on Saturday, December 13, 2025 at the age of 39. He was highly involved in a number of endeavors including a startup, a venture fund, and book publishing. Nick's ultimate life goal and greatest happiness was bringing together passionate, interesting people.
At the time of his death, Nick and his wife Rebekah were in the middle of the next great journey: starting a family, with career changes and medical care well underway. There has been no determination in his cause of death at this time, and no explanation will ever be satisfactory for this loss felt by so many.
You can help us preserve Nick’s legacy by submitting photos, videos, and memories under the “Memories” tab on this site.
We want to honor Nick's life and ethos surrounded by his loved ones and the enormous number of people whose lives he touched with a memorial for him that honors this spirit. Due to the suddenness in the change of circumstances, additional financial support would be greatly appreciated to help cover the memorial, burial, and other related costs. Any amount contributed is greatly appreciated. You can contribute to Nick's memorial fundraising here: https://gofund.me/a75e8ee75
