It’s been over 3 months, since the world lost Simon. For you Jenni, I’m guessing the dust from all the commotion has probably settled a bit; the texts, phone calls and drop-ins have probably just about come to a full stop. I lost someone that meant the world to me once, and I learned it was the notes that came later that I appreciated a little more deeply, so this one is for you, and that’s why I’m sending it now…to let you know people still think of Simon, and people you don’t even know care about you because of the man he was to us. I met Simon a few years ago at a DAV Patriot Bootcamp, and we were Ambassadors together with Bunker Labs these past three years. Simon and I had many a good talk about his past life helping others battle addiction and how that pertains to some vets and the overlap with my mission. His transparency, big smile and warm heart were some things I always appreciated about Simon every time we linked up at a Bunker Lab event. One time chatting in the airport he really opened up about his past, and gave me huge insight for how to help veterans before they get in a bad place. Since then, I’ve been able to help hundreds thru his powerful insight and guidance, and I thought you should know the positive impact he still having in this world.
My deepest sympathy for your loss and grief. May the lord bless you, and keep you, make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.

Simon not only talked the talk but walked the walk I miss him terribly. He was a true power of example.

People/friends like Simon come and touch so many people. The one thing that I remember most and have the most respect for is Simon’s honesty and integrity. He was a person that didn’t know the word stop. He gave and gave, I don’t believe that he was aware of his constant giving and his respect for others! True gentleman and a great person! His presence is missed, but his words and kindness will always remain.

Simon was an OG in my childhood community. Older than most of us young ones, I still have a very early memory of his family coming over and him patiently playing legos with me … I was in awe of his age, charm and building skills. We were lucky to have had this beautiful soul in our lives.

Simon, you and I had similar sponsors in the beginning even though we were on different coasts. Those men taught us how we should put ourselves in the proper perspective. 5th thought right. Gods spead my friend.

Simon, you are truly missed. In the short time that you’ve been here with us you have left us with an incredible sense of purpose, pride and strength that you shared with us. Also all of the generosity you have shared with my family and the friends in the Fuquay Group.

Memories are forged from the experiences you have had, stories that were told, and the comfortable silences in between. I was pleased to have had all three with Simon many times over. It's easy to make the mistake of looking to the outside world to define success, when the real driving force is the "who" you are doing it for. That's the real success. And that's you, Jenni. You've been the constant rock, the anchor that allowed him to set sail city after city with confidence knowing that he was tethered to a strong foundation. Behind every entrepreneur is a strong support system. Thank you for being that and helping him share his light to illuminate the path for others to follow.

Simon, you were an example of incredible selfless service, leadership and determination. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to get to know you and serve with you in the Ambassador program with the IVMF.
To Simon's wife and family whom I have never met: You have no idea who I am, but I want to share my sincerest condolences to you, and also my gratitude to you for being Simon's support through all of his efforts. My life and many, many others are better because of it. Thank you.

Jenni, thank you for being the wife that you are. Entrepreneurs like Simon are cut from a different cloth. Having a spouse that supports the high-highs and the low-lows is incredibly important. You provided that for Simon in spades. As a result of your unwavering support, he was able to impact the lives of thousands of people in an empathetic and authentic way. On behalf of every entrepreneur, everywhere, Thank you. ~ Ray & Rebecca Antonino
