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

OH MY GOD! I am in total shock and overwhelmed by sadness. He left us WAY too soon. My prayers go out to Jess, I'm so so sorry

I would like to express a happy memory. Before we had ever even really met I PM'ed Jeff because I was planning my annual Marathon trip. Me and my buddy had been trying to get a keeper black in the keys for the last 2 years. He offered us a number that produced a 15 lber for me and a 30lber for my buddy. Thats serious generosity to give a relative stranger your hot #'s. Later we met and hung out at the tournaments and drank some beers and swapped fish stories. He was just an all around good guy. I wish I had the opportunity to get to know him more and dive together as we had talked about. Rest In Peace.

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

WOW,
did not personally know him, but I felt i knew him through reading years of his post. I will miss the reports, and the great photos of him enjoying his day with Jess with their great catches.

I am very sorry for everyones loss.

Rip

Jon
There are 7 or 8 photos up on justnews.com I am not posting the link if you really want to look at them find them on that site. The photos are pretty graphic showing the crash. I was trying to find more info on the accident when I came across them.

photos of a boat on the road, white van, dark car, and silver ford explorer.

Please don't shoot the messenger.

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

Man, what a shame. Dove with he and Jess several years ago and they were both great with my wife and daughter. Good guy, he will be missed. My prayers go out to Jess and his family. I sure hope Jess is alright if she was in the vehicle with him. It sure looked bad. Jess, if you see this please let me know if there is anything I can do for you!

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

I just got third hand information that confirms that it was Jeff who was killed. I got no other details. I was holding out hope the report was mistaken.

I never dove with him, but I was always impressed with his ability to take a shit load of criticism and simply laugh it off. It's hard to picture him as an individual, he always seemed more like half a couple. I'm sorry Jess.

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

I'm sick as well, I can only see Jeff & Jess's photos from the tournaments flashing in my mind. My prayers for the families and I too hope Jess wasn't involved. Man, life is so fragile.

I was hoping /praying it was a mistake too. What a tragic end to a short life.
