In loving memory of our Simon

Celebrating Simon

Simon was a gentle, kind and wonderful human being. He was a cherished fiancé, son, brother, uncle and friend. Simon was funny, compassionate and always had time for people. He had a rare gift of instantly being able to connect with others, gaining their trust and respect. Whilst Simon was a proud Cornishman, growing up in the village of Ludgvan, Australia had become Simon’s home with his fiancée Jessie. Jessie made Simon so happy and complete – they had so many plans for their future together. Simon had a great passion for nature and the sea, as well as being a very talented photographer. We are very proud of everything Simon achieved and believed in, and how happy he had become. He will be missed terribly, and we love him dearly.

from Simon's family

Simon is the love of my life and I am the luckiest woman alive to have met him. Simon was one of a kind, and he was generous and selfless. He loved me, his family and his friends so fiercely. He is my soulmate, and was a wonderful son, brother, uncle and friend.

Simon loved the ocean and marine conservation was something he believed in deeply. He found great solace in nature and we enjoyed many adventures in this beautiful country, going camping, hiking and scuba diving. Inspired by his dad, he was passionate about nature and night sky photography.

He kept a special connection to his hometown Cornwall, and I cherish the time we spent there together with his family and friends. Simon, the world is a little less bright without you. I'll be missing you until we meet again.
