Michael E. Simms

? Our precious angel Michael Elliott Simms, 25, died as a result of a car accident, on March 29, while visiting in Los Angeles, California. Born November 12, 1990 in Laurel, MD to Molly and Mauricio Simms, Michael was a 2009 graduate of Bowie High School. He was currently pursuing his associate’s degree in Information Security and Assurance at the University of Phoenix. Michael enjoyed playing soccer, listening to music, cooking family dinners, the Washington Redskins (where he was featured on their radio station), and most of all, watching his youngest brother play football. He was a member of Bowie High School’s state championship soccer team in 2008, where he was the “heart and soul” of the team. Michael was especially fond of his dog, Kisses. He is survived by his parents, Mauricio E. Simms and Molly E. Simms (nee’ Sinclair), along with his beloved brothers and sister, Mauricio E. Simms II, Miles E. Simms, Marcus E. Simms and Madeline E. Simms. Aside from his immediate family, he was adored and loved by a large extended family and friends. Michael was an organ donor and helped save another life. Michael had a kind, beautiful spirit and the world is different today without him. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 9 at 1:00 pm at Cornerstone Assembly of God in Bowie, Maryland. A viewing will follow at a later date at Beall Funeral Home. Details to come. “When you’re free, your light breaks the many in chains.” –Michael E. Simms via Twitter on February 18, 2016.
