Mark Hunt Simmons Jr.

Mark Hunt Simmons Jr., born on October 7, 1955, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, departed this life unexpectedly but peacefully at his home in Jamestown, Ohio, on March 29, 2025. He was 69 years old.

A proud graduate of Xenia High School in 1973, Mark dedicated his life to both his family and his career. He was the owner of Mark's Greenside Up LLC, a landscaping company that bore his dedication and hard work. Known for his hardheadedness and strong principles, Mark was always willing to lend a helping hand to those around him. His generous spirit shone as brightly as his good heart, defining his roles as both a husband and a father.

Mark treasured his time spent with family, finding immense joy in the accomplishments they shared. He is survived by his beloved wife, Beverly, with whom he celebrated 49 loving years of marriage, and their daughter, Dawn (Alfred) Fulton. He was also a proud grandfather to Carissa Fulton and great grandfather to Iris and Zaylon and cherished his role as a family man above all else.

In addition to his immediate family, Mark will be remembered by his mother, Grace Simmons, and his siblings: Jay Simmons, Terry (Lynne) Simmons, Jerry Simmons, and Gregg "Heinz" Simmons.

Mark's passions extended beyond his work; he took great pleasure in fishing, woodworking, and dune buggying, finding joy in the simple moments of life. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, for he leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication, and family values that will continue to resonate with his loved ones.

Mark was predeceased by his father, Mark H. Simmons Sr. As we remember Mark Hunt Simmons Jr., we celebrate a life well-lived and a heart that brought warmth to those fortunate enough to have known him.

A celebration of life will be held at the Masonic Lodge in Xenia (223 Corwin Ave, Xenia, OH 45385) on Saturday May 3, 2025 from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm.
