William "Willee" Simason

November 11, 1957 — March 23, 2025

Dayton, Ohio

William H. Simason "Willee" age 67, of Dayton, passed away peacefully on March 23, 2025.

A proud U.S. Air Force veteran and a loyal employee of Corken Steele for 19 years, Willee dedicated his life to service and hard work. Above all, he was a devoted father, brother, uncle, and Papaw, whose love and devotion to his family were the cornerstones of his life.

Willee had many passions, whether it was tending to his yard, attending baseball games, or cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes with his loved ones. He cherished every moment spent playing with his grandson, Holden, and those who knew him best will remember his generosity and selflessness. His heart was always open to helping family, friends, and anyone in need.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Dorothy Murph Hughes, and his father, Ralph Murph. He is survived by his children, Jessica Simason, Megan Simason, and Justin Simason; his grandchildren, Elijah Simason and Holden McBee; and his siblings, Denise Stickel (Gary Stickel), Sherry Wynn (Catherine Colosimo), Regina Dynes (Jim Dynes), Randall Murph, and Ralph Murph (Penny Murph). He also leaves behind numerous, wonderful great-nieces and great-nephews, all of whom he adored.

Family and friends are invited to gather for visitation on Sunday, March 30th, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, with a service following at 1:00 PM at Newcomer Funeral Home, 4104 Needmore Rd, Dayton, OH 45424. Burial will take place at Dayton National Cemetery on Monday, April 7, 2025 at 11am.
