John Lester Simmons of Belen, NM has gone home, leaving behind a circle of those who loved him.

Here is a glimpse of the life he lived, in his family's own remembrance.

To raise a child is to give the world a future. John did this with care.

John was a wonderful husband, Father and Grandfather. A master plumber by trade, tennis player and avid traveler in retirement, he lived life to the fullest. He was always ready with a quick joke or a helping hand in any situation. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Ashley, his children, Kevin, Lori and Cheryl and children by marriage, Wayne, Tony, Patty and Tammy as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He will be missed by all who his life has blessed. Rest in peace, Papa.
