Mark Elliott Simmons, 54, a resident of Eden, passed from this life Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024, in the Emergency Department at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. He had been in his usual health and death was unexpected.
Mark was born Thursday, Sept. 25, 1969, in Elkins, a son of the late Robert Elliott Simmons and Delores Weese Simmons, who survives.
On Oct. 12, 2012, in Kumbrabow State Forest, he married the former Barbara Shreve, who survives at home.
Also left to cherish his memory are three children, Tyler Simmons and girlfriend, Nicole, Joshua Shroud and wife, Stacey, and Ashlea Chapman; five grandchildren, Zayne and Alizaya McCauley, Bailey Daniels, Zaylon Freeman and Harlee Everley, and a granddaughter on the way, Linleigh Simmons; two siblings, Danny Simmons and Loranda and Roberta McSpadden; two nephews, Damen Simmons and wife, Meagan, and Hunter McSpadden; and one niece, Emily Simmons.
Mark attended the schools of Randolph County and had been employed as a timber cutter at Starkey's Logging.
He enjoyed fishing, hunting and processing deer meat for his family and others. He took pride in his work; and adhered to high personal standards no matter whether he was processing for himself or someone else. Mark loved spending time with his family, and especially loved to cook for them. He adored his grandchildren and was so excited for Linleigh's arrival in March.
A visitation will be held at the Randolph Funeral Home Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2024, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. Mark's request for cremation will then be honored.
The Randolph Funeral Home and Cremation Services has been entrusted with the arrangements for Mark Elliott Simmons.
