Obituary For Mr. Jack “Najeer” Simon

Mr. Jack “Najeer” Simon was born May 20,1953 in Newark, NJ to the late Alberta and Curley Simon. He was the youngest of 24 children.

He lived and went to school in Newark, NJ. During his earlier years he served in the United States Marine Corps. He blessed to meet Linda and they later relocated to Beckley, WV. He was employed by Appalachian Regional Healthcare and Staples, from which he retired. Jack was a “loving husband”, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, deacon, and trusted friend.

Jack was called from labor to rest on Wednesday, December 7, 2022.

Jack attended the Church of God M.P.G.T in Harper Heights, WV and was an ordained deacon and served faithfully. He was a well-loved, dedicated, and devoted member. He was known to many as the “Favorite Senior Deacon” and “Pops”. His favorite songs were: “Falling in Love with Jesus”, and “His Strength Is Perfect”. His favorite scripture was: “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth”. (Psalms 34:1)

Jack was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, and son, R.J.

Jack departed this life in peace surrounded by his family.
