John Frederick Simpson
13 February 1955 - 14 April 2017
John Simpson, 62, of Lebanon, Kansas passed away peacefully on April 14, 2017.
John was born to Beverly (Post) Simpson and the late Richard Simpson in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on February 13, 1955. He grew up in Topeka, Kansas where he graduated from Topeka West High School. He attended Kansas State University and was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. He later entered the plumbing trade and worked on construction projects across Kansas for many years.
John was an avid sports fan. His favorite teams were the KSU Wildcats, KC Chiefs and the KC Royals, that he supported through good times and bad. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing in the Lebanon area with his family, friends and dogs. His home was a popular venue for guests during hunting season. John had a number of dogs through the years and they were always by his side whether at home or riding with him in his truck. His Brittany, Jenny, was a favorite of his.
John's interest in genealogy research allowed him to trace ancestors back to the Revolutionary War and the Mayflower. He created a large family tree that prompted people from all over the country to contact him seeking information about his research in Smith and surrounding counties.
John treasured his friendships with friends from Topeka and Lebanon. John hosted many a BBQ at his home. His family and friends will always remember and love John for his sincere care of others. He was always available to help others out. John had a big heart but, unfortunately, not a strong heart.
John was preceded in death by his father, Richard Simpson. He is survived by his parents, Gary and Bev Bothwell; brothers, Bob Simpson (Sandy) and Greg Bothwell (Karen); sister, Tammy Dishman (Jeff); nephews, Gray Bothwell (Kristin), Caleb Dishman (Linda); great-nephew, Liam Bothwell; as well as aunts, cousins and many friends.
Honoring John's wishes cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at a later date for John along with his aunt and uncle at Oak Creek. Family and friends will be notified of details in the near future.
John's final resting place will be North Oak Creek Cemetery in Smith County, Kansas.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to North Oak Creek Cemetery, sent in care of Kevin Brennan Family Funeral Home, 2801 SW Urish Road, Topeka KS 66614.
Note: Funeral Home verified place of death.
