In Loving Memory Of Daniel Evan Simonson August 18, 1936-June 2, 2020 Daniel Evan Simonson (Dan) passed away peacefully June 2, 2020 at Beehive Home in West Jordan, Utah. He was born August 18, 1936 in Fillmore, Utah to Billie and Roy Simonson. Dan grew up in Baker, Nevada with his mother and sister and he spent hours on end fishing, hunting or just roaming the hills of Baker. He later moved to Ely, Nevada where he worked for the White Pine County Road Department, retiring after 30 years. Once retired, he continued doing the things he loved, including fishing, hunting, riding around in his truck and visiting friends. When his health started to decline, Dan moved to Salt Lake City, Utah to be closer to his sister and her family. Throughout his declining health Dan continued to laugh and smile. Dan loved to collect hats, drink coffee and eat candy. He loved all dogs and to spend time with his family and friends. One of his favorite things was when his family would come and visit with a strawberry shake or sundae and hard candies, especially if his great nieces Micki or Maddie brought him a treat. He appreciated when his sister Sharron would bring his dog Grimmie to see him. It always made him smile. He had a contagious laugh that would also make others laugh when he laughed. Dan was preceded in death by his sister Marquita, father Roy, mother Billie, and his little dog Grimmie. He is survived by his sister Sharron and brother-in-law Vernon Hutchings, nephews Clinton Hutchings (Heidi), Kenneth Hutchings (Shannon), niece Jolynn Hutchings, four great nieces Lindsey, Hailey, Michaela, and Madison, and friends at Beehive Home.
