Thomas Ford Simons, Jr crossed over to his new life Saturday, July 18, 2020 at the age of 79.


Tom wore many hats during his life from meteorologist in the Navy to the Emergency Preparedness Director for the City of Thibodaux. He reveled in being an investigator in law enforcement and the private sector but he was most proud of his service as the Chief of Police of the City of Thibodaux. He was a Past President of the Thibodaux Playhouse and enjoyed being in many plays. He was the Past Commander of the American Legion Post 11.

Tom loved, beyond measure, his wife Suzanne and children Thomas III, Timothy, Jill and Michael. He was also blessed with eight grandchildren: Dustin, Cody, Timothy, Sidney, Matthew, Grant, Charlotte and Catherine plus his great grandson: Owen. He considered his sisters Lynn and Judy as his best friends.

As a resident of the City of Thibodaux he touched many lives and enjoyed many many great friendships. Above all, he always wanted to be of assistance to anyone in need.


There will be no services at this time, but if you would like to make a donation in his name to the American Legion Post 11, the Thibodaux Playhouse, or the Good Samaritan Food Bank of Thibodaux, they would be most appreciated.

Samart Funeral Home of Houma (West Park) is in charge of the arrangements.
