Ellis Jon Simcox

Ellis Jon Simcox was born on Thursday, October 2nd, and entered the arms of Jesus

just a few minutes later. Though his time on earth was brief, Ellis was deeply loved by

his parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and family friends.

Although Ellis faced many medical challenges in his life, every moment with him was a

gift, and his life was marked by love.

Ellis is survived by his parents, Stephen and Cristen Simcox; siblings Bradley, Abby,

Sawyer, and TJ; grandparents Chris and Stacy Nelson and Mike and Debbie Simcox;

great-grandmothers Joyce Smith and Dot Nelson; uncles and aunts Ruston and

Stephanie Thompson, Daryl and Kami Nelson, and Blake and Caiti Jones; and cousins

Lexi, Avery, Levi, Jackson, Keaton, Maddie, Harper, and Ellie. He was preceded in

death by his brother Elliott Simcox, along with his great-grandparents Herman and

Patsy Fitzhugh, Travis Smith, Pat Nelson, and Katie Atwood.

The family is deeply grateful to the team at Baylor Scott and White Hillcrest Hospital for

their compassionate care and to their church family, life group, friends and family for

surrounding them with love during this difficult season.

“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be

present with the Lord.” —2 Corinthians 5:8
