  1. Simon will be deeply missed. I had the honor of being his Brother n law. He cared deeply for everyone, especially his sister Jodie Crews. Wehen Simon and I first met he gave me the Brother talk telling me I better take care of his sister. Ever since that day we have been the best of brothers. Simon will never be forgotten his memory will live through all that knew him. RIP Simon Coker. “Together Again Someday”

  2. Sincere condolences to the family on the passing of this young man way too soon. I immediately recognized his face (even before I read his name) …….it’s the same smile I remember from fourth grade at Westlawn Elementary in LaMarque. He was a fine young man even back then! Thoughts and prayers to all. ❤️🙏🏼
