It is with heavy hearts, we announce the unexpected passing of Jerome Alan Simon, 56, in Sweet Home, Oregon on June 13, 2025.Born April 20, 1969 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario the son of George Simon and Arlie Patricia Richards. Husband to the late Rona V. Simon, and stepfather to Josh Borlaugh and Kylah Borlaugh.

He will be fondly remembered by his uncle Joseph, aunts Bernadette Hilderley (late Roy), Janis Schnablegger (Walter) Rosalie Simon (late Stan) and his many, many cousins.
Jerome married Rona in Las Vegas in 1998, and they later moved to her home in Sweet Home, Oregon in 1999. After graduating from Sir James Dunn high school, he enrolled in Sault College’s Computer Engineering program, where his expertise in computer programming helped him to secure a job working for Lowe’s Distribution Human Resource Center as a computer technician. Jerome loved his job and was a multi tasker as he not only worked at the computer in the H.R. office, but he also worked as a fork lift operator on the warehouse floor, loading appliances when he was needed. He was awarded employee of the month multiple times for his dedication and work performance.
Cremation was handled by Sweet Home Funeral Chapel, and interment of cremated remains as well as a celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date.
A special thank you goes out to Kylah, Rona’s daughter for all the kind support and preparation work she has done for the family. We can’t thank her enough.
