Simon Joseph Schippers, 39, passed away at his home in El Dorado on August 27, 2022.
Simon was born on April 15, 1983, in Hays, Kansas, to Charla Shipley and Gerald Schippers.
Simon
has two sons, Shiloh Lucas Schippers and Silas Eli Schippers. Simon
loved his job at Caravan Carpet and Tile. He was always there to help
his sisters with advice on any remodeling projects they had. Simon loved
his sons and spending time with them. He had a love for music and when
he could, he enjoyed getting his grandpa, Gerald Shipley to play his
violin. He tried to learn how to play different instruments. Some of his
favorite things in life were Fourth of July, playing darts, shooting
pool and bowling, especially when he could enjoy these things with his
sons. He was proud of his Stargazer Lilies as they grew 7 feet tall and
loaded with blooms and he helped Shiloh with his gourd garden. Simon was
always willing to help his family and friends. He is loved and will be
missed.
Simon is survived by his sons, Shiloh and Silas; his mother,
Charla Shipley; his father, Gerald Schippers (Darlene); sisters, Susan
Meyer (Brad) and Sarah McKee (Jake); step brother, Scott Stirnkorb;
nieces and nephews, Wyatt, CJ, Jack, Rylie, Julia, Abby, Cotty and
Priscilla; step nephew, Wyatt McKee; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and
friends.
