Paul was such a great joy to be around..He always made me laugh.. I met Pauly at Heartland CC where we became good Central IL friends. We would always hang out but going to Bible study taught by his father were some of my best memories with him. His aura was so bright..he was such a joy to be around and spend time with. I will miss you, Paul. You're forever in my mind and heart.

So sorry to hear about Paul's passing. While I only knew him briefly, it felt like we had been friends for a lifetime.  I'll certainly miss his larger than life personality, humor, and his unbridled enthusiasm over the smallest of things. Prayers of support and guidance Paul's family during the difficult time.

I've uploaded a photo I had on my phone from one of the last times we went biking. He certainly had a talent for it.


Jamie, 
My computer froze.  Uncertain if previous message I attemped to send went through. I attend same church as you. I hope to  meet you soon.  Angels mighty in strength are always withyou.

Paul was a kindergarten student of mine. I always enjoyed his bubbly personality!
I am so, so sorry to learn of his passing. 
My prayers are with your family.

Not many of my childhood and school memories don’t involve Paul. From sledding at legion lake, watching his crazy bikes tricks, and him always, always making people laugh. I hope the memories and funny stories will help provide comfort and maybe a smile when you think of them. Your family is in my prayers. 


Simulis Family,

Deepest sympathy from our family to yours.  I remember  looking out my window in Flanagan,  seeing Paul coming down the road riding his bike, he would stop by and talk with my boys, he would make everyone laugh, he was so full of energy and was always smiling.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you all, we are truly sorry for your loss.

Phil, Josh, Sarah, Tim, Uncle Jerry and Aunt Laurie, Jaime and the girls, I am so sorry and so sad that this has happened. We are praying and praying for you guys. I can’t imagine the pain. My heart is breaking for you. 
All our love.

Paul, I was just with you about two weeks ago and we were telling each other how much we appreciated each other, that we were family, that we had love for each other as family. I’m going to miss your smile, quick witted quips, & just having easy conversation with you. I’m thankful we had that conversation because it means more to me now then it did in that moment. I love you, I will miss you, & you will forever be in my heart and mind.

To the family, no words could express the deep hole this tragedy has left in everyone’s heart. I can only keep you all in my thoughts and prayers as you each navigate this very difficult time. I am here for you in any way. I love you all.

Paul, I've been broken up since I've heard the news and can't believe that you are gone. This still feels like a really bad dream. You are one of my dearest friends who has always been there for me no matter what. I would just call you and we'd talk about life and how we could make it better. We talk about going into business together and we'd run ideas by each other to help each other grow and be more successful. I love you like the brother I never had and I miss you dearly. Rest in Peace my friend.  

Paul I will miss you dearly I still have videos of us skating and you doing backflips on your bmx bike. I was trying to get ahold of you not too long ago it really tares me up It's been 10 years since I seen you. RIP brother you will never be forgotten. I skated for the first time in 2 years at the place we met in minonk. It's like you wanted me too. I didn't find out the news till after I left the skatepark. You'll always be on my mind.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was just thinking about all the baseball games. How sweet and kind the kids were Cale. Alot of special memories. Thoughts and prayers for Jaime and their daughters.  Prayers for all. 

Rest In Peace our dear nephew Paul!
When you were around two I would come over and visit  and baby sit all of you.  
Paul would always say  monkey! Monkey! Which meant I would grab and hug you.  Then you would crawl up my stomach holding my arm and you would flip backwards!  Then laugh and 
say monkey! Do it again!  Your 
laugh was contagious and you 
smiled always!  Until we meet again Paul!   Rest in Eternal Peace! Love! Uncle Joe and Auntie Lee Kelly❤️



To all the Simulus family, we are saddened to hear of Paul's passing.  To all of us, who were lucky to have had Paul in our lives, please cherish your memories of him. I have cried and laughed numerous times today, thinking about Paul and his funny sense of humor. 
Mike & I got to enjoy Paul and his friends at our home often. Paul and Matt use to threaten me with jumping off our garage into the pool. One of the funniest things I remember is the day Paul asked me if I had any tape. Of course I asked why and his reply was "because I'm ripped!" as he flexed his skinny & very white arms. He was full of this type of comedy and so entertaining. 
Thanks for all the laughs Paul.

DEAR SIMULIS FAMILY, REALLY SAD TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF PAUL, MY SON KEVIN AND I WERE LIVING IN FLANAGAN IL. WHEN PAUL AND FAMILY WERE LIVING THERE, MY SON KEVIN GOT TO BE GOOD FRIENDS WITH PAUL, PAUL WAS A VERY FUNNY BOY! I SAY BOY BECAUSE,THEY WERE JUST YOUNG THEN, PAUL WAS ALWAYS HAPPY AND VERY FRIENDLY! SUCH A GOOD MAN AND PERSON TO LOSE, REST IN PEACE PAUL! PRAYERS TOO THE WHOLE FAMILY OF PAUL, SINCERELY RANDY MOSS, KEVIN MOSS
