Shiloh's family and friends are naturally heartbroken. His passing was so sudden and unexpected. This is true especially since those who knew him understood and appreciated the fact he had a pure heart. He was a strong young man and enjoyed helping others. He possessed an unbridled passion for life and cherished his family and his pets. Everyone agrees his generosity knew no bounds.
Born on July 16, 1995, Shiloh eventually graduated from Putnam City North High School. He went to be with his Lord on October 11, 2018. In those fleeing 8,491 days spent on this earth, he mastered many lessons. The most important of these was simply to love all living things.
Shiloh is survived by his parents, Khristian A. & Jeffrey Simpsen, sisters, Amanda and Cristina, step-mother, Linda Smith and Curtis Smith. A memorial will be held 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, October 17th, at New Church, Britton Road and Rockwell. An informal reception preceding the service will be held at 12:30 p.m. at the church for friends. Donations may be made to The Recovery Center 5629, 1215 N.W. 25th St., Oklahoma City, OK 73106.
Given the melancholy nature of this event, a poem by Mary Elizabeth Frye seems appropriate:
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds circling flight,
I am the star shine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave bereft
I am not there. I have not left.
