Fisher; great nieces and nephews Ryan, Mya, Colby, Karna and Jameson and too many friends to count.

Along with his parents he was preceded in death by siblings Penny Simpson and baby brother Simpson and dogs that were his children Maggie, Harley and Petey.

Mr. Simpson was a graduate of Everett Area High School, Class of 1975.  After high school he went on to serve in the United States Navy.  After  his service to our country he went to work for R.L. Abatement.

Michael was a member of the Everett V.F.W. Post No. 2088 and was an avid motorcycle rider and enthusiast.  He loved his Pittsburgh Steelers and had a passion for donating to over thirty charities; of which Wounded Warrior Project, St. Jude and ASPCA he was particularly fond of.  Michael had the greatest sense of humor and could get away with just about anything with that “Mike Simpson Smile”.
