Daymon Simmons, a respected educator and long‑time community volunteer, died peacefully at his home in Warwick on June 12, 2026, at the age of 71. Born in 1955, Simmons devoted more than three decades to teaching at Warwick Primary School, where he was celebrated for his innovative lesson plans and dedication to student success.
Beyond the classroom, Simmons was a pillar of local service. He chaired the committee that organized the annual Warwick Summer Festival and acted as treasurer for the Bermuda Philanthropic Society, helping to raise funds for youth mentorship programs and disaster relief efforts. "He always put the needs of others first," said his wife, Marlene, who has been a partner in community projects for 40 years.
Simmons is survived by his wife, two adult children—Jamal, a marine biologist, and Nadia, a social worker—and five grandchildren. The family will hold a memorial service at St. George's Parish Church on June 18, 2026, followed by burial at the Bermuda National Cemetery. Friends and colleagues are invited to pay their respects.
The local community will remember Simmons not only for his professional accomplishments but also for the warmth and generosity he shared with everyone he met. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations of Bermudians.
