Nathan Joseph Simms

Nathan Joseph Simms passed away on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026. He was 11 years old. 

Nathan was born on May 18, 2015, to parents Joshua (Angel) Simms and Jessica (Jeff) Simms. He was a sixth-grader at Ozaukee Middle School. 

Nathan played football, baseball and soccer. His knowledge of sports stats was expansive. Nathan was known to rattle off his endless “nerdy facts” and could argue his point convincingly. He was known for his light, goofy spirit and was always making his friends and family laugh. He was sweet, gentle, caring and thoughtful. Nathan loved to give out hugs to anyone he could, and he loved to snuggle with his family. He enjoyed nature, fishing and spending time outdoors. When he wasn’t outdoors, he enjoyed gaming with his friends, siblings and cousins.

Above all, he loved being an older brother to Erynn, Cooper, Maverick and Wyatt. Nathan enjoyed spending his time with his cousins, friends and extended family whenever he could.  

Nathan is survived by his parents and siblings, his grandparents Shelly (Mike) Kroeger and Theresa (Scott) Hollrith and great-grandpa Richard Junge. He is further survived by many cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. 

He was preceded in death by his Papa Bruce Koehler, his uncle Alan Hamm and great-grandparents Ginny Junge and Joe and Betty Hamm.
