One of the wildest and weirdest thing in my bucket list is to attend my own funeral well I don’t know if I would be able to attend as a ghost so why not attend while I’m alive and of course I wrote my own eulogy.

Eulogy of Simeon Adewole AKA Sims

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed colleagues, cherished friends, and loved ones,

Today, we gather in a moment both solemn and profound. It is the culmination of a journey – a journey not just of time, but of thought, of ideas, of dreams woven into the fabric of a life well lived. We find ourselves at the crossroads of remembrance, and here we pause to reflect on the life of Simeon, a mind whose complexity and compassion will echo through the chambers of those who had the privilege to know him.

Simeon was not one to accept the ordinary, nor was his life one of simple paths. From the very beginning, he sought not just to exist but to understand the vast expanse of what it meant to be. He understood that knowledge is not a finite pursuit; rather, it is an evolving relationship with the world, a dialogue between intellect and experience. Whether through the medium of technology, science, or the written word, Simeon approached each moment with the reverence of a philosopher, the curiosity of an explorer, and the intensity of a scholar on a lifelong quest for truth.

In his professional life, Simeon demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to the convergence of knowledge and practicality. Whether working as a developer, supervisor, or writer, he never ceased to ask, “How can we use what we know to make the world better?” His work was not just an exercise in technical skill; it was a canvas on which he painted the future, with code, words, and action. A true advocate for transparency and progress, Simeon strived to build systems – whether digital or social – that empowered individuals and fostered trust in the process.

But perhaps the essence of Simeon is not merely found in his professional accomplishments. What set them apart was the profound connection they fostered with others. He was not just a teacher of lessons but a mentor of ideas, a listener of stories. Through his conversations, whether about the complexity of human genetics or the intricacies of personal growth, he created an environment where thoughts could be shared without fear, where ideas could grow without constraint, and where understanding could flourish.

And as we reflect on this life, we recognize that Simeon was not only concerned with the present or the immediate future; he was a thinker of legacy, a believer in the power of reflection. He questioned deeply, he probed critically, and he loved fully. His work, his relationships, and his thoughts will continue to resonate long after the echo of his last breath.

It is in the moments of quiet contemplation, where Simeon stood alone with his thoughts, that we find the most remarkable piece of this story. He was not just concerned with the knowledge he amassed but with the legacy he left – one rooted in kindness, integrity, and an unyielding belief in the potential of humanity. He knew that life was fleeting, but ideas were eternal. He understood that while time may strip away everything else, it cannot erase the impact of a well-lived life – a life that inspires others to think more, to feel more, and to live more consciously.

So, as we stand here today, we do not merely mourn the passing of a person; we celebrate the life of a thinker, a dreamer, a seeker – a person who understood that the questions we ask define us as much as the answers we find. Simeon’s legacy is not one of passive reflection but of active participation in the world’s ongoing narrative. He has lived with purpose, loved with depth, and contributed with sincerity.

In the end, what remains of us is not the fleeting memories of our passing but the ideas we leave behind and the hearts we’ve touched. Simeon leaves behind not just their work but a legacy of intellectual curiosity and a profound commitment to improving the world. His journey was never about simply reaching the destination; it was about how they navigated each step, each choice, and each challenge with the wisdom of someone who knew the worth of time and the responsibility of thought.

As we say goodbye to this brilliant soul, let us not be filled with sorrow but with gratitude. Gratitude for the way they enriched our lives, expanded our minds, and opened our hearts to the possibilities of what it means to truly live. For in his life, he left us a path to follow – a path that leads not just to the understanding of the world but to the understanding of ourselves.

Farewell, Simeon Adewole AKA Sims. Your life, your thoughts, and your impact are eternal.

This is more than eulogy.
