It has been a blessing for me to have known Simon every since 1970's we used to play basketball in their back yard back in the day. I would go over to his Moms I would see him there me and his brothers Marvin and Charles would ride in his Cutlass with T Tops in it. Simon would let his brothers borrow his car at times. Simon always had love for helping people even way back then. So with that being said I've known Simon all my life we would talk and he tell me he loved helping people because it was in his Heart to do so. One thing he would even help people that couldn't afford to pay him were else can you find a man like him. Me and Simon was at Auto Zone this pass Sunday cutting up and joking and laughing when he did work for me he would always say COME STRONG WITH IT..I will always remember Simon as DA Man when it came to fixing a car that was his ''Gift to Us'' Simply put it their will never be another like Simon Oates ...He will truly be missed in this Community. Our hearts are now Heavy but '' God Had A Plan''
Our prayers are with the Oates Family

I met Mr Oates many years ago at the auto parts store. We shared many laughs, he was such an awesome guy. If he could do you a favor he would, Mr Oates was always helping someone. He truly cared about people. I still can't believe he is gone it breaks my heart. He was a very good person. I will miss him a lot.
