Jacob "J-ROCK" Simmons

September 6, 1984 - January 30, 2021

Jacob “J-ROCK” Simmons, age 36, of Clay/Trussville area, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 30, 2021. He attended Clay-Chalkville High School and was one of the first graduating classes. An avid outdoorsman, he also enjoyed woodworking and cheering on the Alabama Tide. He worked as the owner of his new construction business (Roll With The Tide Construction), displaying his knack and creativity throughout his projects. Jacob truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; chatting with friends and family around a bonfire, deep-sea fishing, building wood art, and spending time with his nephew, Jonathan Daniel “JD”. Jacob had an uncanny ability to quote nearly any movie possible at the drop of a hat. Jacob was talented at many things, but the one role he cherished most was being there to lead his brothers and be a rock for his mother to lean on. He was preceded in death by his brother, Daniel Simmons, and his grandfather, John E. Sinquefield. He is survived by his mother, Georgia Simmons; brothers, David Simmons, Jordan Simmons (Candice Simmons) and Jonathan Simmons (Victoria Chambers); nephew, JD, and Fisher; fiancé, Stacie Chandler, and numerous extended family and friends. The family will receive friends on Saturday, February 6, 2021, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Deerfoot Memorial Funeral Home, with a funeral service to follow at 3:00 PM. In honor of Jacob, the family has requested that guests wear their best Alabama football attire to honor Jacob’s passion for Alabama football. “May you roll with the Tide and Rest in Peace.”
