Carlo De Simone

Carlo De Simone was born in Medford, Massachusetts on June 2, 1967 to parents Mario and Johnna De Simone. He was the second child of four, with an older brother and two younger sisters. He was raised in Massachusetts until the age of 13 when the family relocated to Phoenix, AZ.

In 2009, Carlo relocated his family to Iowa where he attended the nursing program at SWCC, graduating with an ADN in 2012.

Carlo touched the hearts of all who had the opportunity to meet him. Carlo De Simone passed away at the age of 56 on October 29, 2023 in Glendale, AZ. His kindness and warmth live on in his loved ones.

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles. I’ve only gone to rest for a while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief. So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am but as I used to be. Because, I will remember you all and look on with a smile. Understand in your hearts, I’ve only gone to rest a while. As long as I have the love of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
