I know Simon (aka Saiko)  as an online friend that we used to draw our own characters on discord and instagram too. We rarely talk to each other, but I know he was a huge supporter to this community and was a very talented kid. It has been almost over a year since his passing and I am offering to my respects to his family and friends. You were the best supporter and friend I'll never forget, rest well Saiko.

Ruthie, I work with you in the past. I seen how hard working you are and always a great mother. I met Simon when he was 7 years old he was a great kid who love you very much. There are no words to describe your pain. My condolences to you and family.

Dear Simon.

As an Epik Gamer member I would like to say sorry to the Family and friends. I have never met or known Simon but the only thing I would know that he is talented at drawing on whatever he prefeed to use and I would like to say thank you for making one of my logos and I hope you rest in piece.

Sincerely Cameron Brook.

I met Simon several times with Ruth and noticed how humble and a bit shy he would be studying quietly.  As we met more times we both became more talkative.  I will always appreciate and be thankful of the help both of you provided.  

Dear Simon 

We were best friends since first grade and I always remembered me and you playing around in recess and we always loved playing games like happy wheels,five nights at Freddy’s and many more.I also remembered we watched YouTubers like jacksepticeye,markiplier and pewdiepie and we would always laugh a lot In elementary.When I got the news that you passed away I never been this hurt in my life and I will always remember you and I will always be your best friend and It sucks that you will never see me be a world champ I’m going to miss you Simon

-Alex 

Dear Sakio, The epik gamers will sincerely miss you, so rest in peace buddy. You won't be forgotten, and you'll get justice.

It hurts to see someone die so young to not have a chance to live life through, to experience and see the wonders one does through their years of living I knew him in elementary school and he was a supporter on my insta and discord, he would always reply to my stories and was a nice kid and he had passions and I'm sad I couldn't see them evolve.
Fly high Simon (Saiko)

I know there’s nothing I can say to take away the pain you and your family are feeling at this moment.  Please know you have my full support in anything you need. We will all miss Simon every day.

i was friends with simon lara for around a month but didnt really have many interactions with him and its sad to see him go so young i hope he rests in peace

I'm Liam Campbell a Friend of Simon Ishamael Lara  this brings me great sadness to hear that he died at such a young age i knew him online as Saiko and he Knew me As Kizi221 .  he didn't get a chance to live life to the fullest and this greatly affects me and everyone else who chatted to him and worked with him over our various projects . he was our artist always creating logo's and other bits and pieces for our Youtube Group the Epik Gamers .  his entire skill set was invaluable and his work ethic was great to .   it feels for all of us that a important part of our group is missing a gear in a machine to power us now we must find someone else but he was one of a kind irreplaceable 
we will never probably see another person like Simon ever again in our entire life  and existence on earth . Goodbye Simon ishamael Lara a loving hard working and caring soul you will always be with us . 

Y'know
I didn't really know much about Saiko or Simon.
But I was his Friend (On discord).
He was a really talented artist.
who motivated me to work harder on my own art.
And just a great guy.
RIP Saiko or Simon
You will be Missed.

When I first joined Discord in early 2021, Saiko was one of my very first friends that I ever talked to on the platform, he made such great art and was always a funny guy and great person to talk to, I am in shock that he has passed away, I'm very sorry to his family for their loss, Rest In Peace Saiko, I'll miss you buddy

I have heard of you, I remembered you in the epik gamer server. You will be missed, I’m so sorry that you got shot. Rest in peace, your in a better place now.

I never met Simon but I knew he was a fan and talented individual.  It is very tragic to hear what happened to him. I offer my deep condolences, thoughts and prayers to his family and his friends. I am so sorry for your loss and know that words don’t suffice to help heal the pain, but I hope everyone will treasure the good memories of him to help heal during this difficult time.  🙏🏾❤️

Simon was always so sweet and kind. He was a freshman in my English class. I enjoyed his smiling face which brightened my day in our Zoom meetings. He will be missed and never forgotten. Please know your family is in my prayers. ~Mrs. Hanchett, MHS

One of the epik gamers, we didn’t know him in  real life, but he had a lot to live for.

The art he makes are honestly cool.
He was just a kid that had so much time.
Rest in peace and my condolences to his family.

Simon was a friend to all of us but knowing that he passed away makes me sad may he be with God now And may he rest in Peace and I send all my prayers to the Family of Simon Form and his Friends

As tough as Zoom teaching was, nothing made me happier than seeing Simon’s  face on the zoom screen. He was one of the only students who consistently showed his face, and he was always engaged and smiling.  A small, but significant happiness in such a dark time. 

 Rest In Peace.

Ruthie,

Working with you in the past, I seen you work so hard for your family. I knew Simon was very dear to you.
I'm sure it was very hard scheduling his care around work, but you did whatever it took.

Simon is now in beautiful heaven and forever in your heart.

My condolences to you and family🙏

Take care Ruthie



Sweet Simon , I had the honor of meeting you couple years ago.  Immediately I felt the love and kindness you have in your heart.  You help me take care of Pinto and I know he instantly felt your love.  Thank you mijo for being such a kind hearted loving person not only to your mom but also to all the little animals around you.  You will be missed so much! You're now a sweet little angel watching over everyone. We will always love you and keep you close to our hearts.  You're set free to continue to love.  Xoxo xoxo 
-Lili C

it's as it was yesterday you were in a hospital crib and I got to hold you and even changed your diaper.  circumstances might've not allowed us to spend much time together after that but as my nephew you were always held close to my heart.  We now get to lay you to rest.  Physically you may be gone but in our memories and in our hearts you will always be alive.  Rest in peace dear nephew, Simoncito.
