On behalf of the board of directors, staff, and volunteers at Hope +Me, our prayers and thoughts are with the Simmons family.

Martin’s legacy as Vice Chair of our Board will be remembered and cherished; he was an exceptional human being. His 12-year commitment to the organization was extraordinary; he was an effective ambassador championing our mission, raising money, and bringing awareness to mental health. Martin cherished his family, whom he loved, and often spoke of his pride in his children.

Martin inspired all of us with his brilliance, humility, and passion, and we will forever be in awe of what he accomplished on our behalf.
