About | Anton Michael Thomas Simpkins Chesapeake - On the evening of March 1, 2015 at 10:30p.m., Anton Michael Thomas Simpkins answered the call of his Heavenly Father and transitioned into eternal paradise. Anton was a native of Chesapeake, Virginia and a graduate of Indian River High School. He was also a faithful member of Grace Lutheran Church. Mr. Simpkins went on to be a co-owner and delivery driver of Consolidating Beverage for 30 years. His diligence in his company awarded him the honor of Who's Who in Virginia. In his spare time he performed lead guitar locally as well as honed his craft in martial arts; he was a black belt in taekwondo. Anton may not be with us in the physical but his spirit lives on in the hearts of his beloved wife of 30 years, Shelley; two loving children, daughter Tonay and son Hunter; his devoted parents, John and Mildred Simpkins; his brother John and a legion of additional relatives and friends. At Mr. Simpkins' request, no services will be held. His great sense of humor, zest for life and compassion for others will certainly be missed. Anton's final arrangements have been entrusted to Altmeyer Funeral Home. |
