Obituary: Lloyd Simmons

Lloyd Simmons, at 69

Lloyd Simmons, 69, passed away peacefully at home in Hull on Sunday, April 27, 2025. Mr. Simmons was a proud lifelong resident of Hull, where he raised his family and became a true fixture of the town.

Mr. Simmons was funny, loyal, and incredibly skilled at just about everything – whether it was telling a great story, building a house, or restoring a 100-year-old building. He had an entrepreneurial spirit from the start, running his own ice cream truck as a kid, and went on to become a fixture in Boston’s masonry industry, specializing in historic restoration. He built his life’s work from the ground up, founding Simmons and Sons Masonry with his sons, Kevin and Corey. His hands shaped the strength and beauty of countless buildings, but his heart was what truly held everything together.

Beyond the work, there was nothing Mr. Simmons loved more than being a Dad. His love showed in the way he taught, protected, and admired his sons. Mr. Simmons’s life was built on loyalty, humor, and hard work, and those qualities live on in his children.

He is survived by his sons, Corey Simmons and Kevin Simmons, as well as Kevin’s partner, Amanda Donnell; his stepchildren, Kerie Seamans and Damon Seamans; the mother of his children, Lisa Simmons; his sisters, Ellen Sheridan, Joanne and Erin Simmons. He was predeceased by his brother, Eric Simmons.

A celebration of life will be held in the near future; the date will be announced on Lloyd’s Facebook page. In lieu of flowers, and to honor Mr. Simmons’s compassionate and generous nature, donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
