Created July 8th, 2026

On July 2, 2026, Brian Simone unexpectedly lost his beloved wife of 19 years, Andrea. Together, Brian and Andrea built a life rooted in love, family, and a shared commitment to helping others while raising their 17-year-old son, Austin.

Andrea was a devoted wife and mother and served as the Human Resources Director at Segerdahl Printing, where she was respected for her compassion, professionalism, and dedication to those she worked alongside.

Brian has dedicated the past 25 years of his life to serving others, 21 years as a Bartlett police officer. Throughout his career, he has earned the respect of his colleagues and the community through his leadership, integrity, and unwavering commitment to helping those around him. As a Sergeant, Brian is known for the genuine care he shows the team he leads, always willing to mentor, encourage, and support others.

His passion for developing future generations extends far beyond his daily responsibilities. Brian has been instrumental in coordinating the Citizen Police Academy, Teen Citizen Police Academy, and the Alignment Collaborative First Responder Internship Program, creating opportunities for community members and young adults to better understand public service while inspiring future leaders.

Now, Brian and Austin are facing the unimaginable challenge of moving forward without Andrea. As they grieve this tremendous loss, they are also navigating the many emotional and financial challenges that accompany such an unexpected tragedy.

This fund has been established to help ease those burdens and allow Brian and Austin the time and support they need to heal. Whether through a donation, sharing this page, or simply keeping the Simone family in your thoughts and prayers, every act of kindness is deeply appreciated.

Brian has spent his career serving and supporting others. Today, we have the opportunity to come together and support him and Austin during one of the most difficult times in their lives.

Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and prayers.
