Theodore “Peter” Simmons departed this life on Thursday morning, December 1, 2022.
As a native and lifelong resident of Guilford County, North Carolina, he attended the local public schools and was a graduate of Northeast High School, Class of 1979. “Peter”, as he was affectionately referred by family and close friends, was the proprietor of T. Simmons Backhoe & Concrete. Spiritually, he was a faithful member of Smyrna Church of Christ. During his leisure, he enjoyed fishing, listening to music (Old School), watching football, racing and was a car enthusiast.

We thank God for this faithful servant who endured unto the end. Glory To God!
