San Sim, 23

He was someone who you wanted to kick ass with, and laugh together about it later. this guy loves to drink WHISKEY!!

I knew him since elementary so when I heard the news about his death I was heartbroken to hear this . But he left me with a lot of good childhood memories that I won't forget. He was a big kid and a child at heart and he always makes me feel like lil kid again so thank you my friend and I love you and miss you.

I don't know San, but Godspeed. Bless his family and brethren. Please accept my condolences and support for his family in this terribly difficult time. THANK YOU for your sacrifice, San.

LCPL Sim was a good man and a good Marine. I was proud to have been his chaplain in Iraq. He will not be forgotten by me. Soli Deo Gloria.

I went to boot Camp with San a Really great Guy always finding a way to make the best out of it you will be missed Bro.

I did two tours with Sim, you couldn't help but love him.

SIMBA! hey brother just stopping by saying hello. Well i think about you all the time.Being your roommate for 3 yrs out in 29 palms really made the time fly. Like when we were in the field or on deployment. On post laughing our asses off. from M.A.P. platoon to duece duece. see you soon brother.

my uncle

I shared so many laughs with him in Mrs. Landrian's spanish class. He was the only person to call me by my spanish name "Pancho" after our class ended. Every time I think of him now, I can still hear him say "Pancho" in my head...

I still think about you every day Sim i miss and love you, hey I'm doing good though got a little family of my own see you soon brother ill bring the honey buns..

My brother and I went to boot camp with san, he was a great and funny guy. I regret that I did not stay in contact with him over the years and now we can never reconect. I will miss you my friend.

Semper fi

damn its already been two years..were all missing you.I love you and i miss you i wish you could be here with us

I remember Sam from junior high. He always had a big smile on his face. My eyes get watery everytime i think of him. Semper Fi Brother.

I remember standing post in the cold...we were all miserable. But he wasn't he had an unending amount of luster. He would pull off hand stands and head spins just to see you smile. It effects me even now to know he isn't out there. To all my brothers, alive or passed on, I miss you, and until we meet again, Semper Fi.

I remember the time Sim brought back a duck to the barracks from his hometown, he cooked it and it was in his fridge one day when I opened it, I was in shock! When I looked at him we both broke out in laughter, this is just one of many times I shared a laugh with him while serving in the Marines. I got out after the first deployment to Iraq Sim did and it hurts to know he didn't come back home on his third. RIP Sim.

Man sim was definitely a one of a kind man. You can always count on him for anything, especially a great laugh. Had mad swag to him, always thought it was funny to see him in his little ole car. So low he could barely drive on gravel. Great guy great personality. Stuff was too funny when he beat up prather's scummy ass. Dude definitely was a true grunt. His death was very tough on the company, and inspired many of his juniors to volunteer just like him. We will never forget you and we will meet up again my brother Semper Fi And remember Suicide Charley all day.

I miss you uncle San... You gave tough love and taught me how to be strong and have no fear..I remember you telling me that crying is for "wussies" and to be strong, and that's what I'm going to do.... i'll try my best to stay strong and keep holding back these tears for you.. I Love you and miss you and will cherish these memories in my heart forever! Rest In Paradise!
