Justin Lee Simmons

Justin Lee Simmons, 37, of Green River, passed away Aug. 21, 2017, at his home.

Simmons was lifetime resident of Green River.

He was born on Aug. 9, 1980, in Rock Springs, the son of Dean Paul Simmons and Jackie Lee Behunin. Simmons attended schools in Green River and was a 1999 graduate of the Green River High School. He also attended school in Riverton.

He worked as a roustabout for Crossfire LLC in Rock Springs.

He is preceded in death by his paternal grandparents Dick and Irene Simmons; maternal grandparents Duane Deck, Betty Deck and Mel Behunin; and three cousins, Troy Morgan, Aaron Clark, and Gary Nelson.
