Cesar Simental-Marquez

September 5, 1979 — July 14, 2022

On July 14, Cesar Enrique Simental Marquez died from a fatal truck accident at the age of 42. He was doing his everyday load for work when he suddenly passed away.

Cesar was a son, father, brother, uncle, Padrino, friend, and soon-to-be grandpa. He was adored by many and will be greatly missed. He was the son of Gabriela Marquez and Enrique Simental. He was a brother to Valentin, Susana and Karina. He had three amazing boys, Angel (21), Isaac (14), and Sebastian (7). He also has three beautiful girls, Abril (11), Camila (8), and his nine-month-old Victoria. Cesar married his lovely wife, Cristina Gonzales Simental, on February 26, 2022.

Cesar was born in Mexico on September 5, 1979. He lived in Mexico for his entire childhood. Cesar and his family moved to the United States when he became older. Cesar moved to Garden City, Kansas, where he attended high school. After high school, he became a truck driver. He decided this was his favorite thing due to his love for cars. Cesar was also the mechanic in the family, where he would help fix everyone's car. If someone had a problem with their vehicle, he was the one to call. He was also an active member of his church.

Cesar had a ranch that he very much enjoyed. He had horses, goats, dogs, and many, many cats. You could say one of his favorite animals was horses. He enjoyed spending his free time riding horses. His favorite part about riding horses was that he was able to ride them with his family. He would take his son Angel Simental to ride horses with him often. Cesar began his love of horses in Mexico when his family taught him how to ride and train them, and since then, he has always loved them. One of his favorite things to do at his ranch was calf roping, except that instead of using a real calf, he had a fake calf.

One thing that was the most important thing to him was his family. Cesar took care of his family. If someone needed help, he would try his best to go straight there and help them. He would visit his mother, Gabriela Marquez, almost every day so she could see him and he could see her. He would do anything for them. Cesar would take his sister and his kids to the movies whenever a movie came out to spend quality time together. He loved his family very much.

Cesar was always happy, loyal, compassionate, a family man, hardworking, had the best smile, and was loving. He was accommodating. He would help people look for cars, or if they needed help fixing something in their house, he would go and help the best he could. He was also terrible at being on time. If we were trying to go on a road trip, he would say we were leaving at 6 am but would end up leaving at 7 am or even 8 am. But although he was very late for many things, including his wedding, this is something that we learned to love about Cesar. He could also be very stubborn, which is also something we grew to love about him. Cesar was also extremely friendly. He could walk into a situation where he doesn't know anybody, and towards the end, he would walk out with everyone being his friend. He had many, many friends.

Cesar Enrique Simental Marquez will forever be in our hearts. Although he will be missed, he will live on in our memories. Te amamos mucho Cesar! Fly high!

Obituario de César Enrique Simental Márquez

El 14 de julio, César Enrique Simental Márquez, murió a causa de un fatal accidente de camión a la edad de 42 años. Estaba haciendo su carga diaria de trabajo cuando falleció repentinamente.

César era hijo, padre, hermano, tío, padrino, amigo y futuro abuelo. Fue querido  y será extrañado por muchos. Era hijo de Gabriela Márquez y Enrique Simental, hermano de Valentín, Susana y Karina. Tuvo tres hijos maravillosos, Ángel (21), Isaac (14) y Sebastián (7). También tiene tres hermosas niñas, Abril (11), Camila (8) y su pequeña Victoria de nueve meses. César se casó con su encantadora esposa, Cristina Gonzales Simental, el 26 de febrero de 2022.

Cesar nació en México el 5 de septiembre de 1979. Vivió en México toda su infancia. Cesar y su familia se mudaron a los Estados Unidos cuando el tenia apenas 10 años; estudio la secundaria en Garden City, Kansas, años mas tarde se convirtió en camionero, decidió que esto era lo que más le gustaba debido a su amor por los autos. César también era el mecánico de la familia, donde ayudaba a arreglar el auto de todos. Si alguien tenía un problema con su vehículo, él era el indicado para llamar. También era un miembro activo de su iglesia.

César tenía un rancho que disfrutaba mucho. Tenía caballos, cabras, perros y muchos, muchos gatos. Su pasa tiempo favorito era montar a caballo su animal preferido ya que podia hacerlo con su familia y la mayoria del tiempo era con su hijo Angel. Comenzó su amor por los caballos en México cuando su familia le enseñó a montarlos y entrenarlos, desde entonces siempre los amo. Otro de sus pasatiempos  era atar terneros, excepto que en lugar de usar un ternero real, tenía un ternero falso.

La familia era lo más importante para él. César era el soporte de ella. Si alguien necesitaba ayuda, haría todo lo posible para ir directamente allí y ayudarlos. Visitaba a su madre, Gabriela Márquez, casi todos los días para que ella pudiera verlo y él pudiera verla. Él haría cualquier cosa por ellos. Cesar llevaría a su hermana y sus hijos al cine cada vez que saliera una película para pasar tiempo de calidad juntos. Amaba mucho a su familia.

César siempre fue alegre, leal, compasivo, un hombre de familia, trabajador, tenía la mejor sonrisa y era cariñoso. Él fue complaciente. Ayudaba a las personas a buscar autos, o si necesitaban ayuda para arreglar algo en su casa, iba y ayudaba lo mejor que podía. También era terrible para llegar a tiempo. Si intentáramos hacer un viaje por carretera, diría que saldríamos a las 6 am. pero terminaría saliendo a las 7 am. o incluso a las 8 am. Pero aunque llegó muy tarde para muchas cosas, incluida su boda. Esto es algo que aprendimos a amar de Cesar. También podía ser muy terco, que también es algo que nos encantó de él. César también fue extremadamente amable. Podría entrar en una situación en la que no conoce a nadie y, hacia el final, saldría con todos siendo sus amigos. Tenía muchos, muchos amigos.

Cesar Enrique Simental Marquez siempre estara en nuestros corazones. Aunque lo extrañaremos, vivirá en nuestros recuerdos. ¡Te amamos mucho César! ¡Vuela alto!
