Tell City Resident Steve Simpson Dies at 76, Funeral Plans Announced

Steve Simpson, a resident of Tell City, passed away on December 9, 2025 at the age of 76. His family has arranged memorial and visitation services through Zoercher Gillick Funeral Home, and the obituary notice lists service times and locations along with an online memorial page where community members may leave condolences.

Survivors include his children and grandchildren, who are listed among family members in the notice. The arrangements provide multiple opportunities for friends and neighbors to pay respects, with visitation set before the memorial service, and a memorial page established to collect messages of condolence. The funeral home is coordinating details for family and community access to services.

For Perry County residents, Simpson's passing is a local loss. He was a member of the Tell City community and his family connections extend across the county. The public nature of the visitation and memorial offers a focal point for community mourning and support, and the funeral home has been identified as the point of contact for logistical information.

Obituaries and memorial listings serve practical purposes beyond honoring a life. They inform immediate neighbors and distant relatives about times and locations for services, and they help the local community organize support for surviving family members. In a county the size of Perry County, where personal networks are a key part of social and civic life, the ability to attend a visitation or submit an online condolence can significantly affect how families manage funeral expenses and community support in the days after a death.

Residents who wish to offer sympathy or learn specific times and locations for the visitation and memorial service should contact Zoercher Gillick Funeral Home or visit the memorial page referenced in the obituary notice. The family has invited condolences through that page and will receive messages there as they make arrangements.
