JULY 2024

With heavy hearts, we announce the unexpected passing of Simon James McChesney at the tender age of 3 on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. Simon was born on June 26, 2021.

Simon was a beacon of joy and energy. Funny and outgoing, he was eager to make friends with anyone he met. For three years, his laughter filled the family home. He wholeheartedly loved his twin brother and best friend, Sullivan, often leading the charge in their silly and spontaneous fun. He was a beloved little brother to his sister Emory, and his patience and care for his older brother, Landon, were a testament to his kind and loving nature. In addition to his siblings, Simon is survived by his parents, Michael and Jaren (Woodland) McChesney; his grandparents, James and Christine Woodland, Charlene McChesney, Doug (Victoria) McChesney; uncles, Jimmy (Nicole) Woodland, Jason (Cori) Woodland, Jimmy (Kristin) McChesney, Steven (Holly) McChesney; and many cousins and friends.

In all this world, there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child, and Simon was the happiest of them all. We go forward, carrying his love of life in us always and mending our broken hearts by taking every opportunity to find joy.

Visitation will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Monday, July 22 at SCHOEDINGER NORTHWEST, 1740 Zollinger Road, Upper Arlington, Ohio 43221. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10AM on Tuesday, July 23, 2024 at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church, 1559 Roxbury Road, Columbus, Ohio 43212 followed by a private interment ceremony for the family.

As Chris and her husband Jim along with their daughter Jaren and husband Mike  mourn the loss of this precious soul, Simon, please keep their entire families in your thoughts and prayers.

Helen’s care team believes she has entered a healing phase. They believe her serious eye infection has resolved, although continued vigilance is needed. Her migraines have dissipated and other pain that she was experiencing has diminished as well. This is very good news.

Your thoughts and prayers for her continued recovery will be meaningful.
