    My "step"father Richard was the greatest man I've ever known. He loved my mom and her 3 crazy kids as his own for years without anything in return until we were old enough to realize how lucky we were to have such a great man in our lives. He taught us to love Jesus, be decent people, work hard, and take care of each other. He had a band and also taught us so much about music. After 30 years of being married to my mom, he passed away in 2020. My siblings and our spouses wrote his eulogy and made sure this song, Simple Man, was the 1st heard by everyone in the church who attended. He was the greatest man. I am so fortunate to have had 30 years of his time on earth being my dad.

    My son was 21 when he passed away. His two sisters picked their songs to be played and this was the song I chose to play at his funeral. It couldn't have been any more perfect. There were probably 250 people that attended and there wasn't a dry eye in the chapel on that day. Many thanks to Lynard Skynyrd for a song that has so much meaning to me. You Rock!!
    Your memories live on Brent Aaron Burgess!! One Love!

This song (every line of the song) hits hard in my heart and offers me a brief period of peace because momma told me this all the way up the point of her transition. I LOVE YOU, MOMMA. and thank you LS for making this timeless classic.

      I'm so sorry I can't ever imagine losing a child I've lost my parents I have lost a brother and sister at very young ages and my husband a short three years ago but to lose a child I just can't imagine. I've always wondered if it was punishment from God until I was directed to James 1:13 which reads this way. When under trial let no one say I am being tried by God for with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. That sure gets you to thinking why do we suffer. And then after I read this other scripture it really made me start doing some digging that's Revelation 12:12 on this account be glad you heavens and you who reside in them woe for the Earth and for the sea because the devil has come down to you having great anger knowing that he has a short period of time. Think about that for a moment. For more information go to jw.org

I speak life, blessings, restoration, complete healing over your spirit, your soul and your body in the name of Jesus and I speak salvation over you and your house, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ I declare and decreed this, amen.
      Pray this prayer all the time and it will go away, this is spiritual warfare, let the doctors do their job, you do yours and I can guarentee it, it will go away, ask the Lord about this, ask for wisdom and understanding on this. Ask the Lord for the root of the oroblem, how did this cancer gain entrance into yiur body? Ask, ask, ask, thre is a Living God and HE is good, if there was no God, then Good and evil would not exist. Have a bless day and I will help you prsy, from a distance, but mighty effective, hallelujah for the honor and glory of Jesus.

I attended college for two years and it wasn’t feeling right to me so I dropped out in 1999 and went onto something else I was passionate about. (Of course I worked hard until I figured out what I wanted to do but kept busy and living life.) I finally w ent to a trade school in 2003 and have been successful since. I can’t imagine what kids feel these days. These are some crazy days…. To me, I’m glad I dropped out because I didn’t want to waste my parents money paying out of state tuition. I wish you and your family the best 💜

      A week later I held her hand until her very last breath.

    Back when I was 15, I met a great man at my work. This was his song. Every time he would come in he would order a hamburger and a long Island iced tea. One day as I was sitting outside smoking a cig he sat with me and we talked about life. This was his favorite song. He passed in a horrible accident as he was driving his semi in snowy weather up in the Texas panhandle. To this day, I play this song at least twice 8n his memory. Cheers brotha, this one's for you. You taught me to be a simple man.

I don't know what age he was, but it was too young to be in that bad of shape. My other papaw quit smoking about 15 years ago, but he has bad COPD and got out of breath just from talking before being put on oxygen a couple months ago. My cousin (in his late 20s) has COPD from smoking. It hurts watching your loved slowly kill themselves with a bad habit

You as the smoker are the absolute last one to know how bad you smell. Even now, you're thinking, "I don't smell bad." Yep, you do. It's also a grand waste of money. Remember that longevity is one thing, but quality of life is quite another. Your voice changes and becomes way less clear.

It's not just drugs being dangerous but the Chinese flooding the country with Fentanyl to make them even deadlier without a single repercussion and that's why they do it they know they can kill a million of our citizens this way with little no consequences whereas using a gun to kill even one could trigger a war.

      Its just passed a year of your son's passing, and I was thinking... I lost my grandpa just about a year ago as well. It's crazy how time flies, but at the same time takes too long to move. What that means though, is that time will not stop, the healing process is immense, we just need to keep going. Your son, my grandpa, both are in a place where they can live... live better than they ever have. Hold those memories with you, and cherish them. And years from now, you'll be able to remember your son in tears of joy, for his life, rather than remorse. I wish you the bests of luck, and enjoy the new year. Let's hope 2021 is a year of recovery. God bless you.

      My son's wedding used rock bands' album covers instead of table numbers. His oldest friends' table was designated Lynyrd Skynyrd. So I contacted the wedding band ahead of time and asked if they knew Simple Man. They did and I surprised my son with it for our Mother/Son dance. He and the old friends' at the Skynyrd table were blown away!

    My mom passed away on January 11th, 2017. About a month later, I was building my first work bench (she was a really handy woman) and I broke down crying that I wished she could be there to see my creation and to tell me she was proud. I was listening to Pandora and had been listening to heavy rock all night, nothing soothing. After I broke down, cried and talked to mom, this song came next on the playlist. I immediately stopped what I was doing with the work bench and just cried and enjoyed the moment with my mom. I knew she was looking down from up above and couldn’t talk to me directly, so she had to show her grieving son that she was still with him in spirit.
    I get married in 2 days on 6-12-21 and this is the song I’m dancing too with my future mother-in-law. I love and miss you mom!!

      Livin' simply.. now that's a way of life right there.
      Sure havin' a lot of money is great, sure havin' a nice house and car is great too but it's the simple things in life that matter the most.
      Like a roof over your head, clothes on your back and food on the table.
      You don't need a million dollar mansion or anything like that just live simply.

    I was watching Hawaii Five O, and they played this song. It touched me so much, I Googled it. And then listened to the whole song. It brought tears to my eyes, but I "listened" to it again, and again. I'm going to make sure, that when God call's me home. When they close my casket, and carry me out. "THIS," IS THE SONG THEY PLAY. Not that it matters, "or", maybe it does. I am a 60 year old Black Man, but "THIS" song, made me cry once I googled it, and listened to the whole song. It's "AMAZING", what certain songs can do for you. No matter the race, color, creed, or religion. Extremely, a "POWERFUL" song. I had three sisters, that has gone above the clouds. My Father, Mother, and a Daughter. My Mother had three daughters, and "one" son,,,,, "Me"!!! I am the last of her Legacy, 😢😢😢. But "this" song, will play over me

      Yes this song resonates with many!! It touches on life but gives you spiritual insight to make it a truly unique and beautiful song! It’s just a song but it’s a metaphor for life. Funny I was just thinking about the group and I believe they are all dead except lead guitarist?? Thanks for your testimony.
