LAZAROS (LAZ) NICHOLAS SIMEONIDIS
January 23, 1994 - August 14, 2021
Laz will be greatly missed by his mother Jodie Simeonidis; father Greg Simeonidis; sisters, Kassandra and Stephanie Simeonidis; grandfather Lazaros Simeonidis Sr; grandmother Judith Bradley; loving aunt Natasa Simeonidis (Alex Robinson); loving uncle David Bradley (Debbie); loving aunt Rhea Topolniski; his nan Nesta Topolniski and many great friends. Sadly, Laz's grandmother, Valentina Simeonidis and grandfather, Brian Bradley predeceased Laz. It gives us great comfort knowing Laz is now at peace with his grandparents and is loved here on earth and in heaven.
Laz grew up in Fort Garry and attended General Byng School and Vincent Massey Collegiate. He graduated in 2012.
He grew up in the family business and was employed at Santa Lucia Pizza. He worked as a cook and was a diligent and hard worker. Laz had many friends amongst his coworkers. He thought of them as family.
In addition to his family and friends, Laz loved to skateboard. He began skateboarding at a very young age and continued skateboarding into his adulthood. He had an inquisitive mind and enjoyed making puzzles, astronomy and had a love of math. He enjoyed eating a varity of foods from different countries. The spicier the better. He never met a hot sauce that he wouldn't challenge!
Laz also loved going on vacations to theme parks in the US and Canada. He never met a roller coaster that he was afraid of getting on and enjoying it for dear life!
Another of Laz's passions was his music and being a DJ. He was known as "LazOff."
He enjoyed producing and mixing his own electronic music, playing psytrance and dubstep. Watching the crowd dancing, enjoying his set and having fun with the other DJ's brought him such joy!
You can enjoy some of Laz's music @www.soundcloud.com/Lazertheblazer.
Laz was a quiet, sensitive and kind person who always thought of others before himself. He conducted his life with a reserved dignity that we could all learn from. Our hearts are broken, but we hope that at some point the pain we now feel will be overcome by the many wonderful memories we had with him. Though he was taken away from us too soon, we are very fortunate to have had him in our lives.
Funeral service will be held on August 26 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Demetrious Greek Orthodox Church, 2255 Grant Avenue and will be held in compliance with current Provincial COVID-19 restrictions.
Those who cannot join us, are welcome to watch the service online via live streaming at: https://youtu.be/0zDlTpW-Pu4.
Following the service, interment will take place at Thomson In The Park, 1291 McGillivray Blvd.

My deepest condolences go out to the family at Ecole Robert H. Smith on the unexpected and untimely passing of their beloved family member.

Greg, Jodie & family, Shelley & I never met Laz but we've known you, Greg, initially through Josh Nekrep plus I briefly delivered at your Main Street store a number of years ago, and have enjoyed your pizza since I met my wife in 1994. We are very sad to hear of your son's passing and are praying for your comfort during this absolutely horrible time. God bless you and your loved ones, Don & Shelley Bracken - Posted by: Don Bracken (Restaurant customer 25+ years...) on: Aug 29, 2021

As I read through your memories it triggered some of my own. I do remember the skate boarding and in fact I think I had to chase him down the hallways at Byng to get off his board. He was indeed an inquisitive student, quiet but witty and very kind. I am so sorry to hear of this news. You are a lovely family. - Posted by: Jennifer Gibb (friend) on: Aug 27, 2021

Although I don’t know your family, I offer my deepest condolences for such a loss as this. I only met Laz a few times when dropping my son off to enjoy Laz’s company. He was so nice and so respectful. My son always admired him and his influence on my son. They enjoyed making music together and my son spoke so much about Laz and what he meant and still means to him. My son is heartbroken as many will be. I hope and pray that you will all find peace in knowing that he is in a better place now even though it was way too early for Laz to leave. - Posted by: James Carter (Friend) on: Aug 22, 2021
