Harry Eugene Simons

Harry Eugene Simons, 76, of Bentonville, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on January 22, 2026 at Rio Grande Regional Hospital in McAllen, Texas, after a short battle with cancer and is now with his Lord and Savior.

Harry was born August 18, 1949 in Sacramento, California and was adopted at six weeks of age by Harry and Jane Simons. In June of 2024 he and his half sister connected through a DNA match in Ancestry and Harry was able to learn about his biological family.

Harry grew up in Oregon, where he discovered his lifelong passion for motorcycles. He began riding in his teens and cherished the thrill of the open road throughout his life. Owning nearly 70 motorcycles, almost one for every year of his life, his adventurous spirit let him across the country and shaped a life rich with stories and friendships. Harry and his wife, Rebecca, have spent the last eight years wintering in Southern Texas and were known as “Winter Texans“.

Harry is survived by his wife of 48 years, Rebecca; his son Christopher; grandsons Connor, Brendan, and Patrick. He is also survived by his half-sister, Lynn Sheley; half-brothers, Richard Cabelera and Gary Cabelera; and numerous nieces and nephews. He leaves behind so many dear friends both in Arkansas and in Texas.

Harry is preceded in death by his mother and father, Harry and Jane Simons and his biological mother Lois Ray Hogan Cabelera.

A  Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
