Sergeant Dejion Stange-Simmons was laid to rest today [Dec 4] with full military honours, as the Royal Bermuda Regiment came out to pay their final respects to the 26-year-old soldier.
Sgt Stange-Simmons’ flag draped casket was borne by a military bearer party and transported on a Regiment gun carriage.
The funeral procession was led by the Regiment Band, and a contingent from the Regiment, led by the Commanding Officer, marched behind the gun carriage to St John’s Church.
At the gravesite, a final tribute was paid by the Royal Bermuda Regiment’s firing section, and the Regiment’s bugler played the ‘Last Post.’
In addition to Sgt Stange-Simmons family and friends, a large number of Regiment personnel were present, as were members of the Bermuda Police Service and Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service..

He also won an award for best Sergeant, received a letter of commendation for his work in support of the Bermuda Police Service, and was a member of Immediate Response Team 2.

Col Foster-Brown added: “His loss will be strongly felt across the Regiment, but particularly in A Company and the Sergeants’ Mess. Our thoughts are with family, particularly his parents Sandrine and Andre, his step-mother Tami, his three sisters and his brother.”
Sgt Stange-Simmons was found inside a Southampton residence at around 9:30pm on Thursday, November 26th, and the police said the circumstances surrounding his death are “suspicious.” The following afternoon, Friday, November 27th, the police confirmed that a man was in custody in relation to his death.
