A fairytale turned into a nightmare: that's how the death of a beloved father on the South Side is being described by his mother.
"Simeon was his heart," said his mother, Diane Thunderbird. "It was his heart. I can just see him now. It's like I have an angel in the outfield now."
"All the coaches just loved him," said his mother. "I hope that they catch [his killer.] I pray that they catch him because it would take a complete devil to do something like this to a man like that."Thunderbird's athletic talent went straight to his three sons, all of whom starred on the Kenwood Academy baseball team, winning the Public League title just days before their father's death.
"Dad, your memory will always live on," said his other son, K'vion. "We're going to do big things for you. Our last name, forever, will be something great."
