Simon Anthony Bueno

Simon Anthony Bueno, affectionately known to many as "Sym," passed away peacefully on April 24, 2026, in his beloved hometown of Denver, Colorado. Born on September 22, 1956, Sym’s journey through life was marked by an adventurous spirit and a heart deeply tied to family and community.

From his earliest days, Sym embodied a zest for life that was infectious. Adventurous to the core, he was always on the go, exploring the picturesque corners of Colorado with boundless enthusiasm. Whether hopping on a bus to traverse the town or setting out on a new travel adventure, his curiosity knew no bounds. His love for the Broncos reflected not only a passion for sports but a deep connection to his local roots, a testament to his enduring pride in Denver.

Sym's personality was a mosaic of delightful contradictions: stubborn yet warm, straightforward yet deeply caring. He was never one to shy away from telling it like it is, offering honesty with a sense of humor that could light up any room. Those who knew him well cherished his candidness, his quick wit, and the unmistakable sparkle in his eyes that revealed a man who lived life fully and without pretense.

A family-oriented man through and through, Sym found joy in the simple pleasures of home life after his many outings. Once the day’s adventures had come to an end, you could find him settling into his favorite chair, embracing his role as a contented couch potato, indulging in movies that provided comfort and escape. Beyond his personal pursuits, his fascination with psychology showed an intellectual depth and a desire to understand the people around him. Coupled with his love for animals, it painted a picture of a soul who cared deeply about life in all its forms.

Simon’s life will be celebrated with a Viewing followed by a Celebration of Life on May 15, 2026, at Romero Funeral Home-Denver, located at 4750 Tejon Street, Denver, CO 80211. The Viewing will open at 1:30 p.m. and conclude at 2:00 p.m., with the Celebration of Life commencing immediately afterward until 3:00 p.m. These gatherings will offer moments for friends and loved ones to share memories, laughter, and the enduring legacy of a man who touched so many lives with his spirited approach and heartfelt nature.

Sym’s departure leaves a space that will echo with the vibrant stories of his travels, the unyielding bonds of family, and the many quiet moments spent in thoughtful reflection. In remembering Simon Anthony Bueno, we honor a man whose life was a vibrant journey—rooted in honesty, love, and the endless adventure of simply being himself.
