Simon Stopka, who tragically died in a car accident at just 29 years old was a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished member of the Middletown, Connecticut community, Simon’s sudden departure has left an immeasurable void in the lives of those who loved him.
Simon was the beloved husband of Natalia Stopka and the proud father of two precious daughters, Lea (3) and Jolie (2). He was known for his warm smile, his kind and steady spirit, and his deep devotion to his family. To Natalia, he was a rock; to his daughters, he was their hero — a man who dreamed of giving them the world.
His passing has left his young family facing unimaginable grief. A GoFundMe fundraiser titled “Supporting Natalia Stopka and Her Daughters After Tragic Loss” has been launched to assist Natalia during this painful time. The fundraiser aims to help cover essential living costs, childcare, and everyday expenses while giving Natalia time to grieve without the immediate pressure of financial stress.
“We are heartbroken to share that Natalia Stopka’s beloved husband, Simon, tragically passed away in a car accident at just 29 years old,” the fundraiser states.
“Natalia is now facing the immense challenge of navigating life without her partner while caring for two young children.”
Simon’s legacy will live on in the hearts of his family and all those fortunate enough to know him. His love for Natalia and his girls was boundless — the kind of love that made everyone around him feel safe, seen, and supported.
As the community rallies around the Stopka family, words of comfort, prayers, and acts of kindness have begun pouring in — reminders that Simon’s impact reached far beyond his home.
A funeral service and memorial details will be shared by the family in the coming days. In the meantime, those wishing to help can contribute to the GoFundMe campaign or share it to reach others who may be able to assist.
Rest in peace, Simon Stopka. Your light, your love, and your legacy will never be forgotten.
