Simmie Lewis Williams Jr., 17, was buried over the weekend wearing a handsome beige suit and white gloves. His mother, Denise King, had searched to find the right outfit. It would be the first and only time she would see a suit on her oldest boy.
Sounds like a gay guy in drag... i dont think any of us can know if they were trans or not. speculation at this point, is a bad idea as thier dead... let things rest.

I had to take a deep breath after reading that. This represents one of my greatest nightmares, to be buried as a male. And I know it's exactly what Deb would do to me if she had the chance. This is just one more reason to finish the divorse. But I know I will also have to draw up a will to make sure it is absolutely clear what is to be done with my body when I am through with it.
Yeah I agree Lisbeth. One of my fears was that I'd be buried in a dress and have something like 'Beloved Daughter' on my stone.
Plant me under an oaktree and forget about me. That's all I ask. And if it comes down to it, I'll have an executor handle my funeral - (s)he's paid to honour and respect my wishes.
After I have passed, I really don't care what they do with me. I told my wife, the cheapest way to go. If they want to dress me in mens clothes so be it. They are only dressing a body and not my soul. I do believe in ghosts, so, I may come back to haunt them.
