Kim married the love of his life, Cindy, on February 11, 1984. Together for 40 years, they exemplified faithfulness and devotion to each other through sickness and in health. They raised two beautiful children, who gave them 5 beloved grandchildren. Kim was a family man. He loved to spend time with his wife, children, and grandbabies every chance he could. He also loved to inspire and guide family and friends throughout their lives through work, hunting, fishing, or playing ball together. His faith, love, and passion, all stemmed from his deep devotion to Jesus Christ.
