Highlights of his life included vacations with family and friends. Later in life he developed a love for kayaking, fishing and horseracing.
Kim is preceded in death by his grandparents, Jack and Ethel; father, Richard; and daughter, Danielle.
His is survived by wife, Terry; mother, Mary; sister Marilee (Larry); and his three sons.

I knew Kim’s grandparents. & Dad very well.His grandma was our teachers aid at the Alida one room school. I met Kim in 7th grade at Bagley High. He was a wonderful friend, a very gentle personality with a great sense of humor. I will miss him & will be praying for his family.
So very sad to hear of Kim’s illness and death. My condolences.
He was such a blessing to work with our birthdays are days apart. We would always trade a bottle of wine. I will truly miss his smile. Very nice person.
He was a joy to talk sports with. Condolences to the family. Yo will be missed.
I worked with Kim on the dock at the Hub. He was a great co-worker. Never complained. He was a joy to work with. RIP Kim. Prayers to your family.
So sorry to have read of Kim’s death. May the joys you knew and the times you shared help comfort you at this sad time. This Bible verse recorded in John 5:28 has been of comfort to our family when experiencing a loss. It reads “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus Christ) voice and come out.” May Jehovah the God of all comfort give strength and his love to each of you.
We are so sorry for your loss Terry and boys. Even though we moved away from River Falls and haven’t kept in touch, we will never forget Kim’s zest for life and the pride he had in his heart for Terry and his boys. We will always have fond memories of trolling in his boat after River Falls Days festivities (in his garage). Kim always made sure you caught something delicious at the end of your fishing line.
Happy fishing in Heaven Kim! I know you are sure to catch the big one with Danielle. Hugs and prayers Terry, Mitchell, and David.
