From Nicole Toner:
We had so many laughs. From him ripping the entire crotch of his jeans out at work to running to my classroom to share a letter he received from someone that may or may not have been trying to get a date with him. He was so trusting of everyone and always left his iPad sitting out opened up to the Book of Mormon after he finished his break at work. His laughter filled the hallways when he heard or told a funny joke. Lots of memories of him working at the school.
From Sandra Koyle:
Kim was our friendly Heyburn school custodian and was so excited to retire. Sending thoughts and Prayers of comfort and good memories for his family.
From Perry Gillette:
I am proud to call Kim a really good friend. He loved his family and the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful especially for Amber and her sweet family for what they have done for him. He loved his kids and was proud of them. I will miss him much
From Micah McAllister :
I am very saddened by the passing of Kim. He was grandpa to my kids and certainly will be missed by them and all who loved Kim. My condolences to all of Kim's surviving family. May you all find peace and comfort in this time.
From Terry Garner:
Always a smile, a happy greeting and a strong handshake. Always left leaving a positive note where he’d been. A great priesthood class teacher with long preparation and thoughtful spiritual delivery. Great brother in the gospel.
From Rose N George Warrell:
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. We had some great conversations with him over the years. He did some animal mounts for George, and he always opened the school up for George so he could work with Falko, the police K9.
There were times when I, Rose, was at the school with a daughter or two in tow, working on lesson plans and/or school assignments for my master’s degree. He would notice a vehicle or something else outside, and we would try to figure out whether we should call George or the police department to come and check it out. We made a lot of different predictions about what—or who—it might be.
Those were some truly memorable times, and I will always cherish those memories.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
From Joe Sanders :
