Kim would have been in our graduating class, but tragically she passed away as the result of a dirt bike accident during the summer before her sophomore year at Northwestern High School. Her mother would come to school events, including senior prom, with her video camera to record the memories that Kim would have made.

Following is her obituary that was published in The Evening Herald on August 11, 1983:
